Latest Review: Diary of a Snoopy Cat by R.F. Kristi

Thank you for this review! I loved your description of the plot, and that you included the fact that she has bipolar disorder. Mental illness is rarely given proper representation in literature, so I am glad to see it shown in an accurate light! Time travel is a fascinating concept, so I look forward to reading this book.

I generally hate movies and books about time travel. That being said after reading the review and sample of "The Watchmaker's Doctor" I will definitely read this book. I instantly had a connection to Anaya, and I believe I will enjoy seeing how her new choices will effect her life. Thank you for the review

It is a book that teaches us to make every moment count and live each day as our last one. It is full of optimism and I liked that.

The illusion of time. I have always believed that time is but an illusion, as the only thing that is real is our thoughts. I can see, from the little I have read, that this book boils on the possibility of 'toying' with time.

And to the question of if I would turn back the hands of time, I definitely will...

Thanks for this witty and concise review.

I really enjoyed reading this review. The idea of travelling back in time is also something that I believe every person has wished for.

Life should be lived and not survived. Really though, isn't it often the reality that both cases can be true? Thank you for a good summary.

The prologue of the story is kind of generic for me. I have read so many books regarding time travelling and this one is too generic. The author could have started in a very different approach in the story. But the im still looking forward for the next few chapters of this book. 3/4 stars

The book sounds interesting. I agree that in many instances our life goes wasted and most often than not we settle for things that do not bring us happiness or any form of fulfillment. Anaya has a chance to change some of her past actions and she grabs this opportunity, now she will do everything right with her mind of a thirty-five year-old woman, like her choice of a career, her relationship with her parents and others. This is a great opportunity. It will be interesting to read if her life took a different turning. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

I wish time travel could be real. Wouldn't mind being that age again.Although I don't think I would want to go through high school again. Sounds like a fun book to read. Thanks for the review.

I am not usually a fan of time travel stories because they always seem to border on fantasy, but this review seems to indicate that there is a twist to this story as well as some humanness which sounds appealing. A nice review that made me want to read this short book.
