Time Travel Reading Challenge 2011



I joined this one last year, but I didn't get anywhere with it. However, I'll give it another try since I have always loved time travels. This challenge is hosted by Alyce at At Home With Books


The Rules:

Decide how many time travel books you want to read and then read them before the end of 2011 - that's it! (The challenge goes from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2011.)

Please leave a link to your challenge post in Mister Linky below.

Time Travel Books:

Don't know which books to choose? I've been keeping a list of time travel themed books for over a year now. If you know of a title or author that's not on the list feel free to leave a comment with the information and I'll add it to the list.
