The Psychology of Time Travel | 
@cobwebmoth starting this tonight. Prepared to take notes. This is what it feels like to have time to read and no assignments due....(until Wed.) #lmpbc
@BethM Thank You!!! These goodies are perfect! I‘m always surprised by how quickly a month can go by!!! I‘ve loved doing #LMPBC with all of you! Is anyone doing the next round? I hesitated but saw a group specifically for historical fiction and that‘s my other favorite genre.... @cobwebmoth @collegecatlady
#covercrush round 2. 7 books, 7 days, no explanation.
10 hours done for #24b4monday @TheReadingMermaid @Andrew65
Day 4 - #covercrush #7covers7days
I love this cover! In person it looks like the pictures were almost sewn on. It‘s wicked cool! (I know I don‘t need an explanation 🤪)
This book was really interesting too!
Again, don‘t feel like tagging anyone because it seems like everyone is already playing along. If you aren‘t, feel free to join in!
pick#lmpbc I LOVED this book. Fast paced and entertaining. It throws you off just enough that you‘re not 100% sure of who did what. I love that the book made me think and be more actively engaged. Great pick! @cobwebmoth @collegecatlady @Chrissyreadit
pickI‘ve been reading a lot lately (even if I haven‘t posted much) and this is one of the few books that I feel the need to mention.
I just finished this novel in one sitting, and it was—quite frankly—fantastic. The way it unraveled was unusual and kept me hooked, and I was both surprised and delighted when one of the main characters turned out to be a lesbian.
Definitely recommended, especially if you‘re sick of tragic queer endings.
“Grace‘s complaints reminded Ruby of her own feelings about university friends. People you‘d once die for take appalling paths. It‘s not that they become unrecognizable. They become more like themselves. Personality quirks become more pronounced, and so do values, until you wonder how you ever ignored the differences between you.”
Super stoked to read this. @collegecatlady you are totally on top of this #lmpbc! Thanks for the extras they made me smile on a long day. That pencil case is absolute perfection, especially given that I swear like a sailor (much to my husband‘s chagrin)! Did you make the bookmark? Is it from a Patrick Rothfuss book?
pickThis is such an interesting read. In the 60s a group of four women invent time travel. After a few trips one has a mental breakdown and is hospitalized. From there we jump around in time to other characters‘ POV and look at how the Time Conclave stigmatizes mental health issues. There‘s also a murder mystery? Could be uncomfortable read if triggered by bad opinions of mental health, but the author is a psychologist so the topics are in good hands
so-soThis book was just okay to me. I could tell it was a debut novel and I found the writing to be uninteresting and very young adult. I did still give this one a 3/5 stars, but probably would have DNF‘d it if it wasn‘t for #lmpbc.
A note for those reading the book after me: the binding is very loose at the bottom of the book. It seems that no matter how I held the book, pages started popping out. Be careful!
@catiewithac Thank you for an amazing swap box! The T-shirt and tote bag are so nice and warrant their own photo shoot. The wrapping paper was so pretty (wild flower seeds, whaaat). I like the range of books you picked, too and am looking forward to reading all of them! And this was the box that kept on giving with the cards, goodies, and beeswax wrappers (which I've been wanting to try). Thank you! #sits #staycationintimeswap @Chrissyreadit
panI was quite disappointed. The concept is good - brilliant women scientists pioneer a method of time travel. The biggest problem for me was the lack of time travel. Instead The story revolves around the wooden characters with a meandering plot line. Blah. But the cover design is nice.
pickI won't say too much since this is my book for #LMPBC. I've seen mixed reviews, but I liked it. I like books with switching points of view and different timelines, so it worked for me. It was also nice to read a book with a diverse, mostly female cast of characters. I'll get this sent to you tomorrow @collegecatlady
pickGreat addition to the time travel/sci-fi genre. Through an almost all female cast, Mascarenhas delivers a brilliant and page turning murder mystery with a squad of female scientists, queer romance, and beautiful tales of ambition, betrayal and love.

New Book! Time travel is now possible but it comes with many mysteries and drawbacks. This novel traces the arc of the 4 women pioneers as they travel throughout time and wrestle with their places both in and out of their respective timelines. This is a mystery of a murder that hasn't happened yet and what that means to time travel.
so-soI went into this with high expectations based on recommendations, but sadly it didn't really work for me. I found the first half pedestrian - the prose style kept me distanced from the characters and made the events seem reported (and not in a particularly interesting way) - so I found it rather frustrating. I became more engaged in the second half, but it never entirely won me over. Some really interesting thoughts on time travel tho!
Late breakfast getting started. Liking this book so far... Just the fact that a story based on science has only female main characters is great :)
Has anyone else been having trouble with goodreads lately? It takes forever for things like “my books” to load. And when I try and pull up lists (I use the YA of whatever year list pretty heavily) it often doesn‘t load my rating if I‘ve read the book. Or other lists won‘t load the visual of the average rating. It‘s little things, but it‘s driving me batty. I‘m noticing it on both mobile and my laptop.
1. I still keep in touch with friends from high school and college. Friends where you pick up right where you left off. ❤️
2. Sorry guys- I‘m not an early riser! 🌙
3. The smell of dry pine needles always makes me think fondly of church summer camp! 🌲

