I have to review The Thorn and the Blossom by Theodora Goss in a couple of weeks, so I need to actually read it soon! I've been itching to start since I got it in the mail. It is an absolutely gorgeous book, unlike anything I've ever even heard of. Click through the link and watch the book trailer. You will be amazed!
What are you reading this week?
I have an affiliate relationship with Malaprop's, my local independent bookstore located in downtown Asheville, NC; and Better World Books. I will receive a small commission at no cost to you if you purchase books through links on my site.
You had quite a bit going on! I really am looking forward to getting around to The Night Circus as well - need to make time for that!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a busy two weeks. I just finished Thomas Pynchon's The Crying of Lot 49 - now back to The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery, plus friends' manuscripts.
ReplyDeleteI've heard such good things about The Night Circus, I hope you enjoy it!!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you have been busy. Enjoy your reading!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI picked up People of the Book at a second hand store last week so I am glad to see you liked it!
Wishing you a great reading week.

Seems to have been a very busy week and some good books in your list of reviews to come up as well. Enjoy this week.
ReplyDeleteThe Night Circus is exceptionally good. :) Hope you enjoy! I read it a few weeks ago when we did it for our book discussion - we were pretty evenly divided on who liked it and who didn't.
ReplyDeleteHappy 2012!

That's a long list of reviews definitely. I've been wanting to read The Haunting of Hill House for a long time, since I love the original movie. Not the remake though. >.> Anyway, I see you're reading The Night Circus. I heard a lot of good things about that! Enjoy!
