4 3 2 1, The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane, and Confessions of a Young Nero both stood out to me too! I was disappointed to see that Young Nero is part of a duology though, because I’m not great at remembering to finish series.

In reply to Eva @ The Paperback Princess. All of your opinions are valid! The "heathen" was completely in jest. I loved The Historian because it covered so much territory with detail. I didn't like her second book anywhere near as much. This one will be the decider.

In reply to Catherine. I remember thinking, with The Historian, that's it? Come ON. But it was a long time ago and I was young so maybe it was too nuanced or subtle for me to appreciate at the time. Still wary of any of her other work though. And Our Endless Numbered Days just bored me. And a book about an abduction probably shouldn't bore me.

Oh great list. Thx for compiling this. Ahh yes Paul Auster, quirky good. It looks like I’ll have to read Claire Fuller’s first one in January before her 2nd one. Thx for the tip.

In reply to Susie | Novel Visits. You should read Our Endless Numbered Days. It's a small novel, but packs a punch. Fuller is so gracious. I was part of an online book discussion site (The Socratic Salon) and she joined in the discussion and responded to readers' questions. A real delight. (If you decide to read the book- don't go to the site until after you finish- we discuss spoilers.)

Thanks for your list…..I’ve added a few! Personally, I can’t wait for the new book by J. Courtney Sullivan, Saints for all Occasions!

I didn’t know that Elizabeth Kostova has a new novel coming out. I loved The Historian, so will definitely want to check out her new book. Swimming lessons looks great (somehow I missed Our Endless Numbered Days) and now you have me curious about All Grown Up, too.
