I usually don't read Sci-Fi, but when I read the premise for this book, I thought it sounded pretty interesting, so I gave it a shot and entered the giveaway. I'm glad I did, because it was a really good book!!
The first chapter had me wondering if I was going to like it, as it seemed kind of "out there" to me. But once the second chapter started, introducing Sheridan and Taylor, I started getting into it, and managed to read over half the book in one sitting. It's set in 2447, but you can actually see how our world could turn into the one described, language-wise, government-wise, etc. The interactions between the characters was realistic and extremely funny at times, as Sheridan and Taylor used their "sayings" to confuse those around them and keep them from understanding their discussions. It was also interesting when the story switched to Echo's point of view, so the reader can see how he is coping with the "time riders" and how their arrival meshes with his plans.
"Erasing Time" has made me want to read more Sci-Fi, in hopes that I can mind more like it. It has renewed my faith in a genre that I usually steer clear of, and hopefully I'll find others that enjoy as much as this one!

Merissa (11784 KP) rated Cato (Fueled By Lust #3) in Books
Apr 6, 2023 (Updated Apr 10, 2023)
Luna, my heart goes out to her. Abuse isn't just physical and unless you've been on the receiving end of mental abuse you will have no idea how crippling it can be. I thought Celeste made Luna's story absolutely heartrending.
Cato has had me in tears - both with Cato's emotions and with Luna's story. It is an absolutely superb book that I really can't recommend highly enough.
The thing that really ties it all up for me into one of the best erotic sci-fi series I have ever read is the attention to the timeline and all the details of the world and the men. The mannerisms and sayings that we take for granted that can be misconstrued... and frequently are by the 'newbies' that arrive. I love how the ending of one book leads into the start of the next.
There are so many stories I have yet to hear, I hope that Celeste has more than a couple of tales left to tell in this series!

Deborah (162 KP) rated Consider the Fork: A History of How We Cook and Eat in Books
Dec 19, 2018
The book is very well written and very entertaining and not at all heavy or pompous. There are some illustrations in the shape of line drawings, but this is the one area for me where a few more illustrations would really have helped things. I'm afraid I still have no idea what a potato ricer looks like, of why I would possibly need one!
This book made me think (but without the head wanting to explode!) about the origins of words and sayings associated with food and eating and how they came into being. It also made you think about other things; when you realise that the balloon whisk is a relatively modern invention, your mind boggles at all the whipped desserts our ancestors enjoyed and how they were actually made without what is to us a fairly basic piece of kitchen equipment! I can't imagine using a bunch of twigs for 3 hours to whip up some egg whites!
A really different book and a really interesting one - highly recommended to anyone with an interest in cooking or social history.
