Really good fantasy and readable and I can see why some people like it so much. I enjoyed it. Maybe I am into so much NF now or I would be more into it. Like a dream.

Fantastical. But more than fantasy. Lyrical. But more than poetry. Epic. But simple in scope. The circus has come to town. Two children bonded together and pitted against one another in a magical, mystical challenge. The circus is the venue, but the challenge is not about acts of wonder. If only they had known before they fell in love.

Awk_Word_Smith Shakespearean in tragedy and in love. The circus and all its players seemingly manifest themselves from “A Midsummer Night‘s Dream” into the mid-to-late 1800s. A fanciful journey through a lifetime of dreams and wishes.

“We are such stuff
As dreams are made on, and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.”
Prospero, “The Tempest”
Act IV, Scene I

This book was pretty heartbreaking.
The animal abuse.
The human abuse.
It was hard to read at times. But I did enjoy the ending.

This had been on my TBR since seeing the movie in theatres.

Because I don‘t already pay enough to Spotify, I guess.

I will finish “Heavenly Tyrant” next month I guess. And start “The Night Circus” now. One of the first books to be completed as a NaNoWriMo project and then traditionally published.

RamsFan1963 I don't trust Spotify. I was almost finished with a book, like maybe 95% done, when they cut me off. I paid for them to add another 10 hrs to my time, they said whatever was unused, like 9 hours probably, would roll over to the next month. I haven't tested it yet, but I bet if I pick a book over the 15 hour mark, it still cuts me off before finishing. 2w
Awk_Word_Smith @RamsFan1963 new doubt—it‘s as suspicious as Audible. Every once in a while I double check to make sure that I still have access to audiobooks I “bought” from Amazon. 2w

We went to Edinburgh for Christmas. I hoped to visit more bookstores than I did but I made sure I bought a copy of one of my favorite books at uWaterstones while I was there. 😍 that was a long flight from Texas!

Excited to be starting this #audiobook of The Night Circus, which seems to be a favourite for a lot of people. I can't believe I haven't read it yet! Jim Dale performs the audiobook and I didn't realize his voice would remind me of Harry Potter so much!

I would give anything to go back to Le Cirque des Rêves for the first time. I cried because it was over. Truly one of the most beautiful books I have ever read. A masterpiece. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Mehso-so

A heartbreaking journey of Noa and Astrid‘s & their circumstances that lead to their involvement of the circus during WWII. When there is so much sadness & brokenness, the circus serves as a beacon of hope for the circus employees and show goers. Enduring raids, loss of lives & love, and being ostracized, the unlikely pair form a sisterly bond through the trapeze. Life is fragile, but their resilience is strong as the rope that holds in the sky.
