It’s Day 3 of my 30 Days of Writing project. Since it’s Tuesday, I’m bringing you a book that I recently added to my to-be-read list.
Time Travel for Beginners by Jaclyn Moriarty was published on August 4, 2026. This is a new-to-me author, but this book caught my eye because it’s about time travel!
I just glanced at the page count and at 544 pages, I may have to consider reading the e-book and listening to the audiobook so I can switch back and forth. The audio is 14 hours and narrated by Kellie Jones, who would also be a new-to-me narrator!
Summary from the publisher:
On a bustling road in Sydney, Australia, lies a nondescript storefront known simply as the Time Travel Agency. Inside, you’ll be welcomed by the smell of fresh-brewed coffee, a selection of baked goods…and the question, Where in time do you wish to go?
The guidelines are simple: you can go whenever you wish into the past, and there’s no fear of altering the present. Have tea with Jane Austen, scream at a Beatles concert, witness the Olympics in ancient Greece. Perhaps a more personal trip? Visit your long-lost grandmother, recapture the heady days of your youth, return to the idyllic time when your teen was a babbling baby—or watch yourself make the one decision that changed everything.
Is it a hoax? And if it’s real, what’s the catch?
When single mother Anna is offered a job at the agency, she glimpses the possibility of happiness. Meanwhile, Teddy’s a customer hoping to untangle his recently imploded marriage. And Jade, who has a deeply buried secret, despises the agency for offering false hope.
In Jaclyn Moriarty’s incandescent novel, Anna, Teddy, and Jade leap headlong into time, hurtling on a crash course toward one another. At turns entertaining and illuminating, Time Travel for Beginners explores the moments, big and small, that shape our destiny.
