Time Traveler

Time Traveler | Joyce Carol Oates

Favorite genre of many!

I am gauging interest in forming a group dedicated to historical fiction? My idea was to pick a time period and/or location and you choose a book for the prompt, helping those TBR piles. One prompt a month or set for the year? Open to other ideas though.

If interested share your ideas and tell me your favorite time period.

BarkingMadRead Oh fun! I would be interested. 1y

ChaoticMissAdventures I love this!! Historical fiction is one of my favorites and probably the one I read most of, I do avoid most things WWII unless the author is Jewish. Would assume we could join some months and not others? I would love to discuss the books and different times and cultures more! 1y

rubyslippersreads This is very tempting. 1y

Rachel52 Great idea, I love historical fiction 1y

Desha My reading plate is stacked but this sounds like a lot of fun! Maybe I can join in on those months I‘m able to?? 📚♥️ 1y

dabbe Me, too! Lately I've been leaning towards 19th century writing, but I'm open to any period. 1y

Hello my fellow Littens! I read a great time travel book recently and loved it! I‘m looking for recommendations for some other great time travel books with a historical fiction aspect. I own all of the Outlander books and love the ones I‘ve read so far. Bonus points for a good #audiobook recommendation!

P.S. Jace says hi! 👋🏻🤗❤️

Purpleness If you‘d be interested in trying a less serious series, try Jodi Taylor‘s series about a historical research facility that uses time travel.

Just One Damned Thing After Another

JenlovesJT47 @Megabooks I saw the movie years ago and always wanted to read the book. Thank you! 🤗 3y

JenlovesJT47 @Purpleness thank you!! I‘ve had this one on my radar for awhile and I think I even have some of the audiobooks I got when they were on sale. Will have to check it out soon! 🤗 3y

JenlovesJT47 @GingerAntics I know! 😱 he‘s getting pretty tall, growing like a weed. Time flies! 🤗😘 3y

Megabooks I watched the movie first too and read the audiobook a few years later. They‘re a little different but I enjoyed both! (edited) 3y

CaitZ Connie Willis is another great author for time travel books - To Say Nothing of the Dog, The Doomsday Book, and Blackout and All Clear. 👋 Jace 3y

Soubhiville I read this a couple months ago. It‘s kind of time travel in a Groundhog Day/ Quantam Leap/ Agatha Christie way- I know that sounds bizarre, but I really liked it:

The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle

Soubhiville And this one is a sci-fi novella with some time travel that isn‘t the main focus, but I thought it was really cool:

Gods, Monsters and the Lucky Peach

TheSpineView Also The Time Traveler's Wife

Valley of the Moon

Oryx

Rise and Fall of D.O.D.O.

MaleficentBookDragon @Soubhiville I had a rough time with the first chapter, but then I couldn‘t put it down. One of my favorite books last year.

The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle

MaleficentBookDragon Not really historical, but my favorite time travel-ish book is

Recursion

JenlovesJT47 @CaitZ sorry for the delayed response, Jace says hi! 👋🏻 Sounds great, thanks for the recommendation! Hug 3y

JenlovesJT47 @Soubhiville sorry for the delayed response! I actually own The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle and I‘m going to bump it to the top of my list. The novella also sounds great, I‘m going to check and see if they have it at my library. Thanks for the recommendations! 🤗 3y

JenlovesJT47 @TheSpineView @Oryx sorry for the delayed response, thank you for the recommendations! I‘ve added them to my TBR. 🤗 3y

JenlovesJT47 @MaleficentBookDragon sorry for the delayed response, thank you for the recommendations! I own Recursion and am going to bump it up to the top of my BOTM list. 🤗 3y
