  6. 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!

  9. The 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.

    Happy 2012!
