Time Travel Mart<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Problem:<\/strong>
\nTime travel is my favorite genre, but it’s almost always lumped together under the generic “Sci-Fi & Fantasy” category.\u00c2\u00a0 That means when I’m seeking out new time travel entertainment fixes I have to resort to either very precise Googling or wading through tales of aliens, spaceships, far future dystopias, dragons, elves, superheroes and other such things that I’m not as big a fan of.<\/p>\n

The Solution:<\/strong>
\nOne stop shopping, via a custom built Amazon aStore.\u00c2\u00a0 Allow me to introduce you to Local Boy’s Time Travel Emporium<\/a> \u00e2\u20ac\u201d my curated collection of time travel books, DVDs, and TV shows available on Amazon.com.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s a work in progress, but hopefully it will help fill the sub-genre gap for those with similar tastes to myself.<\/p>\n

In the words of Carter USM<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“The big shop is open and the world is wonderful!”<\/p>\n
