Lloyd Alexander was definitely a fan of cats

Time Cat: The Remarkable Journeys of Jason and Gareth by Lloyd Alexander

by 4 Comments

Growing up I adored Lloyd Alexander for the Prydain Chronicles and the Vesper Holly series.  Fun side note, I suggested Vesper as a name for our second daughter because of loving Vesper Holly and how well Eva Green carried it in Casino Royale but it was nixed by my SO. Time Cat floated around in my awareness but for some reason I never picked it up.  Perhaps because the copies in my library had an atrocious cover.  The one on the right would definitely have […]

Teenagers can still be bratty, even when they’re immortal

In the Garden of Iden by Kage Baker

by 1 Comment

This sounded like an interesting take on time travel, and there was a kernel of a cool idea in there. Sometime in the future, time travel is invented, but it only works in very limited ways: you can’t go to the future, you can’t change recorded history, etc. So the super-rich company that invented it also invents immortality, which also comes with rules: it only works when you catch a human very young and adaptable. So, they start sending operatives into the past to ‘recruit’ […]

The Time Museum V01 by Matthew Loux

by Leave a Comment

The Time Museum has been on the TBR list for a while now. I finally got around to picking it up after it fell on the floor (after all, it was in my hand). I went at this book without a lot of pre-knowledge other than Matthew Loux had a book that had a girl in it, there was going to be some science fiction by the looks of things and was probably funny as the cover image did not look a 100% serious. I […]

All the Time Travel in the World Can’t Save the People You Love

Opposite of Always by Justin A. Reynolds

This book by Justin Reynolds was a Kindle deal a while back (and ironically it is on sale again this week so perfect timing) and I found it a charming read to keep me occupied as I journeyed home from Puerto Rico (and tried not to think about all the cold and grey weather awaiting me). From the very beginning of the novel, I realized it was not going to be a typical teen romance because the first sentence is this:  “My face is mashed […]

Ye’ll maybe find a use for yourself.

Seven Stones to Stand or Fall by Diana Gabaldon

by Leave a Comment

Many of the book series that I enjoy have novellas or short stories available electronically. I’m not a Kindle person so I generally end up missing out on these smaller literary nuggets that explore secondary characters or flesh out backstories. I bought this when it was published over two years ago, but allowed it to languish on my TBR pile until now. Outlander books take preparation. They are heavy tomes and I need to be ready to brew a cup of tea and snuggle up for a […]
