Most Disappointing Books of 2020

January 7, 2021January 3, 2021 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 9 Comments

Sadly, I don't enjoy every book I read. In most cases, I would just put them aside and move on with my life but when it comes to ARCs, I am ridiculously stubborn. I don't want my feedback ratio to be adversely affected by a book I don't like, so I suffer through bad prose, … Continue reading Most Disappointing Books of 2020

Sunday Sum-Up: August 16, 2020

August 16, 2020August 15, 2020 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 23 Comments

A few things from the week: On my day off, I drove all the way down to the botanical garden to photograph the flowers and whatnot, only to get there, have a lovely shot lined up, and then realize that my camera had no memory cards in it, and I had left my regular camera … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: August 16, 2020

Sunday Sum-Up: August 9, 2020

August 9, 2020August 9, 2020 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 15 Comments

The week started out well when my local NPR station was playing Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade on my way to work. It's one of my favorite symphonic pieces, and it was a good omen for what ended up being a pretty good week. My 2021 planner arrived on Wednesday. I use Leuchtturm 1917 notebooks in part because … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: August 9, 2020

Another week has gone, and I'm bidding it good riddance. Mostly. Work was crazy busy again, but the weather was great. It has cooled off far more than I expected it to, and we're expecting lows in the 50ºF (10ºC) range. That's practically autumnal! It's been great to shut off the air conditioner, have the … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: August 2, 2020

State of the ARC: June 2020

June 30, 2020June 28, 2020 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 8 Comments

State of the ARC is a meme hosted by Avalinah’s Books in which we round up our ARCs and attempt to wrangle them into something approaching order. Sometimes it’s like herding cats.   Not a whole lot going on for me over at NetGalley. I received two approvals in June and finished one review. Most … Continue reading State of the ARC: June 2020

State of the ARC: April 2020

April 30, 2020April 28, 2020 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 3 Comments

State of the ARC is a meme hosted by Avalinah’s Books in which we round up our ARCs and attempt to wrangle them into something approaching order. Sometimes it’s like herding cats.   I had no new ARC approvals in April. Part of that was because I didn't request any new titles, and part of … Continue reading State of the ARC: April 2020

State of the ARC: February 2020

February 28, 2020February 26, 2020 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 13 Comments

State of the ARC is a meme hosted by Avalinah’s Books in which we round up our ARCs and attempt to wrangle them into something approaching order. Sometimes it’s like herding cats.   February was a busy month for ARCs and releases! Four of the books I read in February were ARCs, and most of … Continue reading State of the ARC: February 2020

I accomplished less than I hoped for this past week, but when a co-worker invites you to Star Trek trivia night at his favorite taproom, you go to Star Trek Trivia night. So after work on Tuesday, we met up with a couple of his friends, ordered some pizza, and proceeded to place second in … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: February 2, 2020
