If you like Ellis Peters, try a book called "Doomsday Book" by Connie Willis. It's science fiction, but a time-travel novel, and the 'back in time' bit is set in the Middle Ages. I don't want to give anything away, but seriously it's one of the best books I've ever read.

Willis's "To Say Nothing of the Dog" and "Passage" are also brilliant, though not as beautiful as Doomsday Book.

OK, THIS time I'm saving that name to a file so it doesn't get lost in the depths of the Hole...

The sci-fi type books I've like in the past were either kind of combination fantasy and sci-fi OR time travel.

Like...though it has some questionable stuff, and I haven't read the later books in the series...I really liked "Time and Again". Jack Finney.
