The beauty of time travel stories is that under the tech, or the supernatural, they can be anything. And for me, they are everything. Paradoxes, puzzles, that oh-so-delicate space-time continuum: an infinite blank canvas for exploring human emotion, psychology, and choices. Just like everyone else, I have regrets, big and small, things that I wish I could change, sliding doors that may have taken me down the wrong fork in the road. With these books, each deeply personal and therapeutic in their own way, you may be able to see your own life choices anew, just like I did. Enjoy!
Friendly tip: I do not recommend reading this novel while isolated from your family due to travel and illness, because this book hits hard in all the right ways.
It invites both the protagonist and the reader to explore the deepest wells of regret and the branching infinities that our life choices produce. In doing so, the novel beautifully confronts the seductive lure of “what could have been” while reminding us of the quiet beauty in what is.
As someone whose mind is often lost in the past or gazing into the future, this ultimate lesson of the book provided a much-needed sense of clarity.

It takes a lot for me to read and love a novel about the US Civil War. The Jackal's Mistress exceeded my expectations in every way. It's not a thriller or a page-turner, really, and yet I couldn't put it down; I cared that much about the characters and what might happen to them. I love stories where "good" people are placed in excruciatingly impossible situations and forced to question their own humanity and morality, and this is one of those.

This was a year for great historical fiction. THE LISTENERS might have flown under the radar a bit, but I loved this quiet, deliberate story set in an exclusive hotel during WWII. The worldbuilding was wonderful and unexpected, but—again—the characters are the real stars here, and I loved the gentle romance between Tucker and June.

I seem to be drawn to epistolary novels (Guernsey Literary and 84 Charing Cross) though I resist it! It takes a great author to create a fascinating whole out of fragments. The main character is someone I feel I'd like to know IRL--and like I already do. The conclusion of the major plot point was unexpected. I've speculated about how it would affect me.
