The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. Very fantastical and bizarre. I'm completely loving it, but having trouble keeping the timeline straight as each chapter has a date.
02. Recently Finished:
Goodnight, Brian by Steven Manchester. Moving and inspirational novel about defying the odds and the love of family.
03. Reading Next:
The Burning of Isobel Key by Jen McConnell. A present day girl searches for the answers behind a witch burning in Scotland years before. Review to be posted on January 14th. =)
Someday I have to go back and READ The Night Circus. I think I might have loved it if I had. Instead, I listened to the audiobook and "liked it okay" with an uneasy awareness that the very issue you state--jumping points of view and timeline--greatly impaired my ability to truly enjoy it.

Love that cover for The Night Circus! I still haven't grabbed a copy for myself though...maybe this payday, it sounds like such a fascinating read.

Do it. That's all I can say. =)
DeleteI liked 'The Night Circus' a lot, but found a few things I wish were different. Here's my post on it, should you find yourself in need of taking up your time! :) http://wellreadfish.blogspot.com/2012/09/the-night-circus.html
ReplyDelete'Goodnight Brian' is on my list, only I can't remember where I first heard of it!

I really loved the Night Circus and can't wait until Morgenstern's next book which I hope will be coming soon. The Burning also sounds really good...I'm looking forward to your review and adding it to my list.
ReplyDeleteGreat books. I have Night Circus on my TBR list and can't wait to read it, hopefully soon. I have Goodnight, Brian to read in the next couple of weeks, so I can't wait to see your thoughts. Happy reading.
