And nearly forgotten. This was an interesting enough story but I guess just not my cup of tea. Like I mentioned, I'm not a huge fan of time travel (well, other than The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger. That was an excellent book!). Anyway, I liked that in the end, Anna and Joseph had to travel back to their future lives even though both wanted to stay behind in the 1800s, sort of like Reese Witherspoon in the movie Pleasantville staying in the 1950s because she'd done it all in the present.

Now & Then by Jacqueline Sheehan
Okay. I started reading Now & Then by Jacqueline Sheehan and just got into a chapter that, I must say, was put in the right place. I mean, if this nonsense had happened in the story right off the bat, I'd have closed it and reached for another book.
Time travel.
I'm not a fan of science fiction or fantasy. Give me the real stuff. Relationships. Mundane life. Heck, I'll take murder. Just keep it real. But the story had moved along enough that I was interested in the characters thus far so will continue reading it. And the writing is good.
Do you like time travel or other phenomena that may or may not (admit it, probably not) really happen?
