One More 2011 Challenge: Time Travel
Science fiction is one of my favorite genres. A lot of what I read is science or science fiction, and time travel stories are my favorite.
When I saw that Alyce of at home with books was hosting the 2011 Time Travel Challenge, I had to add one more challenge for the year.
The Rules:
Decide how many time travel books you want to read and then read them before the end of 2011 – that’s it! (The challenge goes from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2011.)
Sign up with Mr. Linky and you’re done.
Alyce has put together a very nice list of time travel books to get you started. There are a few gems there. A couple of my all-time favorites are Replay by Ken Grimwood and Time and Again by Jack Finney. Another favorite of mine, but not on the list, is the often overlooked Lightening by Dean Koontz.
My goal is to read six books. Tentative selections are:
1. How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe by Charles Yu
2. Kindred by Octavia E. Butler
3. Outlander by Diana Gabaldon
4. Blackout by Connie Willis
5.
6.
These titles are subject to change on a whim as can happen if I stumble across something more enticing, but the number of books will remain at six.
I’ll be creating individual pages for my challenges and logging the books as I read them.

Good luck with this challenge, Leslie! Outlander is an excellent choice (and the only one I’ve read on your list). Maybe you will continue with the series. I purchased Dragonfly in Amber after reading Outlander, but I haven’t read the second book yet.

Good luck with the challenge! I hope to find some time to update the Time Travel book list soon because I’ve been getting a lot of input for books that aren’t on the list.
I loved the Outlander books – the first two in the series are my favorite.

I read the first five in the Outlander series. Loved the first couple, but then got bored with it in the fifth book. Her books became so long and drawn out. Still, a great first book though. Good luck with the challenge.
