The Time Traveler's Wife
4 journalers for this copy...
From barnesandnoble.com:
"Often lighthearted, thoroughly original, and ultimately profoundly moving, Audrey Niffenegger's first novel tells the story of two people destined to be together: Clare, a perfectly normal woman, and Henry, a time-traveler.
According to the unique rules that Niffenegger creates, Henry travels unexpectedly and mostly to his own past, often when he is "all stressed out and [has] lost his grip on now." As Henry explains when he first meets Clare: "…the person you know doesn't exist yet. Stick with me, and sooner or later he's bound to appear. That's the best I can do." And while it's true that Henry travels to different moments in time, he also travels from them as well. He frequently gets lost in time and doesn't know "when" he is.
But the real story of the book is the lifelong love Clare and Henry share as they try to make the most of the times they have together -- the times when Henry is not traveling.
Subtle but powerful, The Time Traveler's Wife is a book whose importance becomes more evident with each turn of the page, provoking readers to ask themselves if they've made the most of the moments of their lives --moments so fleeting, they could be time travelers themselves."

Thank you so much for this book. I have wanted to read this for a LONG time.
I am finally reading this book and am LOVING it so far. I am having to fight my DD for reading time cuz she decided to read it for her book report in English and loves it, too. Thanks so much for sharing this book. I can see this book possibly becoming a favorite.
Well, I can say I have officially lost the book to my daughter so I will finsish it when I get it back from her. She has an actual deadline and I don't so I am reading something else in the mean time. I cnanot wait to get back to Clare and Henry though.
I stole this book from my mother for a book report. It has got to be one of my favorite books. I definitely recommend it to anyone and everyone, especially if you love romance.
Wow. I LOVED this book. This book is about love, devotion, heartbreak, families, and life. Clare is so in love with Henry and knows her future is with him. Henry is a bit of a rogue in his younger years but his relationship with Clare develops him into the man she met when she was six. I HIGHLY recommend this book to others. It is fantastic!
Will be mailing this to my best friend, a non-bc'er. I hope you love this book as much as I did and also consider joining BC. Miss ya.
Thanks to sleepymom, my dear friend, for a wonderful love story...very good. Niffenegger weaves an interesting tale of hardship,joy and love transcending all time...Had me up reading late to see what would happen next to Clare and Henry. I'm giving it to another friend to enjoy...
