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
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.
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.
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.
