The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern

What a fun meeting last night!!   Tarot cards, raffle tickets, black & white decorations/food, a ball-throwing game, prizes…SO FUN!!

Everyone really enjoyed this book.  I think the opinions ranged from “liked it” to “loveloveloveOMG.”

Some highlight of our discussion:

• Can’t wait to see the movie version of this!
• Some thought the competition aspect was lame or just didn’t like it, or didn’t think it was the focus of the plot
• Skipping around on dates could be confusing, but was that done to intentionally mirror the non-linear circus itself?
• Unusual that it was written in 2nd person
• Descriptions are so beautiful
• The audiobook reader is very good
• Very visual – felt like you were seeing it
• What is your favorite tent – Ice Garden? Wishing Tree?
