I picked this up as my monthly free read. I like time travel stories, especially when they're well handled. A few that immediately come to mind are the River of Time series by Lisa T. Bergren abd Timeline by Michael Crichton (the book - NOT the movie). I didn't get to see all the "Kindle in Motion" bits in this title, but I wasn't really interested in them anyway.
Kate meets her grandmother and is intrigued by a glowing medallion. She later finds out she can use it to travel through time. She's going to need it - the past is being changed and Kate is supposed to make it right.
I was interested in the story at first, but then it seemed like the plot slowed down. The potential problem with time travel novels is that it creates natural questions that need to be addressed. This book seemed to want to answer every one of those questions in an exhaustive manner, and it was too much explanation and not enough action.
I made it about halfway in before giving up. It may have gotten better later on, but I had no interest in going farther. It just wasn't for me.
A little bit about what you'll find reviewed here
A little bit about what you'll find reviewed on this blog: I believe the best books involve characters you wish you could read more about long after the book is finished. Recently, I've been searching for hidden gems from the past. I read mostly fiction, and I'm a bit of a prude. I don't normally enjoy books with sex or excessive language.

Who I am:
I raised two wonderful girls, and I'm super proud of them. I enjoy reading (of course), sewing, cross stitching, photography and writing. I live in the high desert portion of Washington (which I didn't know existed until my husband and I decided to move here) and have really enjoyed my time out here. I am excited to see what God has next in store for my life!
