Time travel books are always tricky. Some get too caught up in "the rules" while others have none. It's confusing. I still have not read The Hate U Give. There is no doubt in my mind that it's worthy of all the love it gets but I'm not sure if my heart can take it right now.Tanya @ A Mindful Migrationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12662395965850097235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938017709366022158.post-59785885009052925342018-10-09T10:34:06.537-04:002018-10-09T10:34:06.537-04:00THUG was awesome and I really loved it.THUG was awesome and I really loved it.Kay R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17616798594879683219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938017709366022158.post-69738140600893262532018-10-09T10:23:37.242-04:002018-10-09T10:23:37.242-04:00glad you liked finding fraser - i also love outlan...glad you liked finding fraser - i also love outlander, though i am behind on the show because i keep meaning to read book 2 (at this point, i need to reread book 1). i also wanted to slap the main character in that one though. she was so naive. glad you liked the hate u give!<br />Kristen @ See You In A Porridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09592108031437491276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938017709366022158.post-10881013756086468432018-10-09T09:50:56.644-04:002018-10-09T09:50:56.644-04:00THUG was a great read!
