Perhaps it was Toronto’s cold weather and grey skies, but last week I really needed an escape from the reality of the November gloom and my nasty head cold. Ironically, it was a nocturnal world of black and white and shades of grey that was able to transport me out of my funk. The Night Circus, the new novel by Erin Morgenstern is a magical story that lifted my spirits. Sure it has all the right elements every good fairy tale should: magical powers, cruel parenting, a battle to-the-death, and true love, but the reason why I voraciously consumed this book is the author’s delicious use of language. As I read it, my stuffy nose could smell the scents of caramel and cinnamon that wafted through the circus air.
Sounds yummy, doesn’t it?

Is this your next scarf???
Nope, it’s just an image I created for the blog that’s an ode to the book, The Night Circus.
Love!
Seriously though, I love this image, please make into scarf for me to buy 🙂
Thanks Heather! You’ll be the first to know if this design becomes a scarf. 🙂
I can hardly wait to read it!!! And I spied the feathers reappearing in that lovely design
Yes, feathers actually appear in the book frequently too. And so do silk and scarves!
You brighten my day with these wonderful stories.
A good option for my Christmas reading list! Thanks Lila. 🙂
That’s it, I’m caving and buying this book! It’s been on my to read/buy list since they announced the publication date and you’ve sealed the deal for me. Also, I second Heather; this design would make a lovely scarf.
Thanks Erin. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it!
