“Bring the Jubilee” by Ward Moore –
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/91099.Bring_the_Jubilee
*The Shining Girls* by Lauren Beukes
Michael Crichton’s **Timeline** has a group of grad students go back to 14th century France to investigate a mystery while another group stays in the present to assist/protect them. Much of the story is set in the past, depicting the brutality of life back then.
Robert A. Heinlein’s **The Door Into Summer**. An engineer bounces between the future and the present. (Written in 1957.)
Stephen King’s **11/22/63**. A man goes back in time in an effort to prevent the assassination of JFK.
Maybe Next Time by Cesca Major
The time traveller’s wife – Audrey Niffenegger
The end of eternity – Isaac Asimov
Life After Life by Kate Atkinson
The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton
The 22 Murders of Madison May by Max Barry (a little bit more alternate universe)
This is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Brooks
Recursion blake crouch
The Oxford Time Travel series by Connie Willis
Long Division by Keise Laymon
Slaughter House five, a classic.
Recursion, by Blake Crouch. His book, Dark Matter, also deals with similar concepts, but I always feel that Dark Matter is his most popular work, while Recursion is a better, more rewarding read.
Blackout/All Clear by Connie Willis. The premise is that time travel exists and historians use it to study the past first-hand. This particular duology takes place in WWII.
There are a couple more in the series, too: Doomsday Book, and To Say Nothing of the Dog. The most amusing is TSNOTD, and the most hopeful is Blackout/All Clear. Doomsday Book is brilliant but darker.
It’s YA, but does the time loop thing well: Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver. A teenage girl is killed in a car crash and is forced to live the day over and over until she gets it right.
11.22.63 by Stephen King
End of an Era by Robert J. Sawyer
The Future of Another Timeline by Annalee Newitz
Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi.
The first book in a five book series. The title tells the premise, you can travel back in time for as long as a cup of coffee stays hot. Fast read, low stakes, good.
Outlander, DIana Gabaldon
They’ve already been mentioned, but I will pile on with 11/22/63 and the Outlander series
Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley has a very novel concept, and I enjoyed it.
The Psychology of Time Travel by Kate Mascarenhas was another interesting take on the genre.
