The Night Circus
I don't normally read fantasy books at all, so considering this one (mostly) held my attention through the end says something. Looking forward to my reading group discussion.

The Night Circus
Absolutely amazing! Jim Dale reads the audio book, and I couldn't stop listening. Morgenstern's descriptions of Les Cirque Des Reves (The Circus of Dreams) made me feel like I was truly in a dream, myself.
