I have also written notes to myself to check out Lynn Kurland, Rachel Hartman, Diane Stanley, Helen Epstein (Where She Came From), Elie Wiesel (The Trial of God), Murasaki Shikibu (The Tale of Genji), and Parker Palmer (Let Your Life Speak). I think those authors had caught my eye while walking through a bookstore, and the names have been sitting in my phone ever since. I'll need to google them sometime and see if they're any good. A friend also recommended: Austenland series by Shannon Hale and Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare.
