Have you read 'Replay' by Ken Grimason.
'Somwhere in Time' by Richard Matheson
Time and again by Jack Finney ( he wrote another one too but can't remember its title)
A lot of Barbara Erskine's books are about going back in time but not necessarily time travel!
'Cross Stitch' by Diana Gabaldon is about a woman that goes back in time from 1945 to 1743. I really loved it, are these any good to you??

How about:
'End Of Eternity' (Isaac Asimov)
'Anubis Gates' (Tim Powers)
'Guardians Of Time' (Poul Anderson)
'Flight Of The Horse' (Larry Niven)

If you like to go back in time rather than forward I recommend Doomsday Book by Connie Willis. I read it years ago but it still remains one of my favourites.
I've just read Timeline by Michael Crichton which was enjoyable but not the best I've read. Though it's a matter of taste as my other half thought it was really good.

Doomsday Book by Connie Willis is fabulous and well worth a read. In fact most of her books contain some time travel and are all excellent.

Most definitly The End of Eternity by Isacc Asimov, the best time travel story ever! Also try The Accidental Time machine by Joe Haldeman, I've got it listed for sale! Timescape by Gregory Benford is an excellent novel although it is about messages sent through time rather than time travel and is very prophetic and apt for the time we live in.
