Six of the best time-travel titles

Michelle Maryk graduated from Cornell University with a degree in English and attended the Yale Writer’s Workshop.

For the better part of twenty-five years, she’s been a successful voiceover, on-camera commercial, and comedic actor, and she is a dual Swedish and US citizen.

The Found Object Society is her debut novel.

At Oprah Daily Maryk tagged six of the best time-travel books. One entry on the list:
The Paradox Hotel, by Rob Hart

Time travel for the ultrarich? Check. Powerful government entities privatizing the technology for their dubious gain? Check. A grieving female security officer trying to solve a murder while slipping between timelines against her will? Check and check. The time portal is starting to glitch; baby dinosaurs keep popping up; and things are going all kinds of wrong at the Paradox Hotel. Hart masterfully melds noir, sci-fi, and thriller genres in this wild and fast-paced ride.
