It's About Time for a New Theme

 Time Year Begins!

So we have a new year and a new theme.  I still don't have the official name for it, but this year "is about time".

There are some time things I know I am going to be doing, turning 50 prominent among them.  There are plenty of time traveling books and movies (add your suggestions to the post below) and time (but not time traveling) books and movies I hope to enjoy.  There are thyme recipes to cook and maybe a sundial to place in my herb garden. I hope to have a personal best 5K time.  I'm going to keep my house cleaner (it's about time, really) and maybe have an "End of Time" party.

What else?

Time Travel Suggestions

 What are your favorite books and movies about traveling through time?

I have written about a few time traveling books on this blog in the past (Connie Willis's Doomsday Book and To Say Nothing of the Dog and The Time Machine and mentioned Time Traveler's Wife on multiple occasions).

The Mister and I are starting to list time travel movies we've seen and they range from Star Trek to Looper to Arrival to Interstellar to Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. 

Let us know what you think! 

Time for a New Year: Time Titles and Books about Time

 What are your favorite books or movies "about time" or with time in the title, but not about time travel?  Non-fiction (from timekeeping and the nature of time to seasons of life) and fiction both desired. 

Have recommendations for  Love in the Time of Cholera or A Brief History of Time or A Time to Kill or Wheel of Time?  How about Gone in 60 Seconds, 72 Hours, 28 Days Later9 1/2 weeks, 4 Months, 2 weeks and 3 Days, or 100 Years of Solitude?

"Time" books go here, along with media with minutes, seconds, or years in the title.
