Historical Fiction Bestsellers: Week of Dec. 22

The following titles are shown in order of appearance from

  11/22/63  Clockwork Prince

Death Comes to Pemberley  War Horse  Water for Elephants

Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children  Sarah’s Key  The Land of Painted Caves

The Night Circus  The Scottish Prisoner  The Paris Wife: A Novel

The Invention of Hugo Cabret

These are the books I consider to fall under the large umbrella of the historical fiction genre.Thirteen books out of 150. That's one less than last week, and down from the impressive genre presence of twenty in the top 150 ten weeks ago, and no romances this week.

As always, write for yourself, but it never hurts to keep an eye on what's selling in today's market, and to take a look at what these authors are doing right!
