Wow, November’s gone by in a blur. I’d had a number of things planned, but other things – good things! 😊 – happened along the way and derailed me. While I’m not yet able to announce what those things are, let’s just say that they’ve taken priority, hence my lack of replies in the past

#FeatureFriday: Quantum Wanderlust by Staci Troilo (and Friends)

I’m a sucker for time travel and time-related themes. Name a time flick and I’ve probably seen and loved it: Predestination, ARQ, Edge of Tomorrow, The Time Traveler’s Wife, The Age of Adaline, Interstellar, to name a few. Books, too: the TimeRiders series is an absolute favorite, as well as The Time Traveler’s Wife novel,
