March Book Choice

Hello Everyone,
It's Amy this time. So I have to apologize to Carly. I gave her such a hard time about not updating the blog that one time that she outsmarted me and asked me to do it this month... and guess what, April's meeting it tonight... my bad.

Last month (Feb) we read Defending Jacob. Again I was the only one that didn't finish. I was about 30 pages until the end... but I did finish it that night after book club. I think this ended up being one of our favorite books. The book brought up a few ethical dilemmas and gave us plenty to talk about. Good Choice Sabra.

March was back to Carly for the book choices. We decided on The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern.


The circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not. Within the black-and-white striped canvas tents is an utterly unique experience full of breathtaking amazements. It is called Le Cirque des Rêves, and it is only open at night.

But behind the scenes, a fierce competition is underway—a duel between two young magicians, Celia and Marco, who have been trained since childhood expressly for this purpose by their mercurial instructors. Unbeknownst to them, this is a game in which only one can be left standing, and the circus is but the stage for a remarkable battle of imagination and will. Despite themselves, however, Celia and Marco tumble headfirst into love—a deep, magical love that makes the lights flicker and the room grow warm whenever they so much as brush hands.

Once again, I will not finish this book before the meeting. Way too much homework this month. What I did get to read I loved. It is such a fast read and I didn't want to put it down. I made it about 5 chapters in and had to go back to studying. I'm excited to hear what everyone else thinks about this one.

Tonight is my turn to bring the book choices. We've had some good ones lately, so I have big shoes to fill. Sabra is in charge of the main course and Heather will be bringing dessert.

As a reminder, we will be at Carly and Eric's new home in Centerville. Please text her for the address if you don't know where it is. See you all tonight at 7!

Happy Reading,
Amy Jo
