Historical fiction with a bit of romance. The stories typed together. One from the late 1800s, one from the 1950s and another from the late 2010s, all taking place in the same game mansion in Newport, RI. 

I wish there had been an author's note explaining the writing process of the 3 writers collaborating on a single book

I adore Wil Wheaton's narrations.

YA dystopian novel that I've always heard about but had never read. I wonder how many more recent YA dystopian novels were inspired by this one.

John Scalzi is a master of SciFi. Always a unique storyline. 

This is set in the future in a time where humans are trying to conquer other planets so they can be colonized. Their recruits: 75 year old humans who volunteer to somehow be made into super soldiers.

Historical fiction, time travel, romance - probable my favorite combination of genres. This is the first in a series and takes place in Yorkshire, England.
