Ultimate Popsugar Reading Challenge discussion

Oh I just finished Birdsong which fits this genre perfectly!

Lots of good suggestions here too...will have to think of which one to choose!

I'm thinking of The Last Letter from Your Lover."
That looks interesting thank you!!

Just want to recommend The Witch's Daughter, as it would definitely work in this category. The book goes back and forth across centuries, and is a really great read and very fascinating!

The book of life - Deborah Harkness
Does this fit into this category?

Katie wrote: "Would Middlesex work here?"

I think that would definitely work. It's been a long time since I read it but it's set in the present but also recounts the past, the family history.

So many good ones on here. I'm thinking Fates and Furies. And I may do Orphan Train as one that's been on my list for far too long!

Viking Love and beyond is a good time travel si-fi

I was going to use this prompt to finally get around to A God in Ruins
Would that work?

I'm using Miss Peregrine's home for peculiar children, but I would love to read the time travellers wife which would suit this perfectly as well

I'm almost done with this book and I'm really enjoying it.
A Murder in Time

I've decided to change from The Nightingale to The Scribe of Siena, which also counts for a book being published in 2017 if anybody is interested in a book for that task. I read a chapter in December because I got a digital ARC of it and really enjoyed that, so I'm looking forward to continuing this read.

I was just wondering if The Joy Luck Club could apply for this one? :) happy reading friends!

The Bonesetter's Daughter would definitely work for this category. I haven't read the Joy Luck Club so I'm not sure.

Would life after life work for this category

I can recommend In the Light of What We See - set in the 1930s and the present day.

The Named (Marrianne Curley)

The Light of Paris by Eleanor Brown. It is set in the twenties and 1999, telling the story of a grandmother when she was young, and her granddaughter who is finds her journals.

I wanted to read The Fiery Cross in the Outlander series but is it still set in two time periods?

The Last Painting of Sara De Vos. contemporary England and Australia with 17th century Holland. A great book.

I'm gonna read Outlander 8 I think... multiples time periods ;)

Reading the synopsis of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil: A Savannah Story it seems like it might for for this, can anyone confirm (or deny ^^) this?

I have a question. Can anyone tell me if Water Music will do for this category?

The Girl Who Wrote in Silk was a very interesting book. It takes place in the late 1800s and present day. I just finished it before the New Year otherwise it'd be my read for the prompt!

Kindred would work for this too.
Woman on the Edge of Time as well.

Almost anything by Kate Morton would fall into this category. The Lake House is my favorite, but The Forgotten Garden and The Secret Keeper would work also.

I recommend Time and Time Again by Ben Elton!

Ohhhh, I've had that on my shelf for AGES! Been meaning to read it!

I just finished The Orphan Train and loved it! It would definitely fit in this category.

I need a suggestion on this one. I am reading a modern. story about someone involved on a reality show where they go back to live in the 1800s.

What is you opinion on if this one counts for two time periods?

I am reading Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children for this one!!

Any of the Assassin's Creed books :)

I read Secrets of Nanreath Hall by Alix Rickloff.

I will be reading Human Croquet for this prompt. I own a copy of this book, which I bought from my library's ex-library book sale for $.50 too long ago. It will be good to finally find a reason to read it.

Are they time travelling to the 1800s or just living like people in the 1800s would? The former would could, but I don't think the later would, since the story is still in modern times.

The Pearl That Broke Its Shell

I haven't read this book but from readers comments it traces the history of two women in Afghanistan, 100 years apart. It sounds interesting and got some very good reviews.

Along the infinite sea is a great book for this one!

Conversion by Katherine Howe is set during the Salem Witch Trials and in the present

Sandman Overture is a great one for this challenge. It's set in two periods times that intertwine.

I am finishing up Paris by Edward Rutherford, and am enjoying it. His books are epic, covering centuries of humanity and history, detailing certain families' day to day lives and how they intertwine over the course of time. I also read London, similar style, just different city:-) I am doubling up on the challenge prompt of a book over 800 pages for this one. It's long but wonderful!

11.22.63 and The Eight

I think Everything Is Illuminated can work in this category

I decided to use the January group read, The Winter People, for this category since it alternated between 1908 and the present.

I just finished The Last Painting of Sara de Vos, and really enjoyed it.

I recently read a short story collection. All the stories take place in the same universe. Some take place ~30 years before the main series, some a few years after, one is about 8 years before. Would that count?

I just started reading Beatriz Williams' new book, The Wicked City. I was thinking I might use it for "published in 2017" but it looks like it takes place in two time periods, so maybe I'll use it for this category (since I now have several 2017 books I want to read!)

The Lake House by Kate Morton, or any of The Outlander books by Diana Gabaldon would work in this category.

The prompt says "a book", not "a story", so I don't see why not!

I recommend The Pearl That Broke Its Shell

I just finished reading Doomsday Book for this.

I just finished "slade house". Do you think I could use this for this prompt?
