The Future of Us—Jay Asher and Carolyn
Mackler
It’s 1996 and less than half of all
American high school students have ever used the Internet. Emma just got her
first computer and an America Online CD-ROM. (Remember those? I barely
do.) Emma and her best friend, Josh, power up and log on—and discover
themselves on Facebook, fifteen years in the future. They’re about to find out
their future through Facebook friends, photo albums and status updates.
My Goodreads rating: ★★★★
The Here and Now—Ann Brashares
Follow
the rules. Remember what happened. Never fall in love. These
are the laws seventeen-year-old Prenna James lives by. She immigrated to New
York when she was twelve, except she didn’t come from a different country.
Prenna came from a different time—a future where a mosquito-borne illness has
mutated into a pandemic, killing millions and leaving the world in ruins.
Prenna and the others who escaped to the present day must follow a strict set
of rules: never reveal where they’re from, never interfere with history and
never, ever be intimate with anyone outside their community. Prenna does as
she’s told, believing she can help prevent the plague that will one day ravage
the earth. But everything changes when Prenna falls for Ethan, a boy who goes
to her high school.
My Goodreads rating: ★★★★
Ruby Red series—Kerstin Gier
In spite of Gwen’s ancestors' peculiar
history, she’s lived a relatively normal life so far in London. The
time-traveling gene that runs like a secret thread through the female half of
the family is supposed to have skipped Gwen. She hasn’t been introduced to “the
mysteries” so it comes as an unwelcome surprise when she starts taking sudden
leaps into the past. She’s totally unprepared for time travel, not to mention what
comes with it: fancy clothes, archaic manners, a mysterious secret society and
Gideon, her time-traveling counterpart. He’s obnoxious, a know-it-all and
possibly the best-looking guy she’s seen in any century...
Be sure to continue Gwen's story in the sequels, Sapphire Blue and Emerald Green!

Time Between Us—Tamara
Ireland Stone
Anna and Bennent were never supposed to meet: she lives
in 1995 Chicago and he lives in 2012 San Francisco. But Bennett’s ability to
travel through time and space brings him into Anna’s life and with him, a new
world of adventure and possibility. As their relationship deepens, they face
the reality that time might knock Bennett back where he belongs, even as a
devastating crisis throws everything they believe in to question. Against a
ticking clock, Anna and Bennett are forced to ask themselves how far they can
push the bounds of fate and what consequences they can bear in order to stay
together.
There's also a companion titled Time After Time, which is told from Bennett's POV. It's still on my to-read list!
My Goodreads rating: ★★★★
All Our Yesterdays—Cristin Terrill
Imprisoned in a secret military base, Em has
nothing except the voice of the boy in the cell next door and the list of
instructions she finds taped inside the drain. Only Em can complete the final
instruction. She's tried everything to prevent the creation of a time machine
that will tear the world apart. She holds the proof: a list she has never seen
before, written in her own hand. Each failed attempt in the past has led her to
the same terrible present- imprisoned and tortured by a sadistic man called the
doctor while war rages outside.
My Goodreads status: to-read
I also added Outlander to my to-read pile, and I’m excited to
dive into the book and the rest of the first season! Now let’s go travel
through time!
