Curious to see what the Lemmings are reading this year.

I'll say my favorite this year was "The People of the Deer" by Farley Mowat, a novelization of the authors time spent in the Canadian North.

An incredible read with some wonderful prose.

The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern!

I'll remember that book like a treasured gourmet meal forever.

Even if I later forget the details, the silken blessing of her prose and how close I grew to her characters while living in their world will linger.
