Reddit mentions of The Time Traveler's Wife

The Time Traveler's Wife by Audry Nieffenegger is worth reading.

I kinda agree with you, but Anita Shreve's Eden Close and Audrey Niffenegger's The Time Traveler's Wife are both touching books, IMO, which might fulfil this request.

My personal favorites are The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver, The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt, The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger, and anything by Madeline L'Engle, S.E. Hinton, or Zadie Smith.

Dearest u/throwawayso30 , wishing you all the best for your surgery tomorrow and I hope the recovery is as swift and painless as possible. You're one amazing, sexy, badass woman, you got this!

Also u/janedoesquestion , what a lovely human being you are. The fact that there are people in the world who care about others like you do makes things seem not so bad, after all. Thank you for being awesome :)

I'd love to give a book idea, but everything I can think of seems a bit too dark... hmmm. Oh, what about The Time Traveller's Wife? I'm not a fan of 'love' type stories but a friend of mine made me read it and it was really good. Hope you get some great suggestions! :)

summer book adventures-

1. [The Thirteenth Tale] (http://www.amazon.com/The-Thirteenth-Tale-A-Novel/dp/B004H8GLXQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1367430308&sr=8-1&keywords=thirteenth+tale) is a great story about an author and her amazing life story. This is a quick read and I often recommend it to others.
   
2. [The Time Traveler's Wife] (http://www.amazon.com/Time-Travelers-Wife-Audrey-Niffenegger/dp/015602943X/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1367430397&sr=1-1&keywords=Times+traveler+wife) This is one of my all time favorite books. It is so sweet and an amazing love story.
   
3. [Where did you go Bernadette?] (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_sabc?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&pageMinusResults=1&suo=1367430443255#/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_9?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=where%20did%20you%20go%20bernadette%20by%20maria%20semple&sprefix=where+did%2Cstripbooks%2C202&rh=i%3Astripbooks%2Ck%3Awhere%20did%20you%20go%20bernadette%20by%20maria%20semple&sepatfbtf=true&tc=1367430445332) This is something I'm currently reading. It is a great read about a woman that runs her life through a virtual assistant but then disappears. It is told well through a series of letters, emails, and messages.
   
4. [Waiting to be Heard] (http://www.amazon.com/Waiting-Be-Heard-A-Memoir/dp/0062217208/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=1L8ON2MX2QPTV&coliid=I3VFG8BJC2ZH6E) This is Amanda Knox's book about her time in Italy. I haven't read it yet but plant to get it soon. If you don't know about the Amanda Knox case google it and you will see how interesting it is. I used to live abroad and this is something I think my mother always feared.
   
5. [The Witch's Daughter] (http://www.amazon.com/The-Witchs-Daughter-Paula-Brackston/dp/125000408X/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=1BGV2L2FWNXQM&coliid=ITZO2ETH2AVQ7) Another book I am hoping to read. It looks really interesting. It is about witches and is a fantasy/historical fiction hybrid.
   
   Good luck finding some great books!

you mentioned being a fangirl; i've been reading some amazing, recent sci fi works written by women authors lately, maybe you'd find them interesting? all 3 of these are among the absolute best sci fi i've ever read:

the time traveller's wife by audrey niffenegger

^ forget about the movie, the book is fantastic

oryx and crake by margaret atwood

^ nice and dark

lilith's brood by octavia e. butler

^ amazon reviews calls it "profoundly evocative, sensual -- and disturbing", which sums it up pretty well

I read The Time Traveler's Wife. Usually I love re-reading books repeatedly, but this one I can't. It's a great book, and I highly recommend it, but one-and-done for me. I can't go through that emotional turmoil again.

The time Traveler's Wife reads like a diary with the additional twist of time travel.

The Time Traveler's Wife was really good, in my opinion. All my girl-friends really liked it too.

As a starting point, maybe try The Time Traveler's Wife?

At only 10 years old it's fairly easy to digest compared to the writing of more... classic literary fiction. Also, I loved it.

Anyways, having looked over my bookshelf, here are some recommendations purely for the sake of recommending. Maybe not spot on what you're looking for, but why not...

Neverwhere. A book I've read about nine times. Because it's awesome.

Time Traveler's Wife. Kind of established/re-ignited my hope and sense of romance. My father isn't much of a reader and usually takes months to go through a single book, but after losing his wife, my stepmother, he went through this in a week and thanked me profusely afterwards.

Island. I'll tell you right off, it's one of those 'intelligent reads'. The end is proclaimed early, it comes as predicted and it's depressing, but the book overall is nice. You read it first, to check :)

Gates of Fire.

Born To Run. Just read this recently. Fun, interesting, quick.

My Mom will give me books that she really enjoys. She has given me Sleep Toward Heaven, Time Traveler's Wife, and The Faraday Girls.

Romance and Science fiction! It's got to be The Time Traveller's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger.

Nothing else comes close my friends.

“Right now we are here, and nothing can mar our perfection, or steal the joy of this perfect moment.”
― Audrey Niffenegger, The Time Traveler's Wife

“Clare, I want to tell you, again, I love you. Our love has been the thread through the labyrinth, the net under the high-wire walker, the only real thing in this strange life of mine that I could ever trust. Tonight I feel that my love for you has more density in this world than I do, myself: as though it could linger on after me and surround you, keep you, hold you.”
― Audrey Niffenegger

The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger. A big book that's taken me 2-3 months to go through. I read a few hours a week and at one point, I misplaced it and went through two other books: the Other Boleyn Girl and George Orwell's 1984. Both incredibly amazing books that I highly recommend!


EDIT: I haven't posted books to The Paper Back Swap in a long time and I'm thinking I'm going to get back into it after hearing about all these good books!
