(nwr) Book Review

lv2011

Since we have so many readers here, and we were all just talking about what we're reading or looking for inspiration, I thought I'd share a review of what I just finished.

It is a rare thing indeed to read a book that is so good, especially these days, for which one gladly abandons all thoughts of phones, television, or computers, not even daring to turn them on, forsaking the body's most basic needs in order to keep reading, and only stopping to close the eyes and breathe in the magic of the last few pages, just for a moment, before hungrily continuing to the end. That is the effect of The Night Circus, by Erin Morgenstern. Of the hundreds of books I've read in my 32 years, this is easily the best and my favorite. To brilliantly merge the intense imagination of childhood with the whimsy, romance, and intensity of our adult years into one fluidly breathtaking volume is to read an exquisite dream now realized.

If you can't tell, I highly, Highly, HIGHLY recommend this book. To everyone.

Oh man, there was a book rec post and I missed it? I have a sad. But I will definitely keep this one in mind next time I hit up Barnes and Noble!

what was it about? I'm definitely looking for a few new books and meant to write down the books everyone was suggesting!

I took this out of the library at the beginning of the summer with the intent to read it.  I actually renewed it once and then turned it in, unread, and had to pay an overdue fine.  Maybe after the wedding I will take it out again!

I read the synopsis on amazon, and added it to my wishlist.  I love that your review is glowing with the excitement of having just finished an awesome book.  It's a special feeling!

Night Circus as been on my wishlist for a few months.  I just told my CW about how I want to read it and I think he's got it on hold at the library.  Now I'm more excited to read it!
