If you loved Downton Abbey and Call the Midwife:  The Summer Before the War by Helen Simonson

“This witty character study of how a small English town reacts to the 1914 arrival of its first female teacher offers gentle humor wrapped in a hauntingly detailed story.”—Good Housekeeping

If you loved The Office:  Then We Came to the End by Joshua Ferris.

"What looks at first glance like a sweet-tempered satire of workplace culture is revealed upon closer inspection to be a very serious novel about, well, America. It may even be, in its own modest way, a great American novel." - Los Angeles Times

If you loved Gossip Girl:  The A-List by Zoey Dean.

“Beverly Hills: 90210 gets a fabulous face-lift for the Gossip Girl crowd in Zoey Dean's first sassy, sun-tanned installment of her Hollywood-centric The A-List.” – Barnes and Noble Review

If you loved Orange is the New Black:  The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood.

"The Handmaid's Tale is in the honorable tradition of Brave New World and other warnings of dystopia. It's imaginative even audacious, and conveys a chilling sense of fear and menace."  —The Globe and Mail

If you loved Game of Thrones:  The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss

"The type of assured, rich first novel most writers can only dream of producing. The fantasy world has a new star." -Publishers Weekly
