Time travel is not a genre of books that I'm naturally drawn to or would have listed as a favorite reading topic. After thinking about it I realized that many books I've loved have fallen in this category. Books by E. Nesbit and Madeleine L'Engle come to mind. <br />I'm ready to expand my horizons.On My Head and Readinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04246639750682837369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4989928376595084149.post-51233814640449483402011-12-22T16:30:21.066-05:002011-12-22T16:30:21.066-05:00I love time travel so was happy to find this chall...I love time travel so was happy to find this challenge!Debbie Rodgershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15630059470408161434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4989928376595084149.post-27222844431435068172011-12-22T13:12:17.104-05:002011-12-22T13:12:17.104-05:00Excited to give this a whirl.

My sentiments exactly! Fo...@ Don't Call Me Dave<br />My sentiments exactly! For example, when I read Still Alice by Lisa Genova, there were a few f-words in the text. Now I work with those that have Alzheimers and I know that the disease causes inhibitions to be lowered and even persons who have never sworn in their life may start doing it. Therefore in this context, the language made sense as it demonstrated how the disease progressed.Laura at Library of Clean Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15252118683176350398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4989928376595084149.post-8564544966217901832011-12-14T10:12:26.631-05:002011-12-14T10:12:26.631-05:00The key issue for me is whether something is cruci...The key issue for me is whether something is crucial and relevant to the plot. The particular scene in TTTW could have been deleted and it would have made no difference whatsoever. In fact, about 150 pages of the book could have been safely edited out! It was very frustrating as there was a clever story buried deep within the superfluous waffle! Note for budding authors: Please don’t tell us what the ending is going to be five chapters before the end!<br /><br />Although I am not averse to using strong language personally, I am not comfortable reading it in a novel unless it really is necessary. If a character is shot, you would not expect him to say “Oh dear, that’s a pity” but unwarranted use of expletives is, in my view, a distraction.Canny Linguisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18400497388718037183noreply@blogger.com
