Rating: 4 Stars

Justina has moved into her new dorm room and she's settled into her classes. With all the course work, she hardly pays attention to the mysterious antique mirror left behind in her room. That is until the elaborate jewel embedded in the frame starts glowing and the mirror pulls her into a past era full of bootleggers and crime bosses and an intriguing unsolved mystery. In this new time period, Justina is someone else. She's even dressed to fit into the crowd. It's all very confusing, but once she figures out that the mirror is a time travel portal, she finds a way to sort out the mystery of the past that draws her through the mirror from the future.

Lashonda Beauregard's short story, The Mirror in My Dorm Room (A Time Travel Story), has the potential of being a fascinating time travel adventure, coupled with a little bit of mystery and amateur sleuthing. The characters are introduced primarily through dialogue and a bit of backstory to fit them into the plot. There is enough description to make the reader appreciate the setting and, most particularly, the beautiful, but mysterious antique mirror. The dialogue is a bit stilted at times, but it does help to move the story along. Although there is probably some significance to the sidebar section set in ancient Egypt (something to do with the power of the stone on the mirror), since it isn't fully developed, it leaves the reader wondering as to its purpose in the story. Overall, I did find this an interesting read.

I like to write lyrics and books that inspire and stay with people long after they hear my songs and after they read the last page of my book. I believe that words are powerful, you can motivate and inspire people just by words that you pick up a pen and write."

Back to the 30's - love it!

I love the time period that the main character is drawn to. My grandparents would have been wandering around in that era, visiting clubs, arguing over women, music and money. Great job, again. This is my second purchase of her work.
Congratulations on your progress, becoming a great writer! Our goal as author is to entertain briefly, and you succeeded!

enjoyable short story

Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2018

I agree with others who said this could use more editing, but I also found the story to be uniquely interesting. The author chose a time and place I'd like to read more about. Without spoiling the story, I'd like to learn more about the past character. This short story would make a great prequel for a series of books I'd like to read. With just a little more polish, this short could be a reader magnet.

Novella that includes time travel and a mystery

Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2018

Justina Oceans starts her second year of college and everything changes when she walks through an old mirror in her dorm room and ends up as famous star Laurice Haywoods in 1932. Can she handle pretending to be Laurice and be in the company of her talented musician boyfriend Braston Brawns while she works out why she is being drawn back to 1932?

This is a short novella featuring time travel and the past events that happened to Laurice. I liked the underlying time travel story and the effects of Justina going into the past but I did find that the story was lacking the level of descriptive detail I would have expected. In summary a fairly quick read that was enjoyable although lacking in substance.

This really needs to be proofread, but other than that, it's an enjoyable read. It's somewhat unsophisticated and, even considering the naive narrator, it should really be more complicated. I liked the fact that the heroine had a real motive to travel back in the past, in order to change something.

I so appreciate the author creating real relatable characters and layering the duality of time travel from her college dorm room to a jazz night club where she was a star. I liked how instead of the regular time travel each time she came back time stood still. I don't want to spoil the story for would be readers of this book , but the intrigue is so worth it. I can wait to read her other books set during the Harlem Renaissance.

Nice to read when you just want a bedtime story!

I love the whole idea and story concept. I too found the beginning a little slow and the same words used too often. Two similar sentences if combined would make for tighter writing but, I am now following this Author and hope she keeps on writing for us. :-) <3

she discovered a great deal about her life and how she passed away

Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2017

The Mirror in my dorm room is a short book time travel novel. It is about a college girl named, Justina who happens to walk through a mirror, going back to 1932. While she is exploring the past, she is considered as a celebrity dating a dashing musician. As she returns and reads more on Laurice Haywood, she discovered a great deal about her life and how she passed away.

I found several editing issues within the work which was a shame since I really liked the storyline. Although the book was short, the author manages to include many references to the timeframe she writes about. The plot is created with care, and it is apparent that the work has been researched.

I recommend this book to people who like to read short stories about time travel.
