The Psychology of Time Travel by Kate Mascarenhas
1.0

Ahoy there me mateys!  This be the eighteenth book in me Ports for Plunder - 19 Books in 2019 list.  When I went to read this book, I realized that there was a problem.  I didn't actually own it like I thought I did!  I currently have a self-imposed rule that I can only buy books that I know I will reread and they have to be in ebook form (library book sales being the exception).  Also I be in the midst of a hold tally of all the books I own in both ebook and physical forms and don't want to buy another book until it be complete.  So I decided to download an Amazon sample to see if it be good enough to spend me loot.  Usually Amazon samples be dangerous because I read, fall in love, and immediately buy the book.  Sadly the answer was no to this book.  It has promise but not enough for the expensive ebook price.  The crew reviews seem to be all 3 stars and up but none of the local libraries have a copy.  As I only read the sample, I am not even including this book in the tally of reads for the year.  The only reason this post is being written is because of it was on the 19 in 2019 list.  What I read didn't excite me so I am going to abandon this one for now.  And maybe for always.  Arrrr!

Side note: Only one more to go!!
