Allison Picks Books<p>Prompt 44 - a book that features a married couple who don't live together - March 25, 2025 - I love a good time travel tale, and this one is no exception. The story is unique, told from the point of view of a "bridge," a person employed by the government to help time travelers adjust to our timeline. It has intrigue, romance, and adventure. I feel like this book is going to stick with me for a long time. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bookstodon</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/bookstodoner" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bookstodoner</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/popsugarreadingchallenge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>popsugarreadingchallenge</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/timetravel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>timetravel</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/theministryoftime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>theministryoftime</span></a></p>
