Hey guys. I'm having a super quick giveaway of Ruby Red by Kerstin Gier. This is the first book of a trilogy. The giveaway will be good until 6PM, Wednesday 6/15/11. Let's see what the book is about...
Gwyneth Shepherd's sophisticated, beautiful cousin Charlotte has been prepared her entire life for traveling through time. But unexpectedly, it is Gwyneth, who in the middle of class takes a sudden spin to a different era!
Gwyneth must now unearth the mystery of why her mother would lie about her birth date to ward off suspicion about her ability, brush up on her history, and work with Gideon--the time traveler from a similarly gifted family that passes the gene through its male line, and whose presence becomes, in time, less insufferable and more essential. Together, Gwyneth and Gideon journey through time to discover who, in the 18th century and in contemporary London, they can trust.
If you're interested in the chance to win it, leave a comment telling me if you've read any other books that deal with time travel. If you haven't, that's okay, just say so. Don't forget your email so I can contact you if you're the winner. That is all folks!
Giveaway open to residents of the US and Canada. Ends Wednesday 6/15/11 at 6PM!
Hi! I just stopped by from the waiting on wednesday linky. :)
I have read many great reviews for this book and look forward to being able to read it. Thanks for the giveaway. Jennifer kjovus at gmail dot com New follower.
I don't think I've read many books with time travel :( I have Dark Mirror sitting on my shelf right now and I think it may be about time travel...? but I haven't read it yet. Thanks for the giveaway!
I love Ruby Red's trailer!! The most recent book I've read about time travelling was The Lens and the Looker by Lory S. Kaufman, and I really liked it. Thanks for the giveaway! I'm a new follower.
Gwen is a great heroine for the story. Her naivety and natural curiosity help her to embrace her family's gift and along with her best friend, Leslie, she works to uncover some of the untold details. The author did a great job in researching because the historical details are wonderful in this tale. Gwen's travels back in time are historical accurate and the reader really notices the details of the times she visits. She also faces a chauvinistic secret society who help to monitor the time travelers and Gwen's modern feminist sensibilities are rankled as she begins to see how the men of the society regarded women.
The story was a delightful read. I'm assuming because it's the first of a trilogy, the ending was rather open ended, setting the reader up for the next book. I would highly recommend the series for the young reader and for even some older readers. It's refreshing and I look forward to the others in the series.
I'm an aspiring YA writer, working my way toward publication. I also love animals and this is a picture of one of the sweethearts in my life. Please do all you can to help and care for the animals of the world, especially the domestic ones. They depend on us to care. Love never goes out of style...
Enter me please! I've read and totally loved Parallel by Abra Ebner -- You should check it out, if you haven't read it already.

I've just read Timeless, which is about a girl that goes back into the Gilded Age and then later the Roaring Twenties!

I've only read one book about time travel before, but I can't even remember the name. It wasn't very memorable, to be honest.
