One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston

Of course our book of the month is on the top of this list!

For a cynical twenty-three-year-old August, moving to New York City is supposed to prove her right: that things like magic and cinematic love stories don’t exist, and the only smart way is to go through life is alone.

But then, she notices this gorgeous girl on the train named Jane. August’s subway crush becomes the best part of her day, but pretty soon, she discovers there’s one big problem: Jane doesn’t just look like an old school punk rocker. She’s literally displaced in time from the 1970s.

The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle

Evelyn Hardcastle will be murdered at 11:00 p.m. There are eight days, and eight witnesses for you to inhabit. Evelyn Hardcastle will die eery day until Aiden Bishop can identify her killer and break the cycle. But every time the day begins again, Aiden wakes up in the body of a different guest.

This is more of a time-loop story than one of time-travel, but to be placed in the mind of different guests is most intriguing.


Here and Now and Then by Mike Chen
