Current read: The Night Circus

-
I'm currently halfway through this wonderful and whimsical book by Erin Morgenstern entitled The Night Circus. I cannot wait to finish this book so that I can write my own review of it.

I would like to share an excerpt from the book which depicts Erin Morgenstern's impeccable play on words.

“I believe you have my umbrella,” he says, almost out of breath but wearing a grin that has too much wolf in it to be properly sheepish.
