I"m sorry you didn't like Timebound :(

But so happy you liked the rest! Wasn't Kindred so interesting? And Magonia was written so beautifully...the sequel is just as good!

Thanks for the picks Jenny! I wanted to like Timebound so badly but yeah, just wasn't for me. Still, I'm glad you picked it because I'd had a copy for probably 3 years now and hadn't read it.

Kindred was really interesting and it was interesting to see how even the "modern" part now looks so different 40 years on.

I have the Magonia sequel on hold at the library and should get it this coming week. (As to when I finally read it...well....)

I finally finished my last book, The Queen of the Tearling (The Queen of the Tearling, #1) by Erika Johansen and I absolutely LOVED this one, 5 stars! Very awesome start to a fantasy series, I'm looking forward to reading the rest!
