I'll second a book related to a common phrase, saying, or idiom.
What a terrific group of prompts!
I liked most of the prompts this round. I hope some will get resubmitted.

I would say yes since the narrative is disrupted by jumping back and forth.
A book with a non-linear timelineIt would include books that bounce between the past, present and future, condense time, provide contradictory timelines, mess with time, or ignore time completely.

Alicia wrote: Oh I missed the veteran part of the prompt. Yes, that means ex/past military. That definitely narrows the prompt.I'd still love examples though because I'm coming up blank."
The protagonist from many spy novels/political thrillers/police procedurals are veterans. See books by Brad Thor, Michael Connelly, Brad Taylor, Jack Carr, Ben Coes, etc.
Historical fiction: Inspector Rutledge series by Charles Todd
Many world figures - Elvis, Gal Gadot, Bea Arthur, Doctor Ruth, Queen Elizabeth II, John F Kennedy, Prince Charles, Leo Tolstoy, George Bush, Prince Phillip, Napoleon, George W Bush, Benjamin Netanyahu, Johnny Cash, Jimmy Stewart, Dwight Eisenhower, etc - were in the military. So biographies of them would work.

Yes. A veteran is someone who has left military service, either through retirement or once their tour of duty has ended.

OR
A book in translation that was not originally written in your native language"
Sorry I just saw this. Actually the definition of a book in translation is a book not originally written in your native language. Apparently my attempt to clarify failed. :) Sorry for the confusion.
