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! 1d

Centique Thanks for showing me your version! I love that art style too 😍 1d

LeahBergen @Centique I hope you find it! Buddy read? 😄 1d

Centique @LeahBergen definitely! Fingers crossed! 23h

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.

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

Wrong Place, Wrong Time

Centique @Dragon ooh that looks really good too! I have such a good TBR of time travel books now 🙌 1w

Heartbreaker (Sweet Valley High #8) | Francine Pascal

The nostalgia! My mom came across my collection of SVH and sent them home with me. I intend to donate them to my kiddos classroom library, but I am going to enjoy them for a few days first.

Ruthiella Sweet! 4w

Another book down for my kids‘ fantasy book club at the library. I think they‘re going to love this one. Clear sentences, a shorter page length, whimsical illustrations, and some higher thinking about cruelty vs. kindness & how to manage deep emotions (anxiety, loneliness, abandonment, loss) make it an appealing & balanced book.

At the end of each meeting, we always make corner bookmarks. This time, it‘s twirly, leafy Green Man mustaches. 🍃

AlaMich It‘s a charming cover! 3mo

Clare-Dragonfly What a fun book club! 3mo

Jessica's Bad Idea | Francine Pascal, Jamie Suzanne

pick

Shy, awkward Sandra Ferris comes to Casa Wakefield to hang out with Saint Liz. Jess is mostly annoyed by her presence but decides to give her a makeover, & soon comes to regret it. Sandra goes from wallflower to super popular overnight & even decides to run against Jess for 6th grade citizen of the year. Has Jess created a monster? So fun as always. 4⭐️

JenlovesJT47 @TorieStorieS yes it was! I had some choice words for Sandra (in my head of course) as I was reading this one lol. Was totally on Jess‘s side for this one! 😆 3mo

The Tunnel of Hugsy Goode (The Alley, #2) | Eleanor Estes

pick

I was delighted to pick up this lovely hardcover/library discard edition of this book, which is the sequel to The Alley. Both written and set about 8 years after the original story, the main character is one of the younger siblings of The Alley's characters. This one was a little more implausible, but still a super fun story and one that I would have LOVED as a kid. These are both fabulous read-aloud books and as cute as they can be.

Snuggle Buddies | Courtney Carbone

Last night was one of our favourite school events of the year! Every year, they host a Snuggle Up and Read evening. Everyone comes to the school in their pajamas, and there are all sorts of literacy focused events throughout the school. It's the most cozy form of chaos, and the kids LOVE it!

Jari-chan What a wonderful idea❤️ 4mo

Elizabeth befriends the new exchange student from Santa Dora, Arthur Castle. She learns he is really the crown prince of Santa Dora but he doesn‘t want anyone to know & swears Liz to secrecy. He just wants to be a normal kid for a few weeks. Meanwhile, Jess finds out & spills the beans to the Unicorns, & soon the whole school knows. He is convinced Liz told everybody & won‘t speak to her. Jess finally fesses up in the end & they all make up, & ⬇️

JenlovesJT47 He takes them to a fancy ball at the consulate. This one was cute & Arthur shows up again later in SVH, gotta love the continuity. 4⭐️ #SweetValley #SweetValleyTwins #SVT #twins #nostalgia 👯‍♀️ 4mo

Here‘s the missing page 14! Let me know if you need any other pages, @JenlovesJT47 — this is a good one!

JenlovesJT47 Thank you so much!!! 🤗🤗🤓 4mo

JenlovesJT47 Omg the level of secondhand embarrassment here 😅😅😅. You‘d think Lila could have gotten some fancy stuff from a bakery or something! 4mo

TorieStorieS @JenlovesJT47 Anytime! And yes— Lila had cookies fedexed from Switzerland in

TorieStorieS @JenlovesJT47 So you would think she could have been less cringey here!! 🤣 (edited) 4mo

JenlovesJT47 I love the camp series in SVH where she and her rich boyfriend Beau constantly have caviar and other fancy foods helicoptered into camp 😂😂😂 4mo

TorieStorieS @JenlovesJT47 Lila has always been one of my favorite characters since I was little! 4mo

JenlovesJT47 Same! Can‘t wait to read SVU! 4mo

TorieStorieS @JenlovesJT47 She gets some really fun storylines there! I can‘t believe I‘m getting close to finishing SVT! I think I‘m going to keep going into the Jr High ones next to give me a little more time to try and track down those last couple Unicorn Club books… Plus, it‘s been fun reading all of these new-to-me SVTs and that whole series will be new for me too! 4mo

JenlovesJT47 Sounds like a good idea! I‘ve only read the first JY book but it‘s very similar to SY, with a more realistic and linear timeline. 4mo

TorieStorieS @JenlovesJT47 More realistic?! I guess that‘s why it didn‘t run for very long… I guess there won‘t be any more crumbling mansions on the edge of town with haunted pasts, hahahaha! 4mo
