42 -- Time In The Title
One Summer America 1927, by Bill Bryson
This Time Next Year by Sophie Cousens
A Rip Through Time by Kelley Armstrong https://cdnbookworm.blogspot.com/2023...This book has time travel, mystery, and is the start of a new series.
Just finished reading "Doctor Who: Time Lord Fairy Tales". 15 short stories, classical fairy tales rewritten with a Doctor Who twist. Amusing, exciting, relaxing, romantic and sometimes a real page turner.
One Night on the Island by Josie Silver
I have several on my TBR list that fit this category:The Secret of the Old Clock (the first Nanacy Drew book)
Endurance: My Year in Space, a Lifetime of Discovery by Scott Kelly
A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking
Spirals in Time: The Secret Life and Curious Afterlife of Seashells
The Three-Year Swim Club: The Untold Story of Maui's Sugar Ditch Kids and Their Quest for Olympic Glory
The Fire Next Time by James Baldwin
I have chosen The Night Travelers by Armando Lucas Correa. This could also be used as a survival story or a book with a funeral. I think it would be possible to use it as a book with a refugee as Lilith was sent to Cuba to escape the Nazi’s in Germany.
A Hero of Our Time or Time Machine
I read Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow. It fits in several prompts, but for now I put it here. 5 stars!!!
I read Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky -- I'd been meaning to read it for a while, and though I can't say it's my favourite of his novels it was an interesting read.
I have just finished “A Zero Waste Family: in Thirty Days” by Anita Vandyke. As the title suggests, it is a guide on how each family can adopt zero-waste principles in how they live day-to-day. Rather than being didactic and preachy, it is gentle and encouraging, yet full of really good and simple ideas. I wrote a review of it on my “read” book shelf.
I'm reading The Child In Time by Ian McEwan, and I'm already loving it.
The Child In Time by Ian McEwan. Beautiful prose. A good book, just wasn't my cup of tea.
Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Japanese author Toshikazu Kawaguchi is a time-travel novel where people visit a café in Tokoyo which enables them to return to the past. A series of short stories feature different people who choose to travel to revisit a lost love, a departed sibling, or even an unborn child. Here is my review
Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals by Oliver Burkeman
Very different than what I expected. I think it's making me look at things from a different perspective. 5 stars
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon
It was a bit slow at first but in the end I liked it. 3/5
I read Elizabeth Keckley’s memoir Behind the Scenes: Or, Thirty Years a Slave, and Four Years in the White House.
Angela wrote: "One Summer America 1927, by Bill Bryson"Fantastic book! One of my favorite authors
I read Peach Blossom Spring by Melissa Fu.
Today I finished The Time Traveler's Wife. I give it 4/5 stars.
Is. Beyond a time frame ?
Last Night at the Lobster by Stewart O’Nan.
This might be a bit of a stretch, but I am using it anyway. I am using The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton for this prompt. Age being used as era or time period.
The City of Time and Magic by Paula Brackston.

This title-based prompt is all about time! This could be as simple as picking a book with the actual word “time” in the title, but could also feature any word that acts as a unit of time or describes time. Some book titles might also write out time in numeric form, for example: The 6:20 Man by David Baldacci.
Examples of time related words: seconds, hour, minute, week, day, month, year, midnight, noon, yesterday, today, tomorrow, eon, era, decade, century, dusk, dawn, evening, morning etc.
As with all our title related prompts, this could also apply to a subtitle or the title of a series.
