2302019 Oh man, I remember loving A Wrinkle in Time when I was a kid. I must have read it/listened to it a thousand times, and then all the sequels too! That's probably my favorite time travel book.

1843983 Oh, the Rosie books ny Ann Carroll! I used to love them as a kid. The first one is called Rosie's Quest. It's brilliant!

2380713 The only two time travel books I can think of right now are: The Time Traveler's Wife and the Doomsday Book.

2391930 Guess I'll jump on board. The Time Traveler's Wife was just beyond fantastic. I read FlashForward but it was iffy.

1518370 I recently read The Mirror and that had to do with time travel. I thought it was pretty good actually.

936208 Not strictly "YA" but young adults can definitely handle (and enjoy!) these:

1. The Restaurant at the End of the Universe (Douglas Adams) -- but really, the entire Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series
2. Speaker for the Dead (Orson Scott Card) -- the rest of the Ender's Saga is pretty good, too.

Ummm.. this is a Japanese animated film and not a novel (though it's based on a Japanese novella!), but: The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. If time travel and YA is your thing, you'll DEFINITELY like it.

1330074 Oh I love Time Travel books, has anyone read "Timeline"? An amazing book, the movie not so much.

I like meeting authors too, where I work at a bookstore I get to meet a lot of them. Last year I organized a group author signing at my store, we had eight authors there at the same time, it was great!

841652 I like meeting authors, because it's always a surprise. You don't really know what a lot of them look like, so when they show up, it's like "Wow! Really? I love you!" Haha.

841652 Speaking of Outlander, I totally met the author Diana Gabaldon today at work. How cool is that?

1100684 Aww I was hoping for some more variety! unfortunately I haven't read too many adult time travel books either..but there are so many good kids ones! Three Lives to Live A Novel,The People in Pineapple Place,Half Magic, A Wrinkle in Time, i could goon forever....anyway, back to adult books, I do like Timeline and The Time Traveler's Wife I think i may start on the Eyre Affair, thanks for the suggestion Ashley.

Any good time traveling books you read or hear of send my way!

1436936 I've got Time Traveler's Wife too.. but have yet to read it. I've also got a few of the Outlander series books to read too. I heard they were really good.


message 5: by Kelsey (new)

841652 Me too. The Time Traveler's wife. It's one of my favorite books of all time. I don't know that I've read many time travel books, but I remember liking one when I was a kid called Out of Time.


message 4: by Jamie, singer of the job searching blues (new)

1518370 I can't say I've read any..but I do have The Time Traveler's Wife on my list.

1238671 I think the only one I have read is The Time Traveler's wife. I loved it! :) It was absolutely stunning and wonderful.



message 2: by Annette (new)

704101 The Time Traveler's Wife is my favorite by far. I had a little trouble getting into it at first but by the end it was one of my favorites.
