In This Moment by Gabrielle Meyer, One of my most anticipated books this year!

 

What if you could live 3 different lives during 3 of the most eventful years in the history of the USA? Could you choose which life you wanted? Could you voluntarily say goodbye to two of your families when you turn 21? These are the questions Maggie must answer by the evening of her 21st birthday. This is one of my all time favorite books!

 In This Moment by Gabrielle Meyer is the most anticipated sequel to When The Day Comes, my favorite book of all from last year. in this Moment follows Margaret "Maggie" through her 3 lives. She lives in Washington DC in all 3 lives just at different times. Everyday she wakes up in a different time period, 1861, 1941 and 2001. 

Maggie has different careers in all 3 times and has potential suitors in all 3 times also. At the age of 21 Maggie will have to choose which life she wants to live in, sacrificing her other 2 lives. I loved this book and eagerly read far past my bedtime to find out who/when Maggie would choose. the lives were very interesting and each had it's own appeal. I loved the settings and all of the characters were very life like. 

I do recommend reading When The Day Comes before reading In This Moment. I was absolutely thrilled to hear that there will be a third book. So brew up a pot of tea, throw supper in the crockpot and settle in for a fabulous read.

I was given a copy of this book by the publisher with no expectations. All thoughts are my own.

I have pre-ordered a paperback copy to add to my keeper shelf!

From Amazon:

Maggie inherited a gift from her time-crossing parents that allows her to live three separate lives in 1861, 1941, and 2001. Each night, she goes to sleep in one time period and wakes up in another. Until she turns twenty-one, when she will have to forfeit two of those lives--and everyone she knows in them--forever.

In 1861, Maggie is the daughter of a senator at the outbreak of the Civil War, navigating a capital full of Southern spies and wounded soldiers. In 1941, she is a navy nurse, grappling with her knowledge of the future when she joins a hospital ship going to Pearl Harbor. And in 2001, she's a brilliant young medical student, fulfilling her dream of becoming a surgeon.

While Maggie has sworn off romance until she makes her final choice, an intriguing man tugs at her heart in each era, only complicating the impossible decision she must make, which looms ever closer. With so much on the line, how can Maggie choose just one life to keep and the rest to lose?

Wait For Me (Water's Of Time book four) by Jody Hedlund

 

Wait For me by Jody Hedlund is the fourth book in the Water's Of Time series and I believe that it is my favorite. I loved Phillipa from the start and Dawson slowly grew on me. I loved watching the two of them grow as they spent time together. Phillipa went from being meek and dependent to become a self assured young woman who knew what she wanted and had the guts to go for it. I would have to say the waters restored more than Dawson's physical abilities, but also his character. This book has it all, Faith, suspense, romance and time travel, what more could a person ask for! Wait For Me will definitely make my top ten books for 2023.

I was given a copy of this book with no expectations. All thoughts are my own.

From Amazon:

When the darkness closes all around,
Beauty is still there just waiting to be found.

Dawson Huxham blames himself for his sister’s death . . . until he briefly crosses time and discovers she’s alive in the Middle Ages. Hoping to reconnect with her, he searches for the holy water that will help him visit the past for a longer duration. But he realizes he’s not the only one looking for the miraculous water. Terrorists are threatening him and watching his every move.

As Dawson locates holy water from an unlikely source, he crosses fully into the past where he meets a beautiful noblewoman, Philippa Neville, who is desperately trying to escape her uncle’s plans for an arranged marriage. When danger closes in, Dawson agrees to wed her in an effort to thwart her uncle’s schemes. As forces in both the present and past conspire against the newlyweds, will they find a way to be together before the swiftly moving waters of time separate them forever?
