Timey Wimey Romances To Carry You Over

A historical time loop story! Philip Thane is a pretty terrible person. When he’s voluntold by a family elder for a speech at a small town’s bizarre fall festival, he winds up in the last place he wants to be. But at least he’s met a lovely young woman on the way, and she’s there to see the festival for herself. After mucking up the speech and getting trapped in town because of a snowstorm, he wakes up the next morning…except it’s the previous one again. And again. And again. His only hope is Margaret, the clever, curious woman who inspires him to try to make each day a better version of the previous one, and maybe even become a better person for it.

Amina gets a second chance at life after a violent end to the first time around. Waking up five years in the past, she thinks she’s dreamed up the whole thing, but she remembers things that haven’t happened yet. What will she do with the opportunity to escape the neglect and abuse from her husband, and also the chance to confess her interest to her crush, the doctor she works for as an office manager? Having five years’ worth of unlived memories can cause issues (and does), but it can also make life work out for the better.

What do you call the kind of time-weirdness where you might be sharing the same space, but not at the same time? Aleeza has been transferred to a new dorm room, which turns out to be the room that belonged to a missing student. Studying to be an investigative journalist, Aleeza sets out to discover the mystery of the missing Jay. But in a weird turn of events, she can talk to Jay through their residential student app—at least when they’re both in the room. But not Jay right now—that would be too easy. She’s talking to Jay several months ago, before he went missing. Between the two of them, they might be able to figure out what happened, and stop it from happening this time around.

In a future where humanity has essentially been wiped out, Zera is part of a team exploring the scorched remains of Earth to discover what happened and how they might reverse it. When the organization she works for comes up with time travel, she is picked to be on the first exploratory mission, where she meets Katherine at the literal end of the world. In a very “hello Sweetie” moment, Katherine asks if this is the first time they meet, and so begins an exploration of the storms leading up to the big bad one, and meeting Katherine across decades in the 20th and 21st centuries.
