                                   Summary: Gwyneth Shepherd has known her whole life her
                                   cousin Charlotte is going to travel through time. So when she
                                   does, she is taken completely by surprise. Soon her life is a
                                   whirlwind. She's time traveling every day, and taking turns
                                   being annoyed by and crushing on, the handsome Gideon.
                                   There's lots to think about. Why did her Mom lie about her
                                   birthday? How did she hide it? And much more.
                                   Rating: I give this book a 5.

                                   International Bestseller
                                   Opinion: This book was full of mystery. You don't know who
                                   the "bad guys" are, and she finds out that her Mom has been
                                   hiding something from her, for her whole life. This book is
                                   definitely a must read!
                               
                                   I hope you've enjoyed my International books section!

  1. You have intrigued me, why would you do that! I have to many other books I need to read right now! I don't think I should read your blog for a wile until I have time to read some of the books you recommend, but I never listen to reason so I won't stop reading it. I must tell you that this is pure torture! Why do you find so many good books! I am in utter agony, literature, why do you call out to me so! thank you for your wonderful opinions, you are a true bibliophile.
