    I haven't heard of most of these, though I have The Female Quixote on the TBR stacks - so yay, more new books to explore :) I have to say that I've never thought of Agatha Christie as a funny writer, and I can't remember if I've read The Seven Dials Mystery - so I am intrigued.

      Both books were a lot of fun to read. Hope you enjoy The Female Quixote when you get around to reading it. :)

    What an interesting list! I haven't read many of those but I have been wanting to read The Female Quixote and Mayhem so I'm pleased you enjoyed them both.

      Both are very enjoyable reads. (And VERY different from each other.) But that's what I like in books...variety. :)

      Arabella lives in a fantasy world...and the poor guys around her trying to cope with her romantic notions...it totally made me laugh. I hope you enjoy it, too!

      Reading 1914 was a lot of fun last year; I don't really have anything like it planned for this year. Mostly I want to tackle those books I own but haven't read yet, so I think that might be my main focus this year. Thanks for your kind comments!

    I love finding new favorite authors! Do both writers have other books for you to read or do you have to wait for new releases?

      Sigurdardottir has a few more books out that I haven't read yet, but I might have to wait for other books by Carrisi. But it's something to look forward to. :)

    The only one of these I've read is The Odyssey. It was years ago in college, but I loved it! I love seeing everyone's favorites lists.
