What's more magical than going to the circus? Not very much. And towards the end of 2020, I picked up two wildly different circus-themed books that I could not put down. The Night Circus by Erin Morgensten and Water For Elephants by Sarah Gruen. Both transfixed beautifully; The Night Circus read like Lewis Carroll's casual everyday description of magic (also narrated by the ever magical Jim Dale) all while Water For Elephants was heart-wrenchingly good touching the soul in a way I haven't felt from a book in so long.
Yes, there are spoilers in this quick review, but get ready for a little recap on why and what I loved so much about both of these novels, and then find out which three circus-themed books are on my TBR pile. All of this and more on today's episode. So grab some popcorn, some cotton candy, and get yourself ready to get starry-eyed.
