TheKidUpstairs I tried a couple times and couldn't get into Fool, but I really enjoyed Time. So my vote goes to 2y
Megabooks My vote is for TTT. While both books were about love, the platonic and familial love Straub portrayed moved me much more deeply. It was just a fantastic book! 2y
ImperfectCJ This Time Tomorrow has my vote. I just couldn't get into the other one, and I very much enjoyed Straub's take on time travel. I also like that the main character was the daughter of a famous author, like Straub herself. 2y
Cathythoughts I vote for this book. It had love and affection. 2y
batsy My vote is for This Time Tomorrow. 2y
Leniverse In June we had two books I really liked but felt had a week ending, this month we had two books that I thought got better in the second half. It's an easier choice this time though. I vote for 2y
TrishB @ImperfectCJ doh! I didn‘t realise she was Peter Straub‘s daughter! 2y
TrishB This Time Tomorrow 😁 I didn‘t finish the other one. 2y
Laughterhp I liked them both! But my vote is for This Time Tomorrow! 2y
squirrelbrain Fool got better as it went on, but there‘s still no competition really, as I loved 2y
jlhammar Easy decision for me this month. This Time Tomorrow for sure!! 2y
MrsV Hands down I liked This Time Tomorrow more 2y
Soubhiville Wow it‘s looking unanimous so far! I also am surprised I liked them both. But it‘s not hard to say I preferred 2y
KarenUK I liked both…. But easy choice! 2y
rockpools I didn‘t get through Beauty I‘m afraid - I may give it another go yet. And if it hadn‘t been part of #CampLitsy I‘d never have picked up TTT. But there were lots of elements of it I really enjoyed (although I‘m reaching the very sad conclusion that time travel might not be my thing). I‘m voting 2y
Bookwormjillk A week after finishing both I remember one more than the other. So that‘s my pick even though the other, to me, was more readable. That was 2y
Addison_Reads I really enjoyed them both, but I'd have to pick 2y
BarbaraBB That‘s easy for me: 2y
cariashley Easy for me too! This Time Tomorrow for sure! 2y
Hooked_on_books It‘s the Straub for me! I didn‘t much like the other one. 2y
Christine TTT for me as well, but to be fair I set aside the Emezi after just a few chapters (and may return to it one day). 2y
Kitta I didn‘t read TTT so idk if I can vote but if I can I vote for 2y
