The Nichols Book Cafe meets at noon today to chat about The Night Circus, a tale of two star-crossed illusionists by Erin Morgenstern. Bring a lunch; warm beverages provided. Meanwhile for suspense readers, new this month are House on Fire by Joseph Finder Hunter Killer by Brad Taylor, Into the Fire by Greg Hurwitz, Lost by the ubiquitous James Patterson, and When You See Me by Lisa Gardner (links are to book descriptions in our catalog; if you like what you see, you can place a hold right there).