so-soGreat ideas, but not well executed.
All of the main characters were women, and this could have been so good. Sadly, the prose style was so plain as to be dull, and I just did not care about what was going to happen.
pickI loved this book! How do you deal with the psychology of time travel? The flexibility of concepts of death, predetermination and how the past and future impact each other? Dealing with mental illness, heartbreak, jealousy, grief, revenge… our protagonists learn that there is a whole lot more to jumping through time than just science and paradox. It is an amazing story that will tickle your fancy and tug at your heartstrings.
pickJust finished reading this. Was a very different Sci-fi read which I thoroughly enjoyed ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐⭐️
I went to the Elise Kova and Danielle Jensen signing in Calgary tonight. I got my entire Elise Kova library signed and picked up a few new books at the store. Game plan for tomorrow? GOING TO DETECTIVE PIKACHU!
pickI was entertained, though honestly, it‘s all a jumble in my head! 🤷🏻♀️😂
Might squeeze in a couple of pages of my new book before I fall asleep ... 😴
1) Saturday - get a lay in and the knowledge you still have another day before the daily grind starts again
2) At the mo it's George Ezra but so many Annie Lennox, Alisha's Attic, Elton John, Take That....
3) Conference on ending Gang & Youth Violence
4) tagged 📚

so-soA murder mystery with time travellers intermingling, maybe interfering is a better word, with the lives of people. The characters are well written and there is intrigue that kept me reading. I liked that the chapters were from different characters, this kept a good pace to thw story. There was something missing though and I haven't quite put my finger on it yet....

Here are a couple of time travel books that I really enjoyed. One is the start to a romance/mystery series. I only read the first book.
The other is a sci-fi time travel book that has a lot of POVs, switches between 2 timelines and is set around a mystery. This is the tagged book and it was really enjoyable!

so-soAt the end of the day, I'm glad that I read this. Although I enjoyed the story, there were simply too many plot holes and poorly explained twists for me to wholeheartedly recommend this book to others. I'd call it entertaining, but not great.
Spent the day with my mom and sister today - Mexican food, pedicures, and TJ Maxx (where I got this super cute mug); then went to the LEGO movie with my son and husband. Now it‘s solo chill time with a book and some cinnamon tea (and, though not pictured, Chloe - she‘s on the floor playing with my hair elastic that she stole).
Today‘s library #bookhaul - TBR “B” authors plus two books from the new shelf. Pictured with what I ate for lunch at 3:00 today because it‘s been that kind of week at work. 😆 🍨
pickWell, this was pretty awesome! I love the mental gymnastics time travel stories demand of their readers & the not entirely unpleasant sensation of your mind happily boggling away at paradoxes, impossibilities & fantastically plausible concepts. This book has a plethora of female characters, a non gratuitous bittersweet same sex romance, a murder mystery & lashings of engrossing twists & turns. A lot of thought provoking notions about death ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Review here: https://lostnagoodbook.wordpress.com/2019/02/11/the-psychology-of-time-travel-ka...
Traversing the decades and told from alternating perspectives, The Psychology of Time Travel introduces a fabulous new voice in fiction and a new must-read for fans of speculative fiction and is a a mind-bending, time-travel debut.
pickMurder mystery, time travel, groundbreaking female scientists—I am 120% on board with this book. The beginning dragged a bit—too much announcing that things had happened rather than letting the story unfold. Luckily that faded once the mystery got going and the timelines more convoluted. It's a good and twisty story, with interesting questions about how you might feel about death when you're constantly visiting past and future selves and (con't)
Tonight's read with thanks to #netgalley for this book.

so-soTime Travel is a thing, but is it a good thing? And what does it do to those involved? This delves into this concept and explores power, ego, how they end up viewing life and death, and what control do you really have.
The start was a bit rocky, and it really took a bit for me to really get into the story.
Thanks to NetGalley for a copy in exchange for an unbiased review.

1) Teleport!

3) Nah, not keen on them. Told myself I'd do ALL the things in 2019, anyway. 😂
4) I don't even have Netflix 😕😂 Norsemen is on top of the list rn, but tbh I don't know if it's a Netflix or HBO-show. Or something else 🤔 edit: it's available on Netflix 😂

I am uncontrollably excited about this one. Kiwi just wants to sleep. 😂
pickThis book was really good. It wasn‘t too heavy and scientific when talking about time travel. So knowing nothing about science, I wasn‘t ever lost. There are a lot of jumping from different point of views and timelines, but I was never lost or confused. The story seemed to flow well even though there was so many alternating timelines. I like how at one point in the story or the other, all the characters were connected.

pickThis woman-led time travel murder mystery has many charms, its exploration of the psychological and (corporate) cultural impacts of time travel, its glossary of time travel slang, its twists and turns, but most of all, this novel has true, red-blooded women at its core, women of diverse color and sexuality capable not only of inventing time travel but of reinvention, regret, revenge, love, sacrifice, cruelty, the running of corporations, and more.
pick
This is a fascinating, rich novel of intrigue and wonder. Written with a beautiful and timely prose and message this speculative fiction and murder mystery at its best.
Get This Feb 2019.
