  1. Excellent list, Lindsey! I definitely want to read Us and Station Eleven, and possibly some of these others as well. Another new release I am really looking forward to is Jane Smiley's Some Luck.

    As far as the Marilynne Robinson . . . I didn't read her previous novels about the characters. I don't know if I should start with Lila, or with one of the previous books.

    1. Thanks Leila! I will have to look up Some Luck.

      Hmm...As far as I can tell, they are different characters who are all connected to each other so you will probably see some of the same events from different points of view.

  3. I've never heard of any of these novels although "The Book of Strange New Things" seems intriguing as a piece of sci-fi.

  4. Never read any of these or anything by Meg Wolizter. Lots of people have been mentioning her so I think I need to remedy that.

    1. I don't read a lot of apocalyptic stories, but the traveling troupe of actors aspect caught my attention. And I've heard so many good things about the author!
