At this time v.s. this time
Hello there. I have a question.
What do you think about the following two sentences? Are they both natural? --
(A) I will be studying in the city library at this time tomorrow.
(B) I will be studying in the city library this time tomorrow.
How about these? --
(C) At this time next week I'll be lying on the white sandy beach.
(D) This time next week I'll be lying on the white sandy beach.

To me, "at this time" suggest a more precise timing, whereas "this time" sounds more general. Don't forget to put a comma after "week" in "C" and "D".
