I'm reading Almost Midnight by Rainbow Rowell for this one. It's a short story, but I've been meaning to read it and just got my beautiful copy in the mail last week.

I am definitely going to read Lee Child's The Midnight Line, just published. Love the Jack Reacher Book.

Thanks!
I'm thinking I can read Golden Son for next in a series and Morning Star for this one..If anyone wanted to read the whole series, Red Rising fits the prompt for set on another planet.

Bitter Night by Diana Pharaoh Francis
Blood Meridian, or the Evening Redness in the West by Cormac McCarthy
Guns of the Dawn by Adrian Tchaikovsky
The Language of Thorns: Midnight Tales and Dangerous Magic by Leigh Bardugo
Live by Night by Dennis Lehane
The Night Bird by Brian Freeman
The Night Market by Jonathan Moore
Night Shift by Stephen King
Night Shift by Lilith Saintcrow
Nightblade by Ryan Kirk
Nightblade's Vengeance by Ryan Kirk
My options:Daybook: The Journal of an Artist
The Obscene Bird of Night
Later the Same Day
One Day I Will Write About This Place: A Memoir
Night and Day
The Golden Days
The Time: Night
West with the Night
The Night Watch
Darkness at Noon

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been recommended it, I don’t know why it’s taken me so long to get to it. Though, I just found out within the last few years that it wasn’t a stand alone. I haven’t heard much on the others, hopefully you enjoy it as much.
I have The Queen of the Night sitting on my bookshelf at home -- so I'm finally going to get to read that for this prompt!
Angela wrote: "I will probably go with Night Film"Such a good idea, Angela! I've been wanting to read that one forever.. would you like to do a buddy read with me?
Highly recommend The Midnight Watch by David Dyer and The Last Days of Night by Graham Moore. Two of my favourite reads of 2017!
I'm tag-teaming the PS challenge with a "Read My Shelf" challenge, so I'm going to go with The Day of the Duchess for this one!
For those who enjoy fantasy and fairy tell retellings, I loved Princess of the Midnight Ball and all the others in the series.
I am sure a lot of these were already mentioned: Goodnight, Mr Tom (Could also count as a childhood classic)

I'm going to take this opportunity to read Six of Crows, I think. Been meaning to! https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
So it looks like it can be a broader time of day like night, evening, noon; it doesn't have to be a specific time, i.e. 2am?
Katy wrote: "So it looks like it can be a broader time of day like night, evening, noon; it doesn't have to be a specific time, i.e. 2am?"Right. There are a couple of examples people have found for specific times, but those are definitely harder to find. More broad or more specific, either way works.
More suggestions:The Night Ocean
I'll Go to Bed at Noon
The World In The Evening
2 A.M. at The Cat's Pajamas
Good Morning, Midnight
Morning Star
A Midsummer Night's Dream
Night Shift
Mother Night

Last Night at the Lobster by Stewart O'Nan would be another possibility for this one. I haven't read it but lots of people I know liked it.
Brittany wrote: "The 10 PM Question"I'm reading The 10PM Question too! I was tossing up between using it for this prompt or the local author one (I'm trying to do a different book for each one rather than double-dipping). I ended up going with the local author one though, since Kate De Goldi is from the same city as me and there aren't many others that are.
