But I digress. So, a few days ago, the BF found evidence of a scuffle between a small animal (mouse) and a quite larger one (our 16 pound tabby).
I should have given her exterminator skills more credit.Next week we return to cooking. Let's hope I remember my way around a stove.
Current read is Now and Then by Jacqueline Sheehan. Time travel, the East Coast, lawyers, Ireland, wrestling and one-armed heroes. More soon.
In the meantime, what are your thoughts on time travel in novels, movies, shows, etc? Love it? Hate it? If you could travel back, or forward in time, where (or when?) would you go?
Full disclosure: I received a gratis copy of Now and Then from the lovely folks at Avon/Harper Collins after a friend of Sheehan's contacted me to see if I'd be interested in reading the novel.

I am passionately in love with time travel stories. Time travel stories are like catnip to me. I love all the attendant paradoxes and seeing how the writer deals with them. If I could travel in time, I would so go visit Oscar Wilde - apparently he had a beautiful speaking voice and was the most perfectly charming person you ever met. I think we would get on really well.
Time travel can definitely work well in books/film/television. My favorite episodes of Star Trek had to do with time travel, and my favorite author (Kurt Vonnegut) frequently deals with time travel in his novels. If I could, I've love to go back to the era of Frank Sinatra and the rest of the Rat Pack perform. It'd be wondrous! I wouldn't want to stay there, though. A visit would be enough!
I love time travel, but I have no particular place or time I'd want to go if I could. I just like reading about it; it's very escapist reading.
Jenny- Ooh, Oscar Wilde would be amazing!!
Amy- How fun would it be to chill with the Rat Packers in some Vegas lounge?!
Bookfool- Me too. If I ever traveled back or forward in time, I'd be so nervous about accidentally changing the course of history!
