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! 3d

Centique Thanks for showing me your version! I love that art style too 😍 3d

LeahBergen @Centique I hope you find it! Buddy read? 😄 3d

Centique @LeahBergen definitely! Fingers crossed! 3d

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 2w

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.

(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?

Master of the Revels: A Return to Neal Stephenson's D.O.D.O.

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

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.❤️

Orphan Train: A Novel | Christina Baker Kline

An incredibly interesting read, based on true events though with fictional characters, and one that truly felt like someone telling their story. Reading it very much felt true in that way where maybe these exact people weren‘t real but everything that happened to them almost certainly happened to someone. I highly recommend it, though if you‘re prone to tears I recommend keeping tissue nearby.
