Clean time travel??

[Amanda]

Can anyone recommend a good clean time travel book? A few years ago I TRIED reading Outlander because I liked the concept and heard it was fantastic but it is....graphic to say the least! Lately I have been in the mood for a book like Outlander but without all the smut, one I can actually read without throwing up in my mouth a little. I also read A Discovery of Witches and the second in that series - again promising concept but the time travel portion was mind numbingly boring. If this makes sense, I am looking for a book "believable" enough to be enjoyable without a constant nagging "this could never happen" in my head. Any thoughts?

I love "To say nothing of the dog" by Connie Willis. It's one of my favorite books.

I was just about to push my "enter" button, when Marinda said exactly what I was going to. "To Say Nothing of the Dog" (Oxford Time Travel #2)
by Connie Willis is awesome. I loved it.

Thanks ladies! Added to my list but what about the first in the series? Have either of you read Doomsday Book? If so, is it good? Do I have to read one to understand the other?

[Margaret]

I read the first. I am glad I read it as the glimpse of mid-evil England is . . . terrifying? Awesome? Some of the book's time issues were hard to get past - as 'wired telephones' in a future with otherwise amazing electronics, but I suppose our electronic society has surpassed the authors expectations in some ways. I got over it. It was very good too, but I like the second book better AND you don't need to read the first to 'get' the second.

Thanks so much! Any others?

Thanks C! Kearsley is actually one of my favorites already, but I added Second Sight to my list - sounds great :)

This series is for teenagers, but the books are certainly hard to put down, have lots of great time travel going on, and super clean from what I remember:


Gideon the Cutpurse

The Time Thief

Time Quake

All three are by Linda Buckley-Archer

Added to my list! I am totally fine with YA - those sound good. Thanks Terri!

A great one that leans toward YA is Timebound has a little language, but pretty clean otherwise.

Finally got to one of these. I read Gideon the Cutpurse last week (now called The Time Travellers) . I enjoyed it - thanks for the suggestions. I think next I will see if Second Sight is in the library....after I read the 5 books I just got :)
