I received Time Travel: Dinosaur by Matt Youngmark for free in exchange for a review. When I found out I won this book I was excited. I grew up reading Choose Your Own Adventure books and I felt that this book would have the opportunity to throw me back to sitting on the floor in the library with my friends reading for hours on end. This book most definitely did except this time I was sitting in my bathtub soaking my soak body after a long day at work.
The book is witty yet it causes the reader to think beyond the story, it causes the readers imagination to run wild and imagine as if they are in a jungle somewhere, to running for their life from a dinosaur to being an actual dinosaur to spending time on the moon with cops. The goal is to save the original timeline and you are able to do this through time travel.
There is some profanity used in this book, so while it appears to be perfect for children I believe it is aimed more for readers who are teenagers because of language use. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I hope teenagers and other adults who want a revamped choose your own adventure book to spark their imagination and entertain them for several hours.

Well, we are back with this time travel of a book. This one was a bit more less entertaining. It was still worth reading and receiving. We get back to traveling back in time. Only now we are mostly in the modern time.
If you are into terrorism what would you do if you could go back in time and stop maybe without changing history? We see what happens when something happens that happens to kill a member of the special team? Was it his fault? This make a decision seems to affect a member that not in the military when her brother is killed?
What happens to Michelle Jackson once her brother is killed? When JJ and the president cant not go back and save him? There seems to be a regret that JJ has? What is it?
We seem to follow Michelle a bit more and also end up in Italy for a few missions. What missions they do go on. Will they help or hurt their BOTM options? Will their be something of nature that the members to need to learn.
What happens to the pulses and if they can get more or not. The author does it once again with this book. What happens to JJ and his wife Michelle? The President seems more involved. What will happen with him? I will want to know how this continues. There are twists an turns though out the book. This is really good for science fiction fans and along with time travel fans. Are you into history, well this book take you on journey back in time as well.

The only Gemmell book I know of that was written in the first person, in which he returns to the same world as his earlier "Knights of Dark Renown" (the events of which are only mentioned in passing).
In this Robin Hood-a-like tale, he details how an outlaw (who cares for nothing and no-one save himself) becomes a hero of legend, with a bit of time-travel, sorcery and the undead all thrown into the mix!

Intense sci-fi
This Netflix original is a good one. Once again Netflix comes through with an excellent story. Time travel is always a tough one to make work but they did in this intense action thriller. The characters were played well and the film work was extremely good. It takes place in one house/lab where a machine designed to generate limitless energy somehow loops time. The protagonists have to keep figuring out what to do in each loop to survive. The story unfolds beautifully and is full of twists and turns. Some violence but nothing gory- pretty family friendly. REALLY worth a watch!

Apparently, this is the second time I've read this book. The thing is, I didn't remember reading it the first time. Except, that parts of the book were familiar making me question whether or not I've read it before.
If you want a good summer or travel book with a slow plot, that is an easy read, this is great for that. The story is well written if slightly forgettable it does take you on an interesting and emotional journey.
I completely get Martha's burn-out feeling and while we live a little too much in her head the other characters do have personality.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2076 KP) rated Disney at Last (Kingdom Keepers: The Return #3) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Finn, the rest of the Kingdom Keepers, plus Jess and Amanda are still back in 1955. While they wait for their trip back to our time to be perfected, they have a new mission – stop the overtakers from even being created. Meanwhile, in the present, Jess and Amanda’s friend Mattie is in a fight of her own to protect the parks of the present. Can she do it?
With two stories in two time periods, this book is never boring. There are several great fight scenes, and we even get to see some of the Disney heroes for more than a glimpse this time around. As always, the characters could be more fleshed out, but I have spent so much time with them I really don’t care. I do feel the climax glossed over a few things, but I do like where the characters end up. We’ll just blame it on me trying to follow time travel.

Mario Party: Animal Crossing Style
Extremely reminicent of Mario Party, you travel around a game board over the course of a month and try to get the most points. Each month has special events but other than that it's exactly the same. It's fun to play one or two rounds but anymore at a time becomes tedious.
It's a cute game that is fun in small spurts, but has low replay value.

I found this to be a sweet story. Not the best time-travel romance I've read, but it is far from the worst. Rome and Adrian were pleasant characters, although Adrian's constant questioning and thought process could get annoying at times. The end was a bit rushed and I wish it could have been a little different, but it was decent. Still, I thought it was a lovely story with likeable, and one not so likeable, characters.
