“Let’s do the Time Warp Again” to quote the song from Rocky Horror

1 book from 1050 to 1980
1 book from 1981 to 1990
2 books from 1991 to 2000
2 books from 2001 to 2005
2 books from 2006 to 2010
2 books from 2011 to 2016

Well, it's that time. A new monthly challenge so you can all get to working at that TBR pile or mountain range, depending on what yours is like.

For the earlier years, sci-fi, horror and/or fantasy are all good. So, go for those wonderful oldies.Frankenstein, Dracula,20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, From the Earth to the Moon, Witch World, Have Space Suit, Will Travel. Any and all are welcome.

So read a book set in those times or when published? Just trying to clarify before I hit my shelves.

1/10 READ


1050 to 1980
1. The Judges House by Bram Stoker Published- 1891

1981 to 1990
2. Fire and Hemlock by Diana Wynne Jones Published 1985

1991 to 2000
3. Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson Published 2000
4. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling Published 1998

2001 to 2005
5. Grave Peril by Jim Butcher Published 2001
6.

2006 to 2010
7. Black Magic Woman by Justin Gustainis Published 2008
8. The Way of Shadows by Brent Weeks Published 2008

2011 to 2016
9. Pack of Lies by Laura Anne Gilman Published in 2011 3 STARS
10. The King J.R. Ward Published 2014

the publication date (original publication date) So if a book was re-released say in 2006 that was originally published in say 1865, (From the Earth to the Moon is my example) then it's the 1865 date that is important.

Ok thank you!!
