The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern is a fantastical love story set during the turn of the century. Historical fiction with a magical twist! I successfully completed reading it with five days to spare on my CLAMS rental! Gotta love Christmas break! Although slow in the beginning, the beautiful writing style and unusual storyline held my interest. Once the love story kicked in, I was hooked.

He steals glances instead, watching the way the light falls over her skin. Several times he catches her regarding him in a similar manner, and the moments when she holds his eyes with hers are sublime.”
