I'd love to write a full length highly entertaining post for you, but at this very moment the only thing I can think about is going to bed so I can continue reading this book.
Which is exactly what I'm going to do right now.
It's currently 4:15 p.m. by the way.
Would you like to save this stuff?
We'll email you this post, so you can refer to it later.
Go to the store and buy it. Better yet ... download it to your iPad or Kindle. You'll miss out on the feel of an actual book but it'll be faster that way.
Go. NOW.
Have a good weekend. Details about what this year's Big Spring Project is on Monday morning!

You can't go wrong with any of Janet Evanovich's books for laughs and entertainment. For me what is even better are her recorded books. The person recording the books is excellent as she uses distinctive voices for Evanovich's characters.

I loved it, thank you for the recommendation :)

I just downloaded it from my local library ebooks. I was surprised it was available. Can't wait to start it after the book I'm currently reading. Thanks for the suggestion.

Karen. You are my new best friend. I bought the book on a whim the day you published this entry,and didn't get to start reading right away. It was a slow start, I was almost disappointed... And the Something Happened. I just finished it and tomorrow, I am going to buy copies for everyone I know. Or, you know, my brother.

I am listening to the audiobook and it is very well done. The writing is so descriptive and it makes me want to throw a black and white circus party.
Seems like the end has a polarizing effect...my favorite kind. ;)
Hoping you will write that full length post/review sometime soon now that it's probably safe to assume you've finished reading...?
Karen
Adrienne - I have finished reading and I am one of the ones who thought the ending was good. :) ~ karen

I guess it's not for everybody.

Once I started reading the Night Circus, I couldn't put it down, which meant I got to bed at some stupid hour. Worth it, though. If you liked The Night Circus,you might want to try The Snow Child (Eowyn Ivey. It was the runner up for this year's Pulitzer Prize, takes the same sort of magic realism as The Night Circus but applies it to 1920s Alaska. I reviewed it on the blog in January.(http://theteatimereader.wordpress.com/2013/01/16/the-snow-child-by-eowyn-ivey/ ) Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore is another fun read in the magic realism genre, up for a bunch of nominations right now and reviewed here: (http://theteatimereader.wordpress.com/2013/01/01/mr-penumbras-24-hour-bookstore-by-robin-sloan/)

Naomi - I actually read The Snow Child didn't enjoy it all that much. Finally around 3/4s of the way through I started to but it didn't grab me like The Night Circus did. ~ karen!
