It was this tv show in the late 70s that made me love time travel - being able to visit your grandparents as children in the early 1900s! Time travel novels for me can be escapist fantasy or dystopian sci fi - sometimes a delight, sometimes a disaster - and my tastes have moved from fantasy towards dystopia lately #timetraveltop5 @Ruthiella
1 - The Time Travellers Wife
2 - Outlander
3 - Doomsday Book
4 - Black Out/All Clear
5 - Kindred

Centique If you have some time travel faves, feel free to make a list too! @Dragon @LeahBergen @Ruthiella 2d

AlaMich I also recommend this one by Neal Stephenson and Nicole Galland. It‘s a bit of a chunkster but worth it.

Rise and Fall of D.O.D.O.

(edited) 2d

LeahBergen I have a copy of the tagged book! I must get to it soon! 2d

julesG @AlaMich the audiobook of D.O.D.O. is good 2d

AlaMich @julesG I know! I listened and read the print edition. Have you read the sequel?

Master of the Revels: A Return to Neal Stephenson's D.O.D.O.

(edited) 2d

julesG @AlaMich Yes. Like you, book+audiobook. 2d

Centique @Luke-XVX I remember it being so good, I must re-read it! 2d

Dragon I also liked

Wrong Place, Wrong Time

The Treasure Hunters | Enid Blyton

#WondrousWednesday @Eggs
This was one of my absolute favourite,edge of the seat adventure books when I was a kid.I could probably read it now and still love it!
From a children's book,definitely George Kirrin of The Famous Five,not perfect at all,straining against the constraints of girlhood,a clever rebellion against expected behaviours.
I read The Long Goodbye and would give it all the stars!!

Eggs Love Enid Blyton❣️ Thanks for playing 🥳 3w

Shopping | Rosemary Wells

Today‘s book buying excursions was kind of a bust. I got stuff for other people but only found 2 coloring books for myself. The romance section was disappointing for such a large store. They did have an awesome YA collection though. I did also get this shirt so all good?

I stopped buying gifts for my niblings years ago. They have all the stuff they could ever want. I buy savings bonds to put a few dollars away for their futures for birthdays and Christmas. So here I am bundled up and ready to sleep instead of being out shopping with the crowds.

LiseWorks So smart! 6mo

Enemies in the Orchard: A World War 2 Novel in Verse | Dana VanderLugt

pick

It was a strange feeling to read this story about German POWs in lower Michigan during WWII. I never knew POW camps existed in Michigan until I was an adult, and to discover this story has a connection to the teeny (teeny) tiny town I spent my early childhood in was just bizarre. I enjoyed the verse and the POVs of these two characters. I did not enjoy the very abrupt ending, though it's certainly fitting in any book on WWII.
