This was a perfect little holiday read. I really loved the concept around time and how even the smallest action can have big impacts on those around you. Wasn‘t overly keen on the ending but overall worth a read #pick

First couple of pages, I found the writing a little cliche YA-ish & I thought I wasn't going to like it but then the writing warmed up, the pace set off at a gallop, the plot started unrolling like a toilet roll wrapped round a puppy and ...

💥KA-BLAM💥

... just like that I'm in the middle of an utterly wonderful reading experience. It had time travel, a non-slushy romance, tears jerked & a feel good ending. It pressed ALL my literary buttons.

TrishB I loved this too 👍🏻 4y
Mishu94 I really want to read this! Should this be my next read? 4y

#MarchIntoThe70s

In this #BlameItOnTrish book, there‘s a bit of time travel and a lot of #WishYouWereHere. A lovely read.

Cinfhen I‘m drawn to the graphics you choose 🧡but I‘m getting a YA vibe ?!?! @TrishB will I like this book? Jenny, what do you think?!?! 5y
JennyM @Cinfhen it‘s not YA, but I would say it‘s a comfort read /palate cleanser. I read it after a very heavy read and it was a perfect change of pace. 5y
TrishB I would say it was ‘sweet‘ in a nice way. I really enjoyed it , but it has time travel Cindy and I know you don‘t love that @Cinfhen 5y

Having #StartedFromTheBottom of my library haul, I‘m excited to finally start the tagged book this weekend. I think it was a recommendation from Trish, so Superlambbanana is photo bombing just for you 😘 @TrishB

Here‘s to a great February Cindy & Megan 😊

TrishB I hope you like it, I really enjoyed it. I love the Superlambbanana ❤️❤️ and that it‘s in Australia!! I have a little something for you from York - kept forgetting to ask for your address - email me when you get chance - Trish.barker@liverpool.ac.uk 5y
JennyM @TrishB aw, you are thoughtful. Thankyou. I‘ll email over the weekend. My sister lives in West Kirby and sent him a few years back - he sits on my bedside table 😊 5y

rockpools You‘re very welcome! Hope you‘re feeling ok. What do you think we need to do to stop publishers defacing books with stickers? That one‘s particularly 😖 5y
Lel2403 @RachelO I do wonder why they do that when they make such a big deal about cover reveals then stick a big sticker on it📖. I‘m not too bad, a bit sore still but it‘s getting better Thankyou 5y

4/5. The writing is calm and transfixing. The plot build up was just right. It felt like a light read for a summer afternoon, but the ending stirs up just the right amount of emotions.

@ScorpioBookDreams posted this a couple of weeks ago - I'd never heard of the author and thought it sounded interesting and time travel 😀💝.
This is an amazing, lovely, sad but uplifting book.
It's about a lot of things, but mostly family and love and sacrifice.
Now I'm going to have to buy everything by the author, oh dear!

MicheleinPhilly Oh shucks. Hate when that happens. 😉 7y
TrishB @MicheleinPhilly Have accepted my fate 😀 ordered 2 'like new' hardbacks for £5 and no delivery costs! 7y
ScorpioBookDreams She's such a good author yet I never hear people talking about her often. So glad you enjoyed it! 7y

A deeply felt and intense read. I loved how Luna's present changed so incrementally, and the existential crises she dealt with as she nudged her way towards the life she felt she should have had. Vivid characters and a colourful and lively depiction of 1970s Brooklyn, with the dark menace of racial tension, the Mob and gang violence just waiting to boil over. A fantastic read, and strongly recommended.
