I just remembered to pull this off my shelves, @Centique , after I mentioned it on your time travel post. This is the American edition; does it look like it matches the ‘70s TV show at all? 😄

Centique Oh yes it does! In the show it is all because of the mirror she finds at her cousins house I think? I am going to a secondhand bookshop next week that specialises in children‘s books so I am going to look for this! 12h

Centique Thanks for showing me your version! I love that art style too 😍 12h

LeahBergen @Centique I hope you find it! Buddy read? 😄 9h

Centique @LeahBergen definitely! Fingers crossed! 6h

Come Back, Lucy | Pamela Sykes

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

Centique And then there are the kids time travel books like

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.

LeahBergen I have a copy of the tagged book! I must get to it soon! 1w

julesG @AlaMich the audiobook of D.O.D.O. is good 1w

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.

julesG @AlaMich Yes. Like you, book+audiobook. 1w

Centique @Luke-XVX I remember it being so good, I must re-read it! 1w

Centique @AlaMich @julesG I have that on my TBR but I must move it up! I will look for the audiobook. 1w

Centique @LeahBergen oh wow! I only found out it was also a book yesterday. I will look for a copy too 😍 1w

Dragon I also liked

#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 🥳 4w

#BookHaul! I couldn‘t resist the NYRB children‘s book sale, and I #blameitonlitsy—specifically @TheBookHippie 😁

I‘m so excited about these! Three of them I‘ve been wanting to read for a while, and the Rumer Godden also sounded SO good—I justified buying it in order to get the maximum discount. Of course. 😆📚💜

TheBookHippie 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I got 8 and wrapped them for my birthday next week 👀🎉🤣 4w

BarbaraJean @TheBookHippie 😂😂😂 Yesss!! 🎉📚🎂🥳🎁Happy Birthday to you!!! 4w

dabbe Oh, I love these! I also loved when it was Scholastic book delivery day. I was able to create quite a young adult literature in-class library for my middle-schoolers thanks to them! 💚💜💚 4w

John the Skeleton | Triinu Laan

This was good. John the skeleton lives with Gramps and Grams and spends his time keeping busy with his housemates. However, when one of them dies, he is there to keep the other one company as best as he can. Great illustrations and interesting story.
