Sunday Sum-Up: January 29, 2023

January 29, 2023January 28, 2023 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 6 Comments

I had a busy week at work last week, thanks to a tedious but necessary annual task that always takes several days to complete. We finished it yesterday, but while that's all done next week promises to be a busy one, too. At least Monday and Tuesday will be busy. After that, I think things … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: January 29, 2023

Sunday Sum-Up: January 22, 2023

January 22, 2023January 21, 2023 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 13 Comments

Quick sum-up this time, as I have a few things going on at the moment. We've had a couple of days of snow this week, though neither day gave us very much-- a couple of inches at most. Enough to be pretty, but not enough to cause real problems. Which I'm fine with. They got … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: January 22, 2023

Sunday Sum-Up: January 15, 2022

January 15, 2023January 14, 2023 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 21 Comments

It's been a quiet and cozy week around here. I'm still enjoying the vibes provided by the new living room lamp, and I'm finally getting around to finishing up some Netflix shows and watching a few movies I've had in my queue for a long time. So I finished up Wednesday (which was fun, though … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: January 15, 2022

Best Books of 2022

January 12, 2023January 11, 2023 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 9 Comments

Now that we're nearly halfway through January, I should probably get around to writing my 2022 wrap-ups, huh? So let's get to it. I read 160 books last year. I gave seven new-to-me books five stars, but that doesn't mean they were necessarily new favorites. Sofi Thanhauser's Worn: A People's History of Clothing was incredibly … Continue reading Best Books of 2022

Sunday Sum-Up: January 8, 2023

January 8, 2023January 7, 2023 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 13 Comments

I did not, on New Year's Eve, make a resolution to be cozier in my little corner of the world, but that seems to be what is happening this winter. So way back in my college years, when I got my first apartment, I bought a floor lamp for my living room. It was nothing … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: January 8, 2023

Sunday Sum-Up: December 18, 2022

December 18, 2022December 17, 2022 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 13 Comments

Given that the last time I was sick was January 2020, I'd forgotten how long it takes for me to recover from a cold. It's not fun. I'd like to not do it again for a while. And I'm doubly glad that I've gotten both my Covid and flu shots. Obligatory Mina Photo: I pulled … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: December 18, 2022

November Summary, December Preview

December 5, 2022December 2, 2022 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 5 Comments

How is it that November always goes so quickly? Most of the month was cold and windy, seasoned with snow flurries and a bit of rain. We could use some more precipitation around here, so if anyone wants to send us some of their snow or rain, I'd appreciate it. Having fire weather in winter … Continue reading November Summary, December Preview

Sunday Sum-Up: December 4, 2022

December 4, 2022December 3, 2022 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 2 Comments

It's been a blustery week around here with the kind of wind that makes it difficult to open doors, keep hats on, and otherwise go about one's business outside. So I stayed inside on the windy days and took advantage of the less windy afternoon on my day off to do a bit of Christmas … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: December 4, 2022

Sunday Sum-Up: Nov 20, 2022

November 20, 2022November 19, 2022 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 14 Comments

Winter made an early appearance in the shape of cold, wind, and snow flurries throughout the week. It wasn’t enough snow to actually collect, but the tiny bit we got was enough to cheer me up in the face of some blustery days. And while I enjoy a bit of snow in the winter, this … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: Nov 20, 2022

Sunday Sum-Up: November 6, 2022

November 6, 2022November 5, 2022 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 13 Comments

We've been in a drought for quite some time around here. It hasn't been as bad here as it is in other parts of the country, but the rivers have been running low and the ground is very dry. So when I was woken up by a strange noise the other night, I thought at … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: November 6, 2022
