I'm curious - is your list going to be for patrons in the form of a readers
advisory list or a display?  And will you give away the spoiler that the
dog(s) don't die?  I really love your idea, as I refuse to read books where
the animals die in the end (dumb quirk of mine) ..just wondering how you're
going to present it?

Thanks!

I definitely second domestic thrillers and biofiction (although I am sick of this already).

Also genre blends like historical mystery, historical fantasy (medieval and/or Vikings) and so forth

I have noticed a lot of books out recently about the wives of famous men:
The Aviator's Wife about the marriage and family of Charles Lindbergh and Anne Morrow Lindbergh by Melanie Benjamin;
The Wives of Los Alamos by TaraShea Nesbit;
Under a Wide and Starry Sky by Nancy Horan about the marriage of Robert Lous Stevenson and  Fanny van de Grift Osbourne ; and Horan's book, Loving Frank,  about Frank Lloyd Wright;
Paula McLain's The Paris Wife about Hemingway and his first wife, Hadley Richardson.

Oh, goody, Sara has started a thread and provided a great idea for a
display, or a read-alikes 'on a theme' list! :-)

Sticking with just fiction (as there have been a number fairly recent NF
titles on the 'unknown/little known wives of famous men' theme as well),
add following to the list:

-- Z: A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald by Therese Fowler
-- A Traitor's Wife: A Novel of the Woman Behind Benedict Arnold and the
Plan to Betray America  by Allison Pataki

In October, there will be a new one for the list:
-- The Other Einstein: A Novel by Heather Terrell PLUS if you go back to
1999

And if you go even further back to 1999, there is also:
-- Ahab's Wife: Or, the Star-Gazer: A Novel by Sena Jeter Naslund

Enjoy!

Lucy
