I LOVED THIS BOOK SO MUCH.

... And then never read anything else by her partly because I was kind of worried it was a fluke and party because I just haven't got around it yet. Let us know if you pick up anything else by her! I am curious!

You know, I'm pretty sure this is one of those universally loved books, because pretty much everyone I've talked to has enjoyed it at least one some level.

And everyone says I should read Doomsday Book next. When I get around to it, I let you know!

I'll hold off reading this until I finish reading the book myself, but I'm glad you seem to have enjoyed it! If I forget, remind me to add your review to mine when it's posted!

I did enjoy it :). I'll remember to remind you as well.

I've got about 100 pages left. :) I hope to finish it today, though the review won't be up until the end of the month.

Finished! I'm starting to draft my review now, and I've added a link to this already. :)

My recommendation would be DOOMS DAY BOOK. It's more time-traveling historians, and while not as funny as this, it does feature a familiar face, even though it takes place earlier than this one does.

I also adored PASSAGE, which isn't a time-traveling historians book, but very, very good.
