Welcome to Litsy!

introduced to me by my sister and it was absolutely spectacular.

What do you think the rest of the pillow says?

I'm personally confused about why this book is so loved, it's nothing like the summary on the back and I was disappointed. The concept and characters are cool, but I was expecting something more epic.

This book has everything. Lovers! Twins! A contortionist, jerky mentors, a contest of wits will and power! Spooooky ghosts! Late night dinners! World travel! Points of view which while interesting, make no sense until the end when things come together!

I enjoyed this quite a lot, would recommend.

I just finished this custom leather cover for The Night Circus for one of our customers! I'm really pleased with how this one turned out, it was really fun to work on. 🥰

This was such an amazing book. The writing and the characters *dies of joy*
The only thing I didn‘t like was that the romance took a total of 2 chapters and than Kapoof! Never to be seen again.

4⭐️

This was my fourth attempt and I pushed through this time by speeding up the audiobook. It was okay, but for some reason, I just wasn't charmed in the way I think I was supposed to be. I was bored and it never felt like the love story had any tension or build up, it just...was. I flat out hated Water for Elephants, so maybe I have a circus aversion?

This book looks “Enchanting” and was added to my list. #Scarathon #TeamSlaughter @Clwojick #OminousOctober prompt @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

#ScarathlonDailyPrompts #Day6 #Night What embodies this prompt more than a circus that arrives at midnight and leaves at dawn? This is probably the book I recommend the most when people ask what‘s a really good read. It‘s well written, the story is wonderful, the characters amazing & the setting is lush. What more can you want? #Scarathlon #TeamSlaughter 6pts

Lovely book about a magical circus and the people who fall in love with it (and each other 😍)

My TBR pile has become a literal pile and I can't stand it. I'm going to see if #BookSpin can help me clear away the gigantic pile of books on my bedroom floor. Fingers crossed!

@TheAromaofBooks

This is a hard one to narrow down! These are the 3 that come to mind right now-

🎪The Night Circus - Erin Morgenstern
⏳The Wheel Of Time series - Robert Jordan
🌄Dune - Frank Herbert

#LittensWantToKnow

My #bookspin list for September! I don‘t think I can go wrong with any of these picks. 😀

Definitely the tagged book! And Daughter Of Smoke & Bone. Any of Kate Morton‘s books. Oh, and the Anita Blake series. Before it turned into soft porn anyway🫣

#LittensWantToKnow

Perhaps a controversial opinion but I didn‘t love this even though by all means I should have.

Lyrical writing - ❤️
Circus - I was in the circus as an aerialist 🎪
Adventure - ❤️
Magic - 🪄 🙌🏻

But still something felt lacking to me. I guessed the twists and turns early on and couldn‘t wait for it to be over. I borrowed it from a friend so I have to give it back soon.

Maybe if I meditate on it I‘ll change my review but for now ⭐️⭐️⭐️.

Okay, I‘m adding this one not because it‘s my favorite but because it‘s so memorable. The Night Circus is one of those books that is so unique you wish you could read it again for the first time. #AlphabetGame #LetterN

I 💜💜💜 the tagged book with my whole heart. But this one is a more important read that I am so glad to have read Night by Ellie Wiesel

#AlphabetGame #letterN

This is one of those rare books that totally captivate & enchant you from page one. It‘s a beautifully crafted, beautifully written magical whimsical love story that has the lot, including a circus of wonders that appears & disappears in the night. With a backstory of a magical wager & a doomed love, it‘s just perfection.

Reading on the train!

I was expecting to love this but it‘s been a bit slow going so far (I‘m 150 pages in). Does it speed up at all?

Oh goodness, how to say how much I enjoyed this book. Magic, love, whimsy, and excitement wrapped in black, white, and blood red. If you're intrigued, you should just read it. I also highly suggest listening to it narrated by Jim Dale (also who narrated Harry Potter)

Been trying to start this one for a few days and keep getting distracted! Hopefully I‘ll do better today.

Attention Tarot friends! Erin Morgenstern recently announced that her Night Circus themed deck is being released in the US this November! You can preorder and view some of the imagery on her website... check it out! Thought I'd pass this along here to all my fellow #witchesoflitsy 😊

This is a must read!! From the first sentence, it was a thrilling ride. I will carry a piece of this story with me everywhere I go. I consider myself henceforth, a rêveur.

I love Le Cirque des Reves 🎪 🖤❤️🤍 I know it‘s not real but I wish it was because it‘s a place I love ❤️

I should have bailed on this book from the get go, but it was read my Jim Dale who also read Harry Potter, and the concept was intriguing. But this book just fell flat for me. The imagery was breath-taking, I'll give it that. But for me the book tried to be too much. It tried to be a fantasy, murder-mystery, comedy but without compelling enough characters for it to work. Also, the ending seemed more self-congratulatory than anything else.

I loved the Starless Sea so much I think almost any other book would pale in comparison. I loved the story of this one I just found the numerous pov (around 15) and the backwards and forwards of multiple time lines (2 timelines I can handle) I found myself having to concentrate on whose pov I was reading and where in the timeline I was so much to the point of it took so me of my enjoyment out of the reading of it. ⭐⭐⭐

I read so so so many good books these past two months! So many new favorites!!!

I almost didn‘t continue with this one. It took about 10 chapters and then…wow. I love this book in ways I don‘t even understand.

After 50%, it got more interesting and easier to read. But, I'm not going to pretend to like the prose. Because in the end, I don't think I understood anything.

I'm enjoying this book but I've been reading it for 4 days now and I just got past 50%. It's not readable for me.

I suppose I just contradicted myself. Sigh.

"Is it not that bad to be trapped somewhere, then? Depending on where you're trapped?"

"I suppose it depends on how much you like the place you're trapped in."

"And how much you like whoever you're stuck there with."

He did not receive as clear an answer about his future as he had expected, but somehow the issue does not seem as heavy as it had before.

"Celia," he says without looking up at her, "why do we wind our watch?"
"Because everything requires energy," she recites obediently, eyes still focused on her hand.

Prospero the Enchanter's immediate reaction upon meeting his daughter is a simple declaration of: "????, ????."

I've had this book for over 7 years now and I'm finally reading it.

Great book about a magical black and white circus
