I’m going to preface this by saying I’m going to waste as little time and effort as possible thinking and writing about this book, The Night Circus. If you are at all excited about this book, you probably shouldn’t read what I have to say about it. If you are hesitant about reading it, I hope you learn from my mistake. I was really excited about this book. I even referred it to friends before I bought it, because I was so sure I’d love it. It had tons of glowing reviews, was set during my favorite period to read about, and had a unique premise: During the late 1800s, two magicians (Marco and Celia) are trained all their lives to square off in a duel within a magical circus, Le Cirque de Rêves, which is only open at night. If that was what actually happened in this book, it would have been somewhat exciting. What it ended up being is a drawn out, completely cheesy bore. (I literally fell asleep reading it multiple times.) There is no face-to-face battle between these two magicians, and instead they work for years and years (did I mention YEARS?) passively one-upping each other in a game no one understands. In fact, they collaborate on several tents within the circus, building elements expressly for the other person. Yet it’s somehow supposed to be a fight to the death? But there are no consequences for not actually competing? Throughout the whole book, I got the feeling that the author had no idea what was going on or how to explain it. For example, Celia can heal herself, but not other people. Marco can keep people from aging, but no one ever notices, even “rêveurs” who follow the circus for years. There’s a lot more, but it makes me annoyed just to think about it. Predictably, Marco and Celia soon fall inexplicably in love. The impossibility of it all made me want to throw my Kindle across the room, but all I could do was highlight a passage and write the note “BARF”: “Marco lifts his hand to brush a stray curl away from Celia’s face, tucking it behind her ear and stroking her cheek with his fingertips. Her eyelids flutter closed and the rose petals around their feet begin to stir. … The air between them is electric as he leans in, gently brushing his lips against her neck. In the next room, the guests complain about the sudden increase in temperature.” Are you kidding me? Did someone really write that and think it was a good idea? What kind of Harlequin Romance fantasy is she trying to fulfill, and is it is necessary to impose it on the rest of us? The love story between these two characters is absolutely one of the most contrived and ridiculous things I’ve ever read. Dare I say it was worse than Twilight? What I don’t understand is how this book could possibly have a rating of 4.18 on Goodreads, with more than two thousand 5-star ratings. Did we read the same thing? How is my opinion so disparate from 95 percent of the other people who read it? Sure, sure…to each their own. But there is no way I will ever recommend this book to anyone, regardless of their reading tastes. In summary, I hated it. It took me three weeks to read, solely because I didn’t want to be subjected to it. I hate abandoning books, though, and that’s the only reason I made it all the way through.

Wow. Finally a serious book about Greek feet walking slowly toward the ocean. Never before has any one book changed my life! Greek Feet, Greek Beach traces the history of Western Civilization through the journey of one pair of sandalled feet in sand and on rock.

Fab-u-lous!! Ok, so it wouldn't win any awards, but it made me laugh out loud, even on the bus (earned me some funny looks that did!) Simon is a fantastic little amateur sleuth, and I want to retire to Snupperton Mumsley!

Just as much fun as the other two ... for anyone who appreciates British humor, read and enjoy.

Second novel ever to read in Spanish, so I may be more excited about the accomplishment than the actual book.

It wasn't a BAD book, but it's a 3 because, while it was yet another quick read, I wasn't really emotionally invested in it. Its not that the characters were bothersome or that the plot seemed slow, which was not the case. I just didn't quite.. connect with the mindset of the characters. Any of them. I didn't feel as though I knew enough about their histories to make me really care about them.
