Are there any tropes in some books you just can’t get enough of?

I like time travel, if that's a trope. I'm always looking for a new take on it as many different stories using it have already been told.
@nkiruanaya
You might enjoy The Anomaly by Hervé le Tellier. Not time travel exactly, but some of the same issues crop up.
@gabe
The Bobiverse has time dilation time travel if that counts.
That was a really good series
It's in my queue. Really looking forward to it. Heard lots of good things.
Have you read Recursion by Blake Crouch? That was the most interesting to take on time travel I've read in a while.
No I haven't, but it looks good. I have read The Wayward Pines Trilogy and Dark Matter, both by Crouch. I liked the Pines. Dark Matter was okay.
Thanks for the tip.
Check out Sea of Tranquility by Emily St. John Mandel, it’s such a good book!
I recently finished Station Eleven and honestly thought it was a bit boring. After that read I was put off of that author. Is Sea of Tranquility on par with Station Eleven? Should I reconsider?
Ooh yeah, if you didn’t enjoy Station Eleven, then you probably wouldn’t enjoy Sea of Tranquility. It’s not exactly the same, but it’s close in terms of style and structure.
