I love to read time travel books. My favorite time travel book is "The Mirror" by Marlys Millhiser. It is wonderful. It is the story of a young modern girl who like in "Quantum Leap" she is zapped back in time to live in her grandmothers body. Her grandmother is in her body in the future. What are some of your favorite time travel books?

I think I just read one time travel book..

It was "The Time Traveller's Wife" by Audrey Nifenegger and I loved it, because it was so different from other time trave stories

Beside from the above to anyone who else who likes Time Traveling books...

A Knight in Shining Armor by Jude Deveraux

Quote:

Abandoned by a cruel fate, lovely, thoroughly modern Dougless Montgomery lay weeping upon a cold tombstone in an English church. Suddenly, as if in answer to her prayers, the most extraordinary man appeared.

He was Nicholas Stafford, Earl of Thornwyck...and according to his tombstone he had died in1564. Tall, broad of shoulder, attired in gleaming silver and gold, he was magnificent. Drawn to his side by a bond so sudden and compelling it overshadowed reason, Dougless knew that Nicholas was nothing less than a miracle: a man who would not seek to change her, who found her perfect, fascinating, just as she was.

Yet she could not imagine how strong were the chains that tied them to the past...or the grand adventure that lay before them....

Remembrance by Jude Deveraux

Quote:

A young woman sees a hypnotist and finds herself whisked back in time--and engaged in a rapturous love affair.

Time travel is one of the genres that can classify The Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon. The protagonist travels back 200 years or so from 1945 to the 1740s before the Battle Of Culloden. I think it's a brilliant series.

I am going to check out the first book soon from my library.

Anymore you can think of?

I've read some paranormal romance/historical had that some time travel in it.
But other than that, I did read The Time Travelers Wife.

There's just so much you can do with this topic. I really like when it's something so original and yet really works.

I agree. I recently read a YA time-travel book "Tempest" by Julie Cross. Adds an interesting way of going about this. It's probably a little into the paranormal, since the whole time travel happened to be an ability the character could do.

Any new time travelling books?

Quote:

The Bourne Identity meets Minority Report in this first highly anticipated installment in number-one New York Times best-selling author Kim Harrison's sexy new romantic suspense trilogy, featuring a brilliant special task agent at the top of her field and set in a futuristic Detroit.

During a routine but dangerous Opti task, Peri Reed finds out her trusted partner has made her a corrupt agent. Her unique ability to jump back 40 seconds in time to correct a mistake leaves her vulnerable when her partner, who is responsible for replacing her memory of the event, gives her a false one. But Peri lives and dies on her intuition, and she begins to piece her twisted reality together as she flees her one-time secure situation at Opti and tries to find the truth with a sullen but talented psychologist named Silas who works for the very agency trying to bring the Opti corruption to light.

With Howard, tech and med specialist, and Taf, gun-toting daughter of the opposing grass-roots agency, Silas and Peri try to rebuild her memory of the night she killed her partner, knowing it will put her mental stability in danger. Peri remembers, and thoughts of revenge keep her alive and moving forward as she tries to put an end to Opti, working with the very faction that wants to see her dead

One of the current time travel books I read.

Quote:

Passage, n.
i. A brief section of music composed of a series of notes and flourishes.
ii. A journey by water; a voyage.
iii. The transition from one place to another, across space and time.

In one devastating night, violin prodigy Etta Spencer loses everything she knows and loves. Thrust into an unfamiliar world by a stranger with a dangerous agenda, Etta is certain of only one thing: she has traveled not just miles but years from home. And she’s inherited a legacy she knows nothing about from a family whose existence she’s never heard of. Until now.

Nicholas Carter is content with his life at sea, free from the Ironwoods—a powerful family in the colonies—and the servitude he’s known at their hands. But with the arrival of an unusual passenger on his ship comes the insistent pull of the past that he can’t escape and the family that won’t let him go so easily. Now the Ironwoods are searching for a stolen object of untold value, one they believe only Etta, Nicholas’ passenger, can find. In order to protect her, he must ensure she brings it back to them—whether she wants to or not.

Together, Etta and Nicholas embark on a perilous journey across centuries and continents, piecing together clues left behind by the traveler who will do anything to keep the object out of the Ironwoods’ grasp. But as they get closer to the truth of their search, and the deadly game the Ironwoods are playing, treacherous forces threaten to separate Etta not only from Nicholas but from her path home... forever.

I love time travel.

Some books in this thread I've never read. I'll have to check these out.

I read Stealing Time by Alyson Noel recently. Loved it. Waiting for the next book to come out!!

I also read This Time Tomorrow by Emma Straub not too long ago and I enjoyed it.

**BehrItAll** · 12-24-2022, 09:05 PM

I like that cover with the city in a bottle.

I like Shadow of Night by Deborah Harkness. But it's the second book of a trilogy so read A Discovery of Witches first and there is no time travel there.
