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! 5d
Centique Thanks for showing me your version! I love that art style too 😍 5d
LeahBergen @Centique I hope you find it! Buddy read? 😄 5d
Centique @LeahBergen definitely! Fingers crossed! 5d

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 2w

AlaMich I also recommend this one by Neal Stephenson and Nicole Galland. It‘s a bit of a chunkster but worth it. (edited) 2w
LeahBergen I have a copy of the tagged book! I must get to it soon! 2w
julesG @AlaMich the audiobook of D.O.D.O. is good 2w
AlaMich @julesG I know! I listened and read the print edition. Have you read the sequel? (edited) 2w
julesG @AlaMich Yes. Like you, book+audiobook. 2w
Centique @Luke-XVX I remember it being so good, I must re-read it! 2w
Centique @AlaMich @julesG I have that on my TBR but I must move it up! I will look for the audiobook. 2w
Centique @LeahBergen oh wow! I only found out it was also a book yesterday. I will look for a copy too 😍 2w
Centique @Dragon ooh that looks really good too! I have such a good TBR of time travel books now 🙌 2w
Dragon I think you‘re going to enjoy it. I just finished another time travel book that I enjoyed 2w

4.5⭐️ I really liked the book, but I didn‘t really enjoy the Molly sections as much as the Vivian sections simply because I felt that Molly was a little too fiesty for my taste. #2025 #bookreview #historicalfiction #reread #fiction

Such a great read! It was on my TBR forever and I‘m so glad I finally got to it, and a little mad at myself for waiting so long to read it.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
This poor girl had to endure so much at a young age. Heartbreaking but well written and intriguing story that will stick with me for awhile.❤️
