Are there any novels about time travel that might be similar to Slaughterhouse 5 or The Time Traveler's Wife?
 
Can't think of the name of it, but there's a book about an old-time Irish or Scottish village that appears through the fog every so often, and some guy from the present day finds his way there and falls in love...

And there's Somewhere in Time, by Richard Matheson, which was made into a movie. You can read at least some of it here: http://books.google.com/books?id=rSrP9s8DbSsC&dq=somewhere+in+time&printsec=frontcover&source=bll&ots=-J1HYrteAV&sig=KHUluaNAkOnx2hEYuOZV_bYzjfw&hl=en&ei=WKS9StIth6bwBpvP8aUB&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=11#v=onepage&q=&f=false
 
There is a sub-genre of historical fiction that involves time travel. For instance, right now I am reading "This Time" by Joan Szechtman where King Richard III is brought forward by an amateur historian to set the history straight about him.. he was made to look like a monster by the man who stole his crown. Then their is Connie Willis's excellent "Doomsday Book" about a woman scientist who travels to the 14th century but accidentally lands in the decade of the Black Plague.

You can find these and others like them at http://www.medieval-novels.com
 
The Time Travelers by Caroline b. Cooney. It's a young adult series so not as mature as The Time Travelers's Wife but they're really good.
