Time and Time again

Maybe it was just the Valentine's Weekend getting to me or not knowing what a triple toe pick sow cow was, but I thought I'd check out The Time Traveler's Wife on DVD. If you're like me and always seem to be at the bottom of a reserve list with thirty people ahead of you, perhaps you'll be interested in these books located in our Young Adult Department.

Check out Undercover by Beth Kephart. Sort of a modern day Cyrano remake Undercover tells the story of Elisa, the undercover author of many a love note penned for Theo as he tries to woo the lovely Lila. Elisa writes other letters, too. Letters to her father, the only one who seems to understand her. Scenes of ice skating on the frozen pond as Elisa withdraws to the one thing that makes her feel special, figure skating. Hey it's a love story and you might learn about that triple toe loop thing. The author, Kephart, is a figure skater so if anyone is going to know, she is.

For more of a time after time love theme check out Reincarnation by Suzanne Weyn. Beginning with a life and death in prehistoric times and evolving into a love haunted by history, this book follows the lovers through the realms of ancient Egypt, Greece, up to the present day. Can all this have started through the desire of a beautiful green stone? You'll be hanging around the emerald counter at your mall's jewelry store.

Check out this book and it may have you looking for other documentation on reincarnation. A must read for the non-fiction crowd would be Only Love is Real: A Story of Soulmates Reunited by Brian L. Weiss. If you can't find that check out Many Lives, Many Masters, also by Weiss.
