Late Returns is part of Hill's Full Throttle collection, and was nominated for a Locus award for 2020. It's a time travel story--an old bookmobile seems to have the ability to go back in time and give books from the future to readers that need one last read. It's a sweet story, not dwelling much on paradox. Joe Hill even name checks himself (in a Joan Baez song) in the story. It's a nice way to spend an evening with people that want the best for each other, and find an interesting way to do it. And of course books about books are always tempting to write.
