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!

I need to read Under the Tuscan Sun – I always watch the movie in the winter when there is snow on the ground.
Night Circus has been on my list for a while! I need to read that as well.
Have a great week!

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!
It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

I have heard really good things about The Night Circus and definitely need to get around to reading it! Hope you have an amazing reading week!
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!

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.
Happy New Year!
I 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.

Looks like you have been busy. Enjoy your reading!
I've heard such good things about The Night Circus, I hope you enjoy it!!!
Sounds 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.
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!
