#Excerpt from: The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern

If you’re a fan of atmospheric, magical worlds full of wonder and mystery, The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern is a must-read. This enchanting novel takes readers into the heart of a circus unlike any other—a circus that appears without warning and only opens at night. But beneath the circus’s stunning spectacles lies a fierce competition between two young illusionists, each bound by an ancient magical contract.

Set in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, The Night Circus is a beautifully written, atmospheric tale filled with complex characters, dreamlike settings, and a plot that weaves together love, rivalry, and magic. Morgenstern’s lyrical prose and vivid descriptions make it a novel that’s as much about the experience as it is about the story.

#BookReview: Somewhere Beyond the Sea (Cerulean Chronicles #2) by @TjKlune @tjklunebooks

Somewhere Beyond the Sea is the hugely anticipated sequel to TJ Klune’s The House in the Cerulean Sea, one of the best-loved and best-selling fantasy novels of the past decade. Featuring gorgeous orange sprayed edges!

A magical house. A secret past. A summons that could change everything.

Arthur Parnassus lives a good life built on the ashes of a bad one.

He’s the master of a strange orphanage on a distant and peculiar island, and he hopes to soon be the adoptive father to the six dangerous and magical children who live there.

Arthur works hard and loves with his whole heart so none of the children ever feel the neglect and pain that he once felt as an orphan on that very same island so long ago. He is not alone: joining him is the love of his life, Linus Baker, a former caseworker in the Department In Charge of Magical Youth. And there’s the island’s sprite, Zoe Chapelwhite, and her girlfriend, Mayor Helen Webb. Together, they will do anything to protect the children.

But when Arthur is summoned to make a public statement about his dark past, he finds himself at the helm of a fight for the future that his family, and all magical people, deserve.

And when a new magical child hopes to join them on their island home—one who finds power in calling himself monster, a name that Arthur worked so hard to protect his children from—Arthur knows they’re at a breaking point: their family will either grow stronger than ever or fall apart.

Welcome back to Marsyas Island. This is Arthur’s story.

Somewhere Beyond the Sea is a story of resistance, lovingly told, about the daunting experience of fighting for the life you want to live and doing the work to keep it.

Welcome to the family.

In a disheartened attempt to get her life back on track, Lucy takes up a live-in nanny position only to realize that the advert was misleading, sending her world spinning violently out of control.

Little does her mysterious new employer know Lucy has her own dark secrets, and faced with the realisation that she needs to grow her abilities to survive, she pushes herself too far, destroying the delicate balance between magic and technology.

To seize control of her new world and save herself Lucy must choose––Her life, or her humanity.

Godslayers--Zoe Hana Mikuta's high-octane sequel to Gearbreakers--is perfect for fans of Pacific Rim, Pierce Brown's Red Rising Saga, and Marie Lu's Legend series.

The only way to kill a god is from the inside...

The Gearbreakers struck a devastating blow against Godolia on Heavensday, but the cost of victory has been steep. Months later, the few rebels who've managed to escape the tyrannical empire's bloody retribution have fled to the mountains, hunted by the last Zenith--Godolia's only surviving leader.

Eris has been held prisoner since the attack on the capital city, which almost killed her. And she begins to wish it had when she discovers Sona--the girl she loves, the girl she would tear down cities for--also survived, only to be captured and Corrupted by the Zenith. The cybernetic brainwashing that Sona has forcibly undergone now has her believing herself a loyal soldier for Godolia, and Eris' mortal enemy.

With the rebellion shattered and Godolia moving forward with an insidious plan to begin inducting Badlands children into a new Windup Pilot program, the odds have never been more stacked against the Gearbreakers. Their last hope for victory will depend on whether Eris and Sona can somehow find their way back to each other from opposite sides of a war...

Minerva ‘Minnie’ An’Yan broke the ultimate divine law—she fell in love with a human. As a runaway goddess, she spent years in hiding, knowing the gods wanted her punished for her transgressions.

But when she’s finally captured, she faces more than just execution. Azerius, the most powerful god in existence, doesn’t just want her dead—he wants the true identity of Marlowe, the man she risked everything for.

Except even Minnie doesn’t know who Marlowe really is.

She’s loved him across lifetimes, under different names, but his real identity has always remained a mystery.

Now, trapped between a vengeful god and the echoes of a love she can’t escape, Minnie must unravel the secrets of her past before they destroy her. And in the process, she must answer the most important question:

Who is Marlowe?
