The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern

To say that I enjoyed this book is an understatement. Enamored with it, is more like it. We’ve all read books with a love story; many of them can be great, inspirational even, but few are quite literally magical. The Night Circus centers around two young magicians, Celia and Marco, who are unknowingly in a competition with one another; their venue is a traveling circus that seems to appear in towns out of thin air, whose doors only open at night. This debut author packs the book full of eloquent scenes. Scenes that not only kept me enthralled with the book, but also had me wishing this particular circus really did exist. So if you’re ready to be swept away by an enchanting love story, this is definitely the book for you!
