I knew this book had a time travel element to it based on reading the description, but it wasn’t quite what I expected. Sometimes it’s nice to read the unexpected. I enjoyed this story and will think about how I want to rate it later on. For now, I’ve already downloaded the next book to see how the overall story ends.

This was a super short read. I enjoyed it but wished there was more to it. If you have time to read this post, you could totally read this ebook (if you’re up for it.)

Thank you for taking the time to read this post. If you like it let me know and share it with others. See you next time, Toi Thomas. #thetoiboxofwords #blacklivesmatter

I’ve actually read this book several times and with my crazy busy schedule, I haven’t gotten around to re-reading it yet. Still, I’m excited about the discussions that will start next week. See my review here.

We open up our discussions before the end of the month and they remain open indefinitely. I hope that will encourage members to participate in their own time.

I got a late start of this one, but I’m flying through it. So far, my impression of the book is “charming.” I like the small close-knit community the author has created and I’m liking many of the characters. I’m interested to see how the mystery gets solved and to see the main relationship develop.

Happy Birthday to me. Too bad I have no celebration plans. I’m working all day. Maybe I’ll be able to do something this weekend.

Of the two featured books, I picked this one up first. However, shortly after, I also picked up the other title. Since I’m a little book crazy, I’m always reading 3-4 books at once and this month is no different. Since I’m also reading another mystery-type book, I put this one down after the first story, which I enjoyed, to focus on the other anthology. Now that I’ve finished Parallels (still working my way through that other mystery book), I can pick Tick Tock back up and discover the other stories within.

I’m saving my review for the end of the month, but I have finished this book. Just finished it yesterday and I really enjoyed it. The diversity of these stories is incredible. Fiction has a way of making you appreciate reality when you start thinking about alternative worlds. I’m really looking forward to what people have to say during the group discussion later this month.
