This time of year I always take a few days to scour our local library book sale but I just didn't have the time this year to go. Today was the last day and I made the time 😊

Selection was incredibly limited, which was disappointing, but I did manage to fill a bag for $5.

Now to find the space....😨

A Regency-era man is presumed dead in the Napoleonic war but has actually time-travelled 200 years into the future. Hmm... this might be a fun read. Has anyone read it?

alisonrose I haven't but I've seen it on many Booktubers' shelves in the background of their videos - so it's popular, at least 😁 7y

Time travel! Romance! Suspense! I really enjoyed this very unusual and fascinating story. I hear there is a prequel, but I am now in the club of those who want a sequel!

Throwback to lunch last week. Shortly thereafter I finished this wonderful adventure of a non-traditional romance. Time travel, two warring factions, the tensions involved, the conflict, the breathless anticipation, and the ending. I can't say much more, because I do not want to give it away. I am glad I tried it. #Romantsy #timetravel 😊💙

EloisaJames I love this book too! I'm finally reading A Discovery of Witches--not dissimilar. 7y

Don't let the insane amount of time it took me to read this deter you -- I've been in a slump. This is a delicious read -- one cover blurb called it "...the love child of Jane Austen and Doctor Who", and I can't think of a more perfect description. In turns sharp, mysterious, beguiling, and nostalgic, and like life, with no clear conclusion -- but all the better for it.
