No one has mentioned Julian May's books...the Many Colored Land, the Golden Torc, the Non-born King, etc. Really good series IMO.

My favorite is an older book called The Mirror. It is about a woman who looks into a old mirror on the eve of her wedding and finds herself in the body of her grandmother on the eve of her wedding. It is a good one!

This is my absolute "favoritist" book in the whole world! I have a paperback copy that is so brittle from constant reading. (I have to read it at least once a year... even though I know the storyline by heart.) Something about this book compels me. I adore reading (and writing) time travel and haven't really read any that I didn't like. |

I still have that book. The Mirror, by Marlys Millhiser.
Growing up in Colorado (I lived in Boulder for a year) it resonated even more for me. I think I enjoyed Shay as Brandy more than anything else, but that book in its entirety as always been a favorite of mine. |

Shay as Brandy, Brandy as Shay... such a paradox. I know it's just a story, but every time I read The Mirror I spend days and weeks thinking about these two.
They are almost a part of my family. 
I'm just thrilled to know others enjoy this book. No one in real life has even heard of it.  |

Ditto.
And when I tried to tell them about it, they just didn't seem to get it.
And these were Coloradans! Oh well.
Guess it's just one of those hidden gems. |

The plot was not at all predictable.
I might have already posted that one, or maybe this one:
The Little Book
This one was rather convoluted towards the end, but the first half of the book was enthralling.
edited to add:
Time Out of Mind by John Maxim
Every time it snows, Jonathan Corbin sees people and scenes that haven't existed for 100 years. Is he being haunted or has he lost his mind? Sturdevant, the psychiatrist his girlfriend Gwen brings in, has another explanation: Jonathan is in the grip of "genetic memory," in which ancestral recollections, like physical characteristics, are genetically inherited. With Gwen and Sturdevant's encouragement, an engrossing saga unfolds, conceiving love, greed, and murder in 1880s New York, and featuring Teddy Roosevelt, Jay Gould and J. P. Morgan, among othersall from the perspective of Tilden Beckworth, by whom Jonathan seems possessed. ... Combining the elements of a good old-fashioned ghost story and a suspenseful thriller, this is an immensely readable yarn.

Thanks for the recommendations
I will check those two out.
Currently I am in the middle of Time Travelers Wife and FlashForward (book based on the new ABC TV series which is not as good as the book *no suprise*
Did anyone else like the NBC series Journeyman? I really liked it and was bummed they toasted it.
Life on Mars and FlashForward haven't lived up to my expectations. So I'm stuck watchng Quantum leap reruns  |
