Yes! My penchant is for time travel books that could actually happen. Even if it is not possible (because time travel backwards is not possible) if the author *tries* to explain how going backwards in time is possible, then I like it. So let me give you a few:
1) Split Second by Douglas E. Richards - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... - this is THE book for showing how time travel backwards might be possible, as evidenced by the villain's occasional 5 page explanations. Regardless, it is worth it, and a great tale.
2) Recursion by Blake Crouch - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4... - this takes a WAY different approach to time travel but again - it could work, in theory, maybe - you get my point. Crouch tries - and regardless, like Split Second - it is a great tale.
And finally ahem ahem
3) Time Capsel by Jonathan Maas - This read-in-one-sitting tale is about a woman (named Capsel) who travels forward in time via a stasis-inducing Time Capsule. What is her purpose, and what does she find? You will find out both, in a copy that I'd be happy to comp (DM me for a no-strings attached mailing or Kindle comp), if I have not already haha https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
Regardless - Richard is the best!
Oh and Ted Chiang (anything) and Hugh Howey's Machine Learning are not about Time Travel directly, but are beyond worth it.

Jonathan Maas:
Jonathan, just read #EOTW and really enjoyed it. Not often you find a book that so smoothly covers such broad range of intellectual thought and is fun and fast paced. As a futurist, and fellow writer, I'm particularly interested in your publishing choices. It seems to me that you've developed an interesting hybrid. More than just self-published. Would you be willing to share your thoughts on the future of publishing?
