I’m enjoying these bestseller lists, Michele! This was a time in my life when I thought there were wy too many good old books to bother with the new books coming out. Boy has my attitude changed!
I’ve read none of these books. I’ve read 3 of the authors and would read a few of the others, though not in any big rush. The actual titles mentioned above on my tbr list are 13 & 14.

Feels like Atonement should be so much older than 10 years but I guess that sounds right. That and Nanny Diaries are the only two that I’ve read from the list. Fun to look back at these lists!
