I just noticed that Days Without Number is available at Hoopla, for those in the US whose libraries offer Hoopla. No wait list. I'll add the link to the nomination.

I'd like to nominate All Our Wrong Todays by Elan Mastai

Quote:
Elan Mastai's acclaimed debut novel is a story of friendship and family, of unexpected journeys and alternate paths, and of love in its multitude of forms.

It's 2016, and in Tom Barren's world, technology has solved all of humanity's problems—there's no war, no poverty, no under-ripe avocadoes. Unfortunately, Tom isn't happy. He's lost the girl of his dreams. And what do you do when you're heartbroken and have a time machine? Something stupid.

Finding himself stranded in a terrible alternate reality—which we immediately recognize as our 2016—Tom is desperate to fix his mistake and go home. Right up until the moment he discovers wonderfully unexpected versions of his family, his career, and the woman who may just be the love of his life.

Now Tom faces an impossible choice. Go back to his perfect but loveless life. Or stay in our messy reality with a soulmate by his side. His search for the answer takes him across continents and timelines in a quest to figure out, finally, who he really is and what his future—our future—is supposed to be.

Filled with humor and heart and packed with insight, intelligence, and mind-bending invention, All Our Wrong Todays is a powerful and moving story of life, loss, and love.

Jon, the Scribd link for All Our Wrong Todays is an audiobook. It doesn't appear to be available for an ebook.

Also your Overdrive link gives me this message.

I'm not having much luck. A favourite of mine is Replay by Ken Grimwood. Once again I can't find the ebook version on Amazon or Kobo in the UK.

Ok, here goes. It's not one I've read, but is on my TBRL. With my last ticket I'll nominate Time and Again by Jack Finney:

Quote:
One of the most beloved tales of our time!
Science fiction, mystery, a passionate love story, and a detailed history of Old New York blend together in Jack Finney's spellbinding story of a young man enlisted in a secret Government experiment.
Transported from the mid-twentieth century to New York City in the year 1882, Si Morley walks the fashionable "Ladies' Mile" of Broadway, is enchanted by the jingling sleigh bells in Central Park, and solves a 20th-century mystery by discovering its 19th-century roots. Falling in love with a beautiful young woman, he ultimately finds himself forced to choose between his lives in the present and the past.
A story that will remain in the reader's memory, "Time and Again" is a remarkable blending of the troubled present and a nostalgic past, made vivid and extraordinarily moving by the images of a time that was...and perhaps still is.

Second.

I read this a long time ago, back when I still read paper. I've got the ebook, but I've been almost afraid to re-read for fear that a re-read wouldn't match up to the wonderful memories I have of the book.

I found the audiobook on Hoopla, but take care to get the unabridged version, they also have an abridgement.

The paper and ebook versions include photos that, as I recall, do add to the atmosphere created by the story.

Also listed on Overdrive, but not at my library.
