When I googled looking for rec lists last night, they all started with Outlander and Time Traveler's Wife. And trawling for books without recs, I'm likely to end up with something like the time-traveling Viking Navy SEALS, which would definitely invoke the book against wall clause.
I have this vague memory of loving a YA book when I was a kid that was about a girl transported back to medieval England and posing as a squire. (I actually wrote for a class assignment a story about a girl totally not at all like me time travelling back (in a washing machine?) and becoming a cabin boy on Sir Francis Drake's ship.) I want something like THAT. I don't want something about how manly macho men used to be before feminism made them all wimpy.
