Time Travel Surprise in the Mail

Look what I got in the mail?

The thing is, I don't remembering ordering it or winning it, but I did stroke it wistfully when I was last at the book store.

I'm so stoked to read it.

Why? Because it's a YA Time Travel book. And it's written by the German author Kerstin Gier.

I love Time Travel and Germany. Double win.

Also, you may or may not know this, but I write YA Time Travel. Have been since before it started trending, so of course, I'm curious.

This book is doing super well with lots of buzz everywhere. Plus the cover is fantastic! So can't wait to read this.

Thanks Mail Faerie!!

  5. VERY cool! I read a review of this book somewhere recently... was it here? It seems like it wasn't. Maybe that's how you got it? OH!!! It was Elana Johnson! ...I'm pretty sure. (Ring any bells?)

    In other news, I'd love to hear what you think. It sounds like a great book~ :o) <3

  8. LTM- Yes, Elana talked about it. I'd already seen it in the store and heard other buzz by then, but it made me want to read it even more.

    Juanita - I know you have great taste in books so it must be true! I heard it's the first of three. Wonder when the second one is out.

  16. The cover is indeed magnificent - I imagine it feels and smells like a great read!
    I wish you much pleasure and enjoyment as you turn the pages.

    Like Lydia K (above) I am dealing with two books (by Stephen Hunter) and a few technical book that must be tackled before September.

    Don't hesitate to write up a little teaser as you make you way into it - it may very well be on my Fall list if you give it the thumbs up!

    Cheers, Jenny
