About half way through The Night Circus, too, and don't think I'll be able to stop until the last page. A very good read.

Enjoy GWTW, Patricia! If you like the movie, you'll probably appreciate the details the book adds to the story. I've read it nine times and it never gets old.

I just finished Search the Dark. It was great- I couldn't guess the murderer and that's the sign of a good mystery.

I would love to read GWTW sometime. I tried to read it 2 times when I was in junior high, but I had the attention span of a gnat back then and only read it about halfway through. Maybe I'll give it another try someday.! Let us know how you like it, Patricia!

I am loving it. The imagery is amazing. In my Mind's eye, I could see the striped tents against the grey skies as I waited in line with the others waiting to find out what kind of Circus only opens at night. The characters also sucked me in, especially Mr. Gray. I'm about 70% done and can't wait to finish it tomorrow - I left it at the Dentist Office, dag nabit!


message 26382: by April (new)

April (apriltara) | 11 comments I really enjoyed it. It's like the circus itself is the main character.


message 26383: by Flora (new)

Flora Smith (bookwormflo) I'm still reading Eirelan by Liam O'Shiel which has been really good but I still have a long way to go. I'm also reading 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami and I've just started Legend (Legend, #1) by Marie Lu

Very true, though I was commenting on the supporting cast as it were. I'm a little groggy from the meds the dentist gave me...

That's such a great way to describe it!


message 26386: by Ami (new)

Ami E. Bowen (skayda) | 26 comments My current reading material is Dull Boy by Sarah Cross by Sarah Cross and it's so good! I am staying with my grandmother to help her out a bit and was reading at night in bed and had to shove a corner of my feather pillow into my mouth to keep from laughing too loudly for fear of waking her up since she has trouble sleeping and the walls are very thin in her double wide mobile home and since she lives in a very small town it gets very quiet at Knight. This book is very entertaining and highly reccommended for comic book/superhero fans. My last two reads before that were Sold by Patricia McCormick by Patricia McCormick and Fat Vampire A Never Coming of Age Story by Adam Rex by Adam Rex.

I loved 1Q84: Book 1 and Book 2 and have book 3 to start. While i cant wait to find out what happens to the main characters, i keep putting it off because i dont want it to end.

Its quite different from other Lansdale books ive read but im really liking it. Its a murder mystery story but gives an interesting portrayal of life during the depression, covering the attitudes of white people to blacks. Ive had it for a while and really glad i got round to it.

Karen M | 1956 comments I'm reading The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society and am in love with it. This will be one that I don't want to end. Sadly the author passed away before she finished this book. Clever writing in the same style of 84, Charing Cross Road which I've read 3 times becaue I so love it!

Gary R | 117 comments I just finished Secret of the White Rose by Stefanie Pintoff . It was an absolute page turner. Whenver I had to brak away from it I couldn't wait to fiand 5 minuties to get back to it. The story kept you guess right up til the end and it provided a very realistic picture of life in NYC in the early 1900's. Will definitely be going back to read book one and two in this series. I am now starting Law of Attraction A Novel by Allison Leotta

Karen (karenvwrites) | 112 comments Into The Light by Darcia Helle

Touching story of a man who is murdered and wants to find his killer and a motive so he latches himself to a PI named Joe. the results so far are touching yet comical as Max tries to manage the ghost world while finding out why he was murdered.
