Historical Fiction Bestsellers: Week of Jan. 26

The following titles are shown in order of appearance from

  11/22/63  War Horse

Death of Kings  Death Comes to Pemberley  Water for Elephants

Child 44  Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children  Sarah’s Key

The Invention of Hugo Cabret  Clockwork Prince  The Paris Wife: A Novel

The Night Circus  The Great Gatsby  The Duke Is Mine

These are the books I consider to fall under the large umbrella of the historical fiction genre. Fifteen books out of 150. That's one more than last week, and still down from the impressive genre presence of twenty in the top 150 fifteen weeks ago. Many familiar titles, but Cornwell's newest and Child 44 are new to the list this week!
