Let the scavenger hunt begin! I'm curious to see what book titles fit this prompt.

I've had Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil on my TBR for ages. I think 2018 might just be the year to read it!
4.50 From Paddington/They Do It With Mirrors Couldnt find it without the "They do it with mirrors" in the title. But its Agatha Christie.
'Round Midnight was good. I suspect midnight will be the most popular time of day, followed closely by noon. :)
Dusk or Dark or Dawn or Day by Seanan McGuire would work. It doesn't say "midnight" or "noon," but I think dusk and dawn could be considered times of day. I also feel that times like sunrise and sunset could work, as well as morning, afternoon, evening, night...Also:
Midnight Crossroad by Charlaine Harris
Midnight at the Bright Ideas Bookstore by Matthew J. Sullivan
Home by Morning by Alexis Harrington
The Saturday Evening Girls Club: A Novel by Jane Healey
The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
Night Road by Kristin Hannah
The Night Gardener by Jonathan Auxier
The River at Night by Erica Ferencik
Friday Night Lights: A Town, a Team, and a Dream by H.G. Bissinger
Here are some Goodreads lists:
Lists with Time in the title
I know there are more lists. I might "flex" this category and decide that very general times like "night" or "morning" are good enough.

Evening Class by Maeve Binchy (my favorite of hers)I Shall Wear Midnight by Terry Pratchett
The Scottie Barked At Midnight
I think I'm going to read The Gates of Twilight which has been sitting on my shelf for a while. I liked it when I read it years ago so we shall see how it holds up.
Think I'm going to go with Goodnight Mister Tomalso on my TBR list:
The Owl Always Hunts At Night
Our Souls at Night
Four Past Midnight by Stephen King, a collection of four novellas ("The Langoliers", "The Sun Dog", "Secret Window, Secret Garden", and "The Library Policeman"). "The Langoliers" will also fit the Time Travel prompt :)

My TBR is full of books that fit. How to choose???? ;)Lydia Cassat Reading the Morning Paper
Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil
Night in Shanghai
Our Souls at Night
Midnight at the Bright Ideas Bookstore
Sleepless Nights
The Night Circus
Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls: 100 Tales of Extraordinary Women
Darkness at NoonRed Sky at Morning: A Novel
Twilight by William Gay (It's southern gothic, not sparkly vampires!]
If I can wait, I'm going to use Something More Than Night for this one. I don't know if it's any good, but I love the cover, and the summary got me hooked up pretty bad.
I found a Dean Koontz one!!! I love him and wanted to read one of his books in 2018! So here you go! :) "Twilight Eyes"https://images.gr-assets.com/books/13...
Kitty and the Midnight Hour is a fun read. I'm sure I have all sorts of "night" books on my shelves, but the only one that comes to mind at the moment is Night Music.
I'm a romance junkie so going with the Nicholas Sparks Nights in Rodanthe. I have another mini-personal reading challenge to read all of his books, as well as a few other authors. So I might as well 'kill two birds with one stone' :)
I will probably read Kitty and the Midnight Hour for my local author. If I want to read more of the series, I might use that one here instead. Good Morning, Midnight would fit here or in the books I meant to read in 2017.
Dusk or Dark or Dawn or Day maybe.
Sunrise if I can fit in the whole series.
West of Sunset
Sunset Park
The Gloaming
Night by Elie Wiesel and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon are both terrific reads.

Ohhhh I LOVE Evening Class. Might be time for another reread!
I also loved Emma in the Night.
I'm planning on reading The Night Manager. I bought it when the BBC did a TV adaptation, and haven't got round to reading it (haven't got round to watching the TV series either!)
I've been meaning to read more Octavia Butler and will take this opportunity to start the Xenogenesis trilogy which starts with Dawn.
I like to use the "books mentioned in this topic" list to choose my challenge books, so here are several to add to the list:Good Morning, Midnight Lily Brooks-Dalton
And Every Morning the Way Home Gets Longer and Longer Fredrik Backman
Come Sundown Nora Roberts
The Last Days of Night Graham Moore
The Ninth Hour Alice McDermott
A Woman in the Polar Night Christiane Ritter
Midnight Riot Ben Aaronovitch
Death in the Afternoon Ernest Hemingway
At the thrift store today I picked up a copy of Stories for Nighttime and Some for the Day. I don't usually go for collections of unconnected short stories, but this one looked interesting.
I'll be reading The Wrath and the Dawn for this one, but here are some recs!Fly by Night by Frances Hardinge
Night by Elie Wiesel
The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
