Even time travel cant unravel love Time-travel is a way for writers to play with history and imagine different futures for better, or worse. When romance is thrown into the mix, time-travel becomes a passionate tool, or heart-breaking weapon. A time agent in the 22nd century puts their whole mission at risk when they fall in love with the wrong person. No matter which part of history a man visits, he cannot not escape his ex. A woman is desperately in love with the time-space continuum, but it doesnt love her back. As time passes and falls apart, a time-traveller must say goodbye to their soulmate. With stories from best-selling and award-winning authors such as Seanan McGuire, Alix E. Harrow and Nina Allan, this anthology gives a taste for the rich treasure trove of stories we can imagine with love, loss and reunion across time and space. Including stories by: Alix E. Harrow, Zen Cho, Seanan McGuire, Sarah Gailey, Jeffrey Ford, Nina Allan, Elizabeth Hand, Lavanya Lakshminarayan, Catherynne M. Valente, Sam J. Miller, Rowan Coleman, Margo Lanagan, Sameem Siddiqui, Theodora Goss, Carrie Vaughn, Ellen Klages

Thanks to @julesG for suggesting a buddy read… it must be some kind of personal record to read a book a mere month after buying it 🤣

Still absolutely love MOST of these short stories - I don‘t have anything to add to my original review- other than to sing the praises of Alix E Harrow, Zen Cho, Seanan McGuire, Sarah Gailey, Rowan Coleman, Carrie Vaughn & Ellen Klages.

♥️ 🚀

julesG I still need to finish. 😬 6mo
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @julesG, you‘ll get there! It was just the right amount of book for me to finish before bed. 6mo

Today‘s little book haul and my one purchase at the big design market before I hit my tolerance limit for being in an over crowded space.

I haven‘t come across Juhwaa‘s work before - the colours caught my eye but the whimsy was what made me patiently wait my turn to flip through all the different prints.

julesG I loved Someone in Time. So many great stories. 7mo
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @julesG, I agree - I first read it via NetGalley but I feel I‘ll want to reread at some point 7mo
julesG Same!! Buddy re-read? 7mo

This is an interesting and fun collection of short stories all focused on time travel and romance. 14 of the 16 stories are original to this anthology, and most are solid. While it's hard to pick a favorite, Cat Valente's is the one that really stood out the most to me so it's only fitting I use this picture taken from her Instagram post highlighting it.

Chrissyreadit I need a time travel portal too 😆😘 2y
tpixie @Chrissyreadit it‘s been weird - all my books have been overlapping. I was reading two books at the same time in which the main character was named Alice. Two books, one right after another, that the father was dying and the daughter was the caregiver. And now two time travel books in a row. Too bad I don‘t journal, or I would be able to keep all those books a little more straight in my head! 2y

tpixie Yes!!! Hi neighbor!!! I was born in Carthage, and lived in Springfield and Jefferson City, before moving to Overland Park Ks as a child. So close! As an adult, I‘ve lived in Wichita & Hutchinson. Several years ago, we had a #LitsyMeetUp at a KC library with KS & MO Littens. 🌺 2y

I've been in a bit of a reading slump and this was the perfect book to break me out of it. As always, I liked some stories better than others (Catherynne M Valente's and Ellen Klages's were particular favorites) but it was overall a very strong, creative collection of stories about love and time travel.

Bonus: most of the stories were queer romances which I didn't know going in and was very happy to discover!

Kimberlone Cute cover! 3y

Short story anthologies are such a brilliant way to try out new authors, I was drawn to this by seeing that Zen Cho had a story included & while her story was my favourite, it had serious competition, several have me wishing for more and will be living rent free in my mind for some time. If you enjoy love stories and think time travel is a cool concept (and every author here has a different take on how time travel works and how it effects society)

thegirlwiththelibrarybag then you are in for a good time. I read this as an ARC via Netgalley but it‘s out in May - so not long to wait! 3y

3. A short story collection that uses love & time travel as a jumping off point with an author line up that might just make you drool (but like in a cool way).

2. I‘m just getting acquainted with Mary Stuart - who Wikipedia says “developed the romantic mystery genre, featuring smart, adventurous heroines who could hold their own in dangerous situations.” There is usually also a bit of magic involved (I‘m only 2 books into her backlist)

1. ⬇️

thegirlwiththelibrarybag 1. Reading “That Time I Got Drunk And Married A Demon” made me laugh a lot - it‘s a short read that I devoured in a single sitting. Loved it. (edited) 3y
BookmarkTavern Mary Stuart is an excellent choice! Thank you for sharing! 3y
