This blog...

I have made this blog for the sole purpose of keeping track of the books I have read. Some day I will look back and say "WOW! I sure do read a lot!"
For those of you that come across this blog, I hope you find it useful. It may help you find your next book, get a new perspective on a book you've already read, or at the very least, provide a new way for you to waste a few minutes of your day.

The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern


I could say that I am speechless over this book, but anyone around me would tell you that is a lie.  The truth is that I cannot seem to stop talking about it, I keep trying to find the right words or comparisons to describe it.  So far this is what I have come up with this...it has bits of the magic and excitement of Harry Potter, the fantastical aspect of Alice in Wonderland, the imagination of Willy Wonka, the lovestruck wonder of Twilight (the first book only)...and yet, it is like none of them. It is wild and brilliant, engaging and powerful, and spectacularly well written.  Oh my the writing style is like nothing I have ever seen and every thing I ever wanted.  So fresh and amazing!!

I wish I had not finished, but it was too good not to.  Oh the conundrums of great literature!! The Night Circus is a book I was proud to read and extremely eager to recommend.  Please, I beg you to read it!
