This is the kinda book that you carry around with you everywhere just in case you find yourself with 5 minutes to kill. It's the kind of book that you neglect your to do list all week until you finish it. It's the book that you finish 10 minutes before the Superbowl starts. It's the book that you curl up with on the couch as snow softly falls outside and read by the light of your Christmas which is yes, still up since I live in an apartment with little storage (and it's just pretty!).
In case you can't tell, I love this book. I originally read it back in high school, but that was a long time ago so I decided to reread it. I love it even more the second time! As a rule, I generally don't reread books very often. I have a large stack of unread and lonely novels waiting for me to unlock their secrets and bond with their characters. But this book is the exception.
Written by Audrey Niffenegger,
The Time Traveler's Wife tells the passionate tale of a husband and wife who are bound in the romantic web of the husbands ability to time traveler. Unfortunately, he doesn't control his abilities and therefore often leaves Clare alone, sometimes leaving her to see another age of her. As confusing as this sounds, Niffenegger does an excellent job of keeping you in the loop, except for the twist ending. Clare and Henry's love is stronger than time itself and as the story unfolds, this becomes more and more evident as you read. You really need to read this book if you haven't already and then see the movie which is next on my list! It's the perfect read to get you in the Valentine's day spirit.
Happy Reading!
