Paris Adrift is probably the best time travel book I’ve read so far this decade. I don’t often say things like this, but it gripped me. I must check out the other time related books I got from Storybundle in
Book Review | Paris Adrift by E J Swift
Flashback Fiction #writephoto | Lambent
Lambent is the title Sue Vincent gave her #writephoto prompt this week in 2020. It refers to the quality of light in the stunning photo she’s chosen. I’m doing some Flashback fiction at present, and this one brought back many
Desk | #writephoto Flash Fiction
Desk was provided as a prompt last March (2023), so I thought I’d slip it in here. It’s from the writephoto meme by KL Caley at New2Writing.com, but unfortunately KL is on hiatus. I have recently discovered that my neck
Book Review | Extremophile: Violet Rain (Unwinding #2)
Extremophile is the second in the series called The Unwinding by Juliana Rew. The first one I read, Unwinding is subtitled Gin’s story. I didn’t realise it was a series at the time. A couple of months ago I discovered
Book Reviews | Time Quintet 4 and 5
The Time Quintet is the general series name for A Wrinkle in Time and its successors by Madeleine L’Engle. Published from 1962 through to the late 1980s, they were considered masterpieces of juvenile time-related fiction. They escaped me entirely. As
Book Review | Feathers of the Phoenix: the Atlantean Horse
Feathers of the Phoenix is a new series from the wonderful Cheryl Carpinello. The Atlantean Horse is book 1, and the story suggests a search for five feathers in all! I already had this on my TBR, but was delighted
Book Review | The Last Saxon King
The Last Saxon King was a book I got from NetGalley in September. I’m not entirely sure why, except it involves time travel. It took me a while to read it as I stopped for several weeks early on. Not
Alley to the Past | #writephoto Flash Fiction
Alley to the Past came out of today’s #writephoto offering from KL Caley at New2Writing.com. I felt like I’d walked down this alley before. After a couple of days, I worked out where it was in my memory, and set
Book Review | This is How You Lose the Time War
This is How You Lose the Time War. It sounds so intriguing, and I’d heard great things of it. And of course, I had to add it to my list for the Spacetime reading challenge! This is How You Lose
Book Reviews | Shadows from the Past Catch-up
Shadows from the Past is the amazingly wonderful time-travelling series for middle grade readers from Wendy Leighton-Porter. And much loved by adults like me! Especially if you like cats, or reluctant heros, or any combination of these things. I caught
Book Review | The Psychology of Time Travel
The Psychology of Time Travel attracted my eye the first time I heard about it. I’m just glad I found a copy of it in the library. It contributes to my SpaceTime Reading Challenge, of course, as well as my
Book Review | The Shadow of the Witchfinder
The Shadow of the Witchfinder – book 15 in Wendy Leighton-Porter’s marvellous Shadows from the Past series. 15, you ask? Well, since the last one I reviewed Wendy has inserted Max’s novellas into the sequence. That means I have not
Book Review | I, Mona Lisa @natashasolomons
I, Mona Lisa – a netgalley book that I couldn’t resist. The Mona Lisa telling her own story – the painting itself? How would that work? Brilliantly, as it turns out! A great addition to my Alphabet Soup Reading Challenge,
Antique | #writephoto Flash Fiction
Antique–a great #writephoto prompt from KL Caley at New2Writing.com, but one that puzzled me. I’ve done a good number of stories with antiques with weird, supernatural or cursed properties. What could I do that was different? This. And it’s just
MG Book Review | Two Magical Series @Malia_Ann #TimeQuintet
Two magical series feature in this month’s review catch-up: The Chase Tinker series and the Time Quintet. Actually, I’m not sure I should speak of magic in relation to the Time Quintet, but fabulous beasts are involved, so I will.
