My brilliant plan to write more halted rather abruptly at prompt #2. (See post from the end of March) That's right. I got to #2.
Anyways, I may be slow but I'm persistent. At least I'm persistent in trying to be more persistent.
It's hard.
#3: A book you love.
So many books come to mind. So. Many. But this book came as quite the surprise.
THE NIGHT CIRCUS
I read this book in the winter of 2013-2014. I love an easy read that lets me escape without requiring too much brain power. I'm not a fan of the "smart" books that require me to reread a sentence multiple times to understand it. I had no idea that this silly fiction book loaned to me by my boss would be so marvelous!
The book is downright magical. It's about a circus in London that is only open from sunset to sunrise. The Night Circus. Outrageous, beautiful things happen there. The main plot being two young magicians that are pitted against one another in a rivalry that must end in death for one of them. A mysterious tale of magic, secrets, and unlikely love.
I dove so deep into this story I could barely come back to reality. I loved the strange happenings of this very alive circus and the quirky characters it housed. The main characters are intriguing and I can't help but enjoy a good love story. I'd like to read this one again.
