Oona Out of Order by Margarita Montimore (2020

 

National Bestseller

A Good Morning America Book Club Pick

If you’re looking for something different, try the quirky Oona Out of Order. It isn’t really a romance or a time travel, it’s the story of a girl and her life. But not just any girl. We first meet Oona Lockhart in 1982 at a New Year’s Eve party where, at the stroke of midnight she will turn 19. Oona’s life is perfect, she has a boyfriend she is crazy about, she plays in a band, and has a family and friends who love her, but everything is about to change.

At midnight Oona faints and wakes up in 2015 in her fifty-one-year-old body. She is greeted by a friendly stranger who seems to know her. Oona finds herself in a beautiful home she apparently owns, along with a healthy stock portfolio to support her. Oona will remain in 2015 until her next birthday when the same thing will happen again and every birthday after that. Will Oona move forward or backwards in time? Will she meet up with the people she has left behind? Oona never knows where she will land and needs to be prepared for anything.

A Murder in Time (Kendra Donovan #1) by Julie McElwain (2016)

 

I love a good mystery and time travel romances.  This, the first of a series of five (so far), combines both genres.  Kendra Donovan, a rogue FBI agent, goes to a party at Aldrich Castle in the 21^st century bent on murder.  She enters a stairwell and emerges during a party in the same castle in 1815.  Fortunately for Kendra the owner of the castle, the Duke of Aldrich, is very open minded and he accepts her as his American ward.  A murder takes place on the grounds of the castle and the Duke and Kendra, with the able assistance of Bow Street Runner Sam Kelly, set out to solve the crime.  Without the aid of 21^st century technology, how is Kendra going to accomplish that? 

There have been five titles in this series and the EPL library has all of them.

In Five Years by Rebecca Serle (2020)

 

Lawyer Dannie Cohan has a five-year plan for her life, and she is right on track to achieve it.  On the night her boyfriend proposes, she goes to sleep and wakes up, in a different apartment, with a different ring on her finger, and beside a very different man. The date on the TV news is December 15, 2025, five years in the future.   Dannie wakes again and is back in 2020 in her own apartment.  The dream feels like more than a dream, but Dannie doesn’t believe in visions. That is, until four-and-a-half years later, when Dannie meets the man from her long-ago vision. Reviews called this a book to read in one setting and I did just that.
