#BookADayUK; A Reader Event For October. Day 26

The Time Traveler's Wife (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Today's theme, somewhat lately responded to, is 'Clocks go back! Best book on time-travel'. Now, of course, I could cite the classic H.G. Wells' The Time Machine, but that's bound to be promoted by thousands. Mind you, my own choice here is also likely to be very popular. I've chosen The Time Traveller's Wife, by Audrey Niffenegger. It's a great story and well written. I reviewed it on here after reading it and you can read that review by clicking on this link, should you feel so inclined.
