Time Travel discussion

Sorry! I am still not used to going back to monthly book club reads and so I am very late posting nominations for August. I’m trying!

So….post your nominations for August!

No self nominations.

Here is a link to books already read by the group:

On the GR newsletter, there is a post about 60 scifi and fantasy books by genre.

There are six time travel books under Timey Wimey Tales. I think two books the group has read but four of them we haven’t. Not sure if any of these would be of interest to include on the poll:

This Is How You Lose the Time War
The Vanished Birds
One Day All This Will Be Yours
Now, Then, and Everywhen

The book by Rysa Walker, "Now, Then, and Everywhen" is a prequel to a series of books "Chronos series" of which we read the first book "TimeBound" in a past group read a few years ago. But according to some folks, it helps to have read the older Chronos series that this is a prequel of due to "reverse revelations" of older characters' past lives. Just thought I point that out!

I have been meaning to read the (short) This Is How You Lose the Time War so I'll nominate it.

Thank you, Tej, for the note about NTaE.

I'll nominate again A shortcut in time by Charles Dickinson. Maybe it will win this time.

I created a poll since it is getting close to the end of the month. I added two books from GR’s Timey Wimey Tales post. I did not include the origin story (Now, Then, and Everywhen) since the group already read a book from that universe.

Happy voting!

H..." I love A Shortcut in Time, but too many major plot holes

Hello, I am a new member and the author of 'Chronoscape'. I would like to nominate 'The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August' by Catherine Webb for the monthly book club

Not just because the nominations are for August. It's a very good book.

We read that in 2014.

Sorry, I just found the list of books you've already read.

Just finished the 2 Nick jones books, revised from some earlier editions/formats. And Then She Vanished is now Book 1 in the Series. I liked it and it treats some typical issues a bit differently. Ray Porter reads audiobook, so Jones automatically gets brownie points there. Group might enjoy.

Because I will forget by the time September's suggestions come around can I add this to a future suggestion (it was just released 7/30/21): The Timepiece and the Girl Who Went Astray: A thrilling new time travel adventure
O.R. Simmonds? I just read a blurb about it and it sounded interesting. " A lovable everyman leads a page-turning, decade-vaulting jaunt through London’s past and present... Witty dialogue bring a lightness to the story that will appeal to readers who don’t ordinarily read heady time-travel fiction." Publisher's Weekly/Booklife

Maybe I should get the September thread up before I forget!
