Tour & #Giveaway: Tremors Through Time by Anastasia Abboud - #TimeTravel, #Romance,

[Beyond the Fortuneteller's Tent] by [Kristy Tate] was a great twist on YA romance. It involves time travel and finding your true love. The adventures and twists make this story different than your typical YA paranormal romance (a genre too filled with vampires).

I compared it to the [Outlander] series but PG because I would be disturbed to see my students reading [Galbadon] but would gladly recommend the [Beyond] books.

Very entertaining
When I started this movie I wasn't sure what to expect-except the romance part. It turned out to be much more than that. It's a great sci-fi drama that was surprisingly intense and entertaining. The acting was great and the cinematography/ imagery/ effects were beautifully done. If you enjoy a good romance orsci-fi movie, you'll enjoy this one. Highly entertaining. Worth a watch!

I have had this sitting on my shelf since it came out. I finally got around to reading it and am very sad it took me so long. I love a good contemporary romance. This one has more than romance. There are multiple big plots that all interweave to create this fantastic read. My only problem is that it takes forever for both of them to realize what they want

Is it possible to add more categories to the books section? I have just added a book and found it very hard to classify it, all that fit was fiction and poetry which is not the most helpful classification. Perhaps a way to classify the book as adult or for mature audiences as well as dark romance would be helpful as just using the romance option feels very misleading. Thanks (:

I agree that fiction and poetry should be separate, and Sci-Fi and Fantasy. Historical fiction should also be a category, and there should be some sort of differentiation between the different kinds of Romance (erotica? If you don’t read it, I doubt you’d want to accidentally read about it!). I’ll have a think about others.

I don’t know what you would call this but perhaps some way to know if a book is a complete story or not. I know quite often in a series each book is about a different character within the same world, therefore each book is a complete story and you don’t necessarily need to have read the other books to still enjoy that one. I hope this makes sense (:

Steampunk Romance
not your typical heroine, Aline, is clever witty and so relatable. She doesn’t need nor want the oh so dashing Russian prince Sasha Romanov coming to her rescue every time something goes wrong. A little something for everyone, with historical character, steamy romance, vampires and automaton puppies. I read all of the Elders and Welders Chronicles and Margaret leaves you craving more. Fingers crossed there is more to come.

This book was everything I ever wanted in a romance thrown in with the reality and issues that are sadly so commonly found in the teenage generation. It was also what both Park and Eleanor needed in their lives. The romance was refreshingly simplisitic in a time so driven by lust which made it so very perfect. I 10/10 recommend this book to any lover of YA lit.

good story, interesting characters (0 more)
lack of progressive romance, grammatical errors, repeat dialogue (0 more)
Good read but, as I've said of the previous four books, there is a lot of repeat dialogue/actions as well as grammatical errors. The story was really action packed despite that but I'm a little put off by the lack of follow through in the romance department. Hoping it picks up in the next book.
