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 1w

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) 7d

LeahBergen I have a copy of the tagged book! I must get to it soon! 7d

julesG @AlaMich the audiobook of D.O.D.O. is good 7d

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) 7d

julesG @AlaMich Yes. Like you, book+audiobook. 7d

Centique @Luke-XVX I remember it being so good, I must re-read it! 7d

Centique @AlaMich @julesG I have that on my TBR but I must move it up! I will look for the audiobook. 7d

The Loud Librarian | Jenna Beatrice

Such a cute book. My son picked this out to have me read to him today. Sweet Penelope wants so much to be a librarian. She just has one little BIG problem. A good book to show children (and adults, hopefully) that sometimes we need to get creative to make our dreams and talents match.

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?

Doctor Dolittle's Post Office | Hugh Lofting

so-so

3✨There was a lot of mini stories in here, and a large bird presence as they are the ones helping to deliver the letters. I really liked how Dr Dolittle helps to create a written language for the animals so they can communicate through mail. With that I finished the first Volume! 😍 #DolittleDiscussion

TheAromaofBooks The chapters where different animals were telling random stories definitely felt like filler. But also seemed like something I would have enjoyed as a bedtime story when I was a kid haha 1mo

Roary47 @TheAromaofBooks That is true. I read a chapter book to my son (1 year old) who likes to just lay and listen and 1 chapter a day is pretty much his limit. 1mo
