I hope to sit and read today. A real paper book, not just an audiobook while busy doing life. I‘ve been meaning to read this one for a long time... maybe today will be the day.

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don't judge me - I have a lot of books. Join the fun if you want.
This is day 7

Guys, if you haven‘t read Schaffert before, now‘s the chance to pick up his most recent book. I‘m excited to hear he‘s taking a sabbatical from his teaching career - fingers crossed it means the book he‘s been working on will get out out into the world. #localauthor #Omaha

#phillymeetup looks like it was so much fun! Are there any other Littens from the #Omaha area who might be interested in an #omahameetup?

The pacing was a bit off but there was a magical feel that made me think of the Night Circus, which I loved, and it was great to revisit that feeling.

This book was given to me for my birthday last year so it's been awhile, but I remember that I enjoyed it very much. There is a hidden magical quality to this story. Not as "in your face" as The Night Circus, which it's often compared to...but the love story felt real, sad, beautiful. ❤️?
