Where do you want to travel?
Great Top Ten! I don’t know if I would want to time travel. There some much going on, what if I went back and accidentally changed something, and it changes EVERYTHING!? Sounds scary! 😉
My Top Ten Tuesday!
Since time travel is probably not real (probably) there’s not much danger. 😉 But I would definitely stock up on antibiotics! Thanks for stopping by!
there are so many of these i still need to read! argh! Lol. Delighted to see Last Chance here though 🙂
Loved Last Chance. I need to stop visiting everyone’s TTTs. Or I will need to build an annex for my books.
Haha!
Thanks for including Sea Rose Lane, Beckie! The Oregon coast is truly spectacular!
I’d love to see the stacks in person!
Thanks for the mention of God’s Daughter, Beckie–book 2 (Forest Child) will release in November and I’m once again walking around in Viking times in my authorly mind. 😉 How I wish I could visit the actual Viking locales, like Newfoundland, Iceland, and Greenland!
Woo Hoo! Can’t wait!
Some good choices here. I like reading historical fiction as well, but novels like God’s Daughter make me appreciate modern conveniences (and attitudes). Those were difficult times, and I’m grateful I live now.
Thankful for all things modern. If I were to travel in my way back machine, I would load up on antivirals and antibiotics!
