So much so, in fact, that I ordered a copy from Foyles to be shipped to the US! I really hope you enjoy it but I will say no more so as not to add to the hype that's ruined it for some people. I'm hoping to pick up The Marriage Plot soon too - I'll look for your review when it comes!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02127105939589606854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637440206562155541.post-82109141540794255072011-12-30T13:45:20.581+00:002011-12-30T13:45:20.581+00:00Enjoy your gifts!

I'm surprised that no-one gave me a book voucher this Christmas, but everyone took note of other items on my wishlist which was just as thoughtful.<br />I can't wait to go out and browse some book stores in the new year and treat myself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637440206562155541.post-425844168288927552011-12-29T13:16:15.767+00:002011-12-29T13:16:15.767+00:00I hope you enjoy The Night Circus as much as I did...I hope you enjoy <i>The Night Circus</i> as much as I did!

I am also infrequently given books although I have a clearly updated Amazon wish list and spend all gift monies in books... So this year I just got two that weren't cookbooks - A Handfulof Dust by Evelyn Waugh (with a cool cover) and Catheynne Valente's earliest poetry - Apocrypha,<br /><br />I'm surprised you haven't already read The Night Circus but I expect you to like it. It is probably best read in winter anyway, for the right atmosphere. :).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00633712081197318104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637440206562155541.post-56650848015495269722011-12-28T16:44:50.992+00:002011-12-28T16:44:50.992+00:00Wow.. those are some great grabs!

I haven't taken the plunge into The Marriage Plot just yet, but I'm certain I will. And I've never read The Arabian Nights! Plenty of takeoffs in other forms, but not the actual text.
