I didn't have to go very far for romance book recommendations before I found two book reviews that immediately grabbed my attention.
Since I don't normally read time travel books, I am really excited to venture into this new area. After all, I am still amazed that the Hunger Games trilogy fed my romantic books appetite. So, why not time travel too?
Now I ask you, who wouldn't want to travel back in time and experience a heart pounding romance?
The Time Traveler's Wife
The Time Traveler's WifeCheck PriceTanjaCrouch wrote the movie review for The Time Traveler's Wife, but while reviewing the movie, she also reviewed and recommended the book.
When I read her words, "You can feel the love between Clare and Henry which makes some of the scenes truly heartbreaking", I knew I had to read this book.
Couple that with the idea of meeting your future husband when you are a child and waiting to grow up so you can meet him, well now that is just too romantic!
Fortunately, I will be traveling with my husband and he is accustomed to seeing me cry over books.
Outlander
Outlander: A Novel (Outlander, Book 1)Check PriceLNAngel captured my attention and intrigued me immediately with the title of her review: Outlander: The Only Book Series I Can Read Again & Again. When someone tells me they can read a book over and over again, I know it has to be a fabulous book.I also like history and I love a book that takes place in the past, especially if it is historically correct.
Ok, a married woman finding love and romance through time travel? I don't know what to think at the moment, but I was so impressed with LNAngel's review that I have ordered the book for my Kindle and I will be reading it very soon.
I loved Time Travelers wife. I am sure you will too.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading the review, I am really looking forward to reading it Mary Beth! I am having to slap my own hand to not pick it up and read it before we leave :)
DeleteI must read "The Time Traveler's Wife." It's not often that I see someone spell "Clare" correctly! Great list of books, Cynthia! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThe reviews were definitely inviting! I am always amazed by the different ways people spell names. I am sure you have seen number of variations for Cindy. (used to drive me nuts!)
DeleteA vacation just isn't a vacation without a few books to enjoy every day. These sound like perfect choices. I'm headed over to read the reviews. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI agree! I absolutely must have my books!
DeleteWhile I have not read the book, I surely enjoyed The Time Traveler's Wife as a movie.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen the movie Ruth. Now I want to do both! Read the book and see the movie.
DeleteOh, now I have some new books to add to my list! These are great reviews - everyone should review at least one favorite book on Squidoo.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! Squidoo definitely offers the easiest writing platform on the web for book reviews.
DeleteThe book Time Travelers Wife was awesome as well as the movie! I loved both. I have not read Outlander,
ReplyDeleteyet!
I have neither read nor seen either books or movies, but I am definitely looking forward to doing both
DeleteRead one and listened to the audio for the other. I must admit that The Outlander is much too long to listen to in the unabridged version. Good choices for romance!
ReplyDeleteI used to listen to books on tape when I drove to work every day. They are fabulous alternatives when you can't actually focus on reading, but you want the entertainment of a good book.
DeleteDiana Gabaldon is one of my favorite writers. I haven't read her books in years--maybe it's time to re-read!
ReplyDeleteIt is so very cool to have so many trusted friends recommend an author! I have never read any of Gabaldon's books so it will be a first for me. Knowing that she is one of your favorites Charli, really encourages me.
