Timeless by Alexandra Monir (debut novel!)
I have this kind of fascination with romances involving time travel. Well, specifically time travel into the 1800s and early 1900s. One of my favorite YA books from when I was 13, Out of Time, deals with this kind of travel, so when I read about this book, I was immediately intrigued. It comes out today (well, technically yesterday by the time I finish writing this) so if you are a sucker for impossible love stories, you should check it out. I've already heard good things about Monir's writing. I especially admire period pieces when they are done well, when research is done correctly and there is a great attention to detail. My only gripe so far is that this is the first in a series. I know series books are quite popular right now, but I'm not the biggest fan - mostly because I am so impatient. I loath waiting.
A free sample of the book has already been downloaded onto Marv (my Kindle. Aw, another reason why I love this nifty e reader), so when I can find time to start reading a new project, I will absolutely dive into this. But who knows when that will be. Currently, I am stuck in the world of 19th century poetry and am supposed to be finishing a paper on Mont Blanc as I sit here procrastinating. . . I should probably get to that.
For your amusement, here is the trailer to the 1980 movie, Somewhere in Time. Oh, 80s, how you make me laugh.
I love how the announcer sounds bored as hell as he describes this movie.
