Random read: Feed by Mira Grant
This is one of the best zombie books I have ever read. It's both cerebral with its scientific detail about the manmade accidental virus that turns people into zombies and action packed with its scenes of terrifying zombies and government conspiracies. This book will make you cringe with terror and also cry with sorrow. The writing just sucks you in and won't let go until you've finished the book. The second volume in the series is also excellent.
Read-a-thon read: The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
This book took me the least amount of time to read because I simply couldn't put it down. It's about rival magicians fighting through their proteges and using the Night Circus as their playing field. The magic contained in the story is marvelous and like no other depiction I have read. The writing is unique, jumping through time, focusing on different characters, and even small portions where you walk through the circus within the story and marvel at the oddities and magic. There is tragic love, mystery, and a monochromatic circus at the center of it all. If you like The Prestige or The Illusionist or Big Fish, you will like the Night Circus.
