What are you all planning for Christmas ❓❓❓
I haven't made any concrete plans yet, but I'm considering getting a plum cake and some pastries. I'm also thinking of picking up a good book to enjoy.

Snuffy Cod (Wingate's alter ego) is the sole caregiver for her dying husband... okay... stop. He does die but sometime in the future—a future she visits on and off through popovers to past and present. Snuffy’s visits occur in fits and starts via some perceived time travel portal. She embarks on these excursions several times throughout the day, hour, minute, second—sometimes simply during a thought. Nothing more. Nothing less. Is it escapism? Of course not. Don’t be silly. Pshaw! Meanwhile, her husband lays flat, unmoving in a hospital bed upstairs on an excruciatingly slow slide toward death—death by molasses slick. Or is he? If Snuffy Cod can remain in the past, even the present, might she be able to prevent a future and, thusly, his impending death?
Susan Wingate writes about big trouble in small towns and lives with her husband on teeny-weeny island off the coast of Washington State where, against State laws, she feeds the wildlife because she wants them to follow her around their property.
Her ukulele playing, as her Sitto used to say, "Is coming along."

My Opinion
The Heartbreak of Time Travel is a rare gem of a book—one that combines emotional depth with an imaginative twist. From the very first page, I was hooked by its compelling narrative and beautifully drawn characters.
The time-travel aspect adds a layer of intrigue, but the real heart of the story lies in its exploration of love and loss. The protagonist’s journey is both relatable and inspiring, reminding us all of the strength it takes to face life’s challenges.
The author’s writing is exceptional, capturing the complexities of human emotions with grace and precision. I found myself laughing, crying, and reflecting, sometimes all at once.
This is a book that deserves a place on everyone’s bookshelf. Don’t miss it.
