Gosh, I had to google time travel books to see which ones I have read, LOL!

I did like The Time Traveler's Wife. I read it a long time ago, and barely remember it - so I will re-read it and hopefully I will still like it!

I did not love the Outlander series, but that is a popular time travel series.

Stephen King's 11/22/63 was a good one.

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (YA) was also one I liked and it is interesting b/c of the pictures. It is actually better in hard copy than Kindle b/c of the pictures!


On my list is Life After Life - by Kate Atkinson.

Here's what I found on Goodreads!

I also finished "Our House" by Louise Candlish. It was a little drawn out, but worth reading.

Hi,
Here's a list of Diane Chamberlain books that I have read. For the most part, I did enjoy all of them:

The Dream Daughter
The Stolen Marriage
Pretending to Dance
The Midwife's confession
Before the Storm
The Bay at Midnight


She has written more than I thought - here's what I guess is a full listing:

The Dream Daughter
The Stolen Marriage
Pretending to Dance
The Silent Sister
Necessary Lies
The Good Father
The Midwife's confession
The Lies We Told
Secrets She Left Behind
Before the Storm
The Secret Life of CeeCee Wilkes
The Bay at Midnight
Her Mother's Shadow
Kiss River
The Courage Tree
Keeper of Light
Cypress Point/The Shadow Wife
Summer's Child
Breaking the Silence
The Escape Artist
Reflection
Brass Ring
Lovers and Strangers
Fire and Rain
Private Relations
Secret Lives

Did I suggest her way back when? I cannot remember.

Thanks Donna for the time travel suggestions and the Goodreads link. I've so wanted to like the Outlander books and have started several times but can't seem to get into them.

Have you read Time and Time Again by Ben Elton? I really enjoyed it. Replay by Ken Grimwood is excellent.

My favorite Diane Chamberlain books:

The Dream Daughter
The Stolen Marriage
The Silent Sister
The Courage Tree
The Secret Life of CeeCee Wilkes
Pretending to Dance
The Midwife's Confession
Summer's Child
The Lies We Told
The Good Father
Before The Storm/sequel The Secrets She Left Behind
The Bay at Midnight

I think that's all-I really enjoy her books.

Have you ever read the author Luanne Rice? They are also family saga type books set in the south. You may enjoy her also.

Sherry - thanks for your list, I will have to read some of the ones I haven't read yet! I don't think I have read Luanne Rice......I listen to Dorothea Benton Frank books in my car - they are entertaining and don't require a ton of concentration so safe for driving and they make my commute more enjoyable.

Annette - thanks for the suggestion!!

Donna, you are welcome! Not all of Luanne's books are set in the south. I haven't read hers in a long time. I think I read them in the late 1990s-early 2000's. I need to see if she has anything I haven't read yet.
