Matt Haig is excellent, the Midnight Library but also an older one The Humans.

I recommend The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August by Claire FNF North. The book is about a man who lives the same life repeatedly, remembering each cycle.

The Time Traveler's Wife (American book, so American spelling!).

The Lost Bookshop by Evie Woods. I think most of her books have some element of time travel.

By this time tomorrow by Charlotte Butterfield

The invisible life of Addie LaRue by V E Schwab

I love a time travel book. I would also second The Time Traveller's Wife by Audrey Niffenneger (sp?)

I'm reading 'Yesteryear' by Carol Claire Burke. I am only third of the way through and the time travelling element could be seen in a couple of ways. The writing is very sharp packed full of phrases I wish I had used or will use.

As for uplifting fiction I always enjoy the 'Aga Sagas' for a re read especially Joanna Trollope and Mary Wesley.

I've been reading and thoroughly enjoying Kelley Armstrong's "A Rip Through Time" series.

I loved ...before the coffee gets cold. By Kawaguchi, not normally my type of book but it was recommended and I read the series in the end.
Also The Midnight library, again not my normal reading but loved this too, I now try most books recommended even if not my genre.
Agatha Christie is/was my type
