Time Travel discussion

Some of these are actually from October, but oh well.

I absolutely loved the collection All Worlds are Real: Short Fictions by Susan Palwick. The anthology Parallel Worlds: The Heroes Within was hit or miss for me, but seems like it'd be great for the right reader.

I'm going to be reading the anthology Continuum: French Science Fiction Short Stories and the novel Starplex by Robert J. Sawyer (one of my favorites) shortly for other groups.

Just finished the Newbery book When You Reach Me. Still pondering it. The author is clearly a fan of A Wrinkle in Time and thinks that everybody should read and be familiar with it. She also apparently defines it as a Time Travel book. I'm not so sure.

This definitely is Time Travel. But not SF. There's no explanation of a mechanism or means at all. And it's more about themes, like of the different shapes friendship can take, and who's a hero or who's a villain, and even a smidge of racial injustice. I do recommend to intelligent youth and adults who know that kids' books can be interesting.

I Liked it.

I am planning on reading: Beware the Midnight Train by our Anna Faversham and The Rules of Time Travel advanced reader copy from L.A. Birchon The Rules of Time Travel: A heart-warming adventure about second chances, found family, and hope against the odds

I hope you enjoy them both, Lizz.

I really enjoyed L.A. Birchon's The Rules of Time Travel: A romcom about second chances and great coffee Some of the time paradox theories were thrown out the window but that was helpful for the overall plot. I wouldn't say it was a romcom or second chances of a romantic type but certainly both played a central role.

Sounds like fun!

The Accidental Time Travelers Collective, Volume 2 is free today on Amazon. I might squeeze it in by the end of the month as well. It might be good for my short attention span around Thanksgiving.

Good idea!

I just gave 4 stars to A Time Traveler's Theory of Relativity. Intense. Even though the characters are only 12, I can't say I disagree with my library for shelving it YA. Also enjoyable, engaging, and satisfying. I'd consider reading a sequel if there is one (there could be).

"All through history there were stories of good people, decent people, joining together to become a giant unstoppable force. People who would eventually regret what they had done in the name of whatever they called themselves. What were his neighbors capable of doing under that name?"

"Nobody is normal.... If you'd take the time to talk to anyone you'd see that. Everyone has something they're trying to figure out."

Thanks Cheryl for the review. I was considering reading that one and I will put on my want to read list.

I dnf'd The Book of Doors at p. 69. Much more about the sinister characters and their evil plot than about traveling to different worlds.

Thank's for the update Cheryl. I will move it down my list. This was on my Want to Read list.
