Rowan Coleman’s Summer of Impossible Things is about time travel, but in a very human story. Michael Crichton ‘s Timeline is lots of fun (castles and medieval stuff)
Angeline Fortin’s Laird for All Time series: 1 A Laird for All Time 2 A Time & Place for Every Laird 3 Taken 4 Love in the Time of a Highland Laird 5 A Laird to Hold
@Sean so many, many books. I just read Romeo and Juliet, it was you who convinced me I could do it, and I loved it. I tried Virginia Woolf but gave up. I’ve got Dickens, Wharton, Joyce so many I want to try. I’m having the time of my life with my kindle and the free books!
@Sean accessible, and good. I was afraid the play format would throw me off( the Crucible is the only play I’ve read) but it didn’t. I really flew through it.
It was much different than I expected because it’s more about the time travel and how it affects the future. I still loved it though, and the ending is perfect.
I saw a quote recently where it said Characters are always afraid of time travel and doing one small thing to change the world, and yet, we believe no small thing we do today can make a difference.

Short story- Ray Bradbury’s “The Sound of Thunder.” My freshmen listened to it last week. First time in twenty-one years of teaching that kids thanked me for introducing them to a genre.
Split Second Paradox bound And The Rise and Fall of D.O.D.O. Are all really unique takes on time travel where the actual method of time travel is unique (not just the story) All three are great but it does depend on what sort of books you like. Split second is more “sciency”, DODO is slightly magical, and paradox bound… well the best way to describe it would probably be “historical” as they don’t travel through time but through history
In times like These is a great series (also the name of the first book), and while the Time travel itself isn’t as unique, the story driving it is clever, and the rules of time travel are explained very well Definitely recommend this if you like understanding how and why it works
The Tourist… is a little more complex It’s a conspiracy thriller and time travel is used as the driving force behind the story BUT it’s not directly part of the story (there’s only one event where you, as the reader, actually use a time machine within the book)
It is not an easy read But, if you read it a couple times you get to see a lot of cleverness in the story

@Febinger it’s a good read, Wells is great
@Sean so many, many books. I just read Romeo and Juliet, it was you who convinced me I could do it, and I loved it. I tried Virginia Woolf but gave up. I’ve got Dickens, Wharton, Joyce so many I want to try. I’m having the time of my life with my kindle and the free books!
@Febinger I’m not a Woolf fan either. How did you find Romeo and Juliet ?
@Sean accessible, and good. I was afraid the play format would throw me off( the Crucible is the only play I’ve read) but it didn’t. I really flew through it.
@Febinger glad you enjoyed it ?
Melissa Mayhue’s Daughters of the Glen Series
11.22.63 Steven King… brilliant. Goes back in time to prevent the JFK assassination
It was much different than I expected because it’s more about the time travel and how it affects the future. I still loved it though, and the ending is perfect.

Characters are always afraid of time travel and doing one small thing to change the world, and yet, we believe no small thing we do today can make a difference.

Split Second
Paradox bound
And The Rise and Fall of D.O.D.O.
Are all really unique takes on time travel where the actual method of time travel is unique (not just the story)
All three are great but it does depend on what sort of books you like.
Split second is more “sciency”, DODO is slightly magical, and paradox bound… well the best way to describe it would probably be “historical” as they don’t travel through time but through history
