If you loved the St Mary’s chronicles/ Time police series, what other books would you suggest?

[JumpLeadsForTwo]

As per the title. I know there are a few of us on Mumsnet who love these! Not necessarily looking for a series, but love the time travel aspect of these books, so preferably along those lines. I’ve read some of Jodi Taylor’s other books, but not quite as gripping as the SM/ TP ones. Thanks!

You've probably already discovered Connie Willis?

I've been recommended The Ministry of Time, a standalone (I think) by Kaliane Bradley, by a friend who shared my love for the chronicles of St Mary's. I've saved it for my holiday in a few weeks, with high hopes.

Similar in terms of an elevated voice, scholarly whimsy, humour and adventure (including time-travel, though that's not the main focus) with a side-heap of romance, there's Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Fairies trilogy.

I quite liked A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness which is romantic fantasy with time travel later in the trilogy, but the prose is less elevated so YMMV.

Before the Coffee gets Cold is a stand alone in translation from the Japanese; magical realism rather than fantasy. I enjoyed the time travel premise at its heart, but as a feminist found it enraging.

There are off the top of my head... will have a look on my kindle for some more.

Some great ideas - not read any of them so thank you!
