Day #3: A Book That Completely Surprised You
Easy peasy answer: The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
I was browsing around at the library and the cover of this struck me so I picked it up. I read the flap and thought, “Blech, fantasy.” A woman browsing close to me said that she loved it. I didn’t want to be a jerk and discount her opinion so I checked it out.
When I got home I decided to give it a shot. I was swept away. Completely sucked in. Absolutely surprised.
This was before the buzz about this book became loud and insistent. I wanted the world to read it and now it seems that everyone has. Yay!
The Relentless Reader 
I still haven't read this, MOSTLY because everyone keeps saying I should. I'm so stubborn.

If I hadn't read it before it exploded in popularity I probably wouldn't have either! What is with that? If a bunch of people like something I will shy away from it, a lot of the time anyway.

I initially wanted to read it but soon realised I didn't think it was my cup of tea at all. Now I have no interest. Glad you enjoyed it.

I COMPLETELY agree. I saw this book and was immediately turned off by the fantastical look of the cover. But it's been one of my favorites of 2012 (and possibly all time!).

I always worry when I go on and on about a book that it will be a let down when people read it! I hope that's not the case for you Rebecca 🙂 I really hope you love it!

I loved this book so much. Plus, there's the extra added bonus of the cover, which I could just stare at all day long.
