Welcome to Litsy!

So far this is giving Call Me By Your Name (but instead of a peach, a pear). 🍐

This is cheesey, time travelling fun at its best.
Robyn travels back to Wars of the Roses time.

Enjoying this book from a debut author I met at Adventures By The Book Superbook 6 in San Diego in March.

I had to use the internet to remind me of what I have read that fit. There were some titles I‘ve read but don‘t like b/c romance was the focus - not my cuppa.

Do you have a favorite time travel book? Post ‘em or let me know in the comments! 😃

It's a chilly morning for porch reading, but, as always, it's making me happy. Our road trip was fun but there's no place like home! I started this while we were in Moab, as I wanted to read something set in Utah, and I'm still plugging along.

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

We follow the ups and downs of the relationship of two haenyeo (sea women) played out against a backdrop of Korean history from 1938 to the present (2008).

As someone with only vague knowledge of the barest outline of Korean history (Japanese occupation, Korean War, brutal dictatorship, democracy), I found that aspect of the book very interesting. I don't think I'd ever heard of the April 3rd Incident, which plays a pivotal role in the book. ⬇

Sadly, I was a bit underwhelmed with this one. The premise is interesting—female journalist in WWI era stumbles upon a dead body, and she is determined to find out whodunit. While I appreciate the historical facts placed into the narrative, it leaves the flow of the story a bit disjointed. I may consider reading book two at some point, but am not in a hurry to pick it up.
