Just to make it more fun, I'm going to share my TOP TEN TIME TRAVEL NOVELS. As usual, I'll give my list a kid lit twist, focusing on middle grade and YA. Some of these are reviewed elsewhere on my blog--just click on the asterisk to go to my review.

I've been wanting to read Miss Peregrine... forever now. I really should pick it up.
Oh my, I love your list. Charlie Bone, When You Reach Me, Tom's Midnight Garden - it has it all! There's a few here that I'll be popping on my TBR list as well. Thanks! Here's my list:

Jade, Miss Peregrine starts a little slow, but once it took off, I was hooked.
Bookshelf Gargoyle, thanks for the comment. I love your persona & your blog!
I haven't read some of these, but I loved When You Reach Me. Time travel can be a hard thing to pull off, and I enjoy reading the different ways writers accomplish it.
Since I'm currently brainstorming a time travel novel, this list couldn't be more timely! (Did I just make a pun?) I haven't heard of a couple of these--will definitely check them out!
I wish this list was as easy to me as it was to you! I think as much as I like reading though, I don't read as much as everyone else and my book amnesia is so bad that when it comes to remembering a certain thing or theme... nope! Love your list though, especially since it's so unique!
Barbara, me too... not sure I could pull one off, but I would love to try someday.
Anna, how cool! Can't wait to see what you come up with!
Thanks, Asti. I like the phrase "book amnesia"--I get that, too. I try to keep an up-to-date list of what I am reading so I can go back and refresh my memory when it fails.
Great list for this time-travel junkie ... I've only read half of them. So thank you!
I've read A Swiftly Tilting Planet, but it's been so long ago that I can't remember a thing about it! I need to refresh myself on those books, b/c I do remember that I really liked them.
Glad you found some new ones, Vijaya!
Leandra, I'm a big fan of Madeleine L'Engle, and I keep meaning to reread the whole series. Maybe this is the summer to do it...
Yay for Time Travel fun! This is a great list, and thanks for the reminder that I need to review a few of these (When You Reach Me in particular) for my Time Slip Tuesday thing...I am up to 189 time travel reviews.
I love your timeslip Tuesdays, Charlotte! Hope everyone will hop over to your blog for the latest and greatest in kids' time travel literature.
Awesome roundup! I've been in a bit of a reading slump this week so I'll add some of these that I haven't read to the TBR list! :D Thanks!
Thanks, Jess--enjoy!
Ah, more books for my pile!
I know, Marcia. Too many books!
