Here's the Time Travel Date Scavenger Hunt Group Challenge:
Find characters in time travel novels (not movies) who travel TO the following times in history.

Each person participating should copy the most recent version of the list, adding the time traveling character's name and novel name to the right of the date. This is a group challenge, so we're collectively trying to fill in all the dates.

Please, no cheating by finding someone's pre-created list out there ... because ... what's the fun in that? Use books that you personally have already read or are reading. I've added one from our last fiction group read to get us started. Adding in the exact date is optional.

Mika wrote: "Is it ok to double? For example, Jake Epping was in the 1950's as well as the 1960's, and other novels have been in some of the dates already taken."

Yes, it's fine to double up if a character visited a time not already taken.
