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.

So vivid & beautiful. It makes my top 5 favorites!

If only exquisitely detailed writing, imagination & wishes made reality... The Night Circus would exist the moment I opened this supremely imaginative book! I first heard it at the library, but liked it so much that I also bought the physical book & audiobook. Then I re"read" it twice more. Stellar characters, details, narration, settings, & storyline. So vividly fantastical that I'm easily able to close my eyes, relax away from my life & step into this world.

Excellent # 2, I can't wait for #3!!! I waited a year and a half and I wasn't disappointed. Just when I thought it was over and the climax of the book was read ... nope ... I still had 1/3 of the book to go jam packed with way more! I love the detail of this writer and world. I wish to live there and study with this group of trouble makers. I can't wait to see what is in store for next time.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 21
In this fascinating new book, authors Nil Zacharias and Gene Stone share new research and compelling arguments that support what scientists across the world are beginning to affirm and uphold: By making even minimal dietary changes, anyone can have a positive, lasting impact on our planet. If you love the planet, the only way to save it is by switching out meat for plant-based meals, one bite at a time.

While only 9 chapters it is super informative and really easy to understand. finished it quickly but the books ideas and impact will last a lifetime. A must read for anyone looking to do a little extra to offset third carbon print or maybe just looking for a nudge to try veganism. the narrator isn't pushy... just honest facts here folks!

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 4,460
Descending into darkness, about to be overwhelmed by evil, those people still free are powerless to stop the coming dawn of a savage new world, while Richard faces the guilt of knowing that he must let it happen. Alone, he must bear the weight of a sin he dare not confess to the one person he loves…and has lost. Join Richard and Kahlan in the concluding novel of one of the most remarkable and memorable journeys ever written. It started with one rule, and will end with the rule of all rules, the rule unwritten, the rule unspoken since the dawn of history.

"'You knew they were there, didn't you?' Kahlan asked in a hushed tone as she leaned closer. Against the darkening sky, she could just make out the shapes of three black-tipped races taking to wing, beginning their nightly hunt. That was why he'd stopped. That was what he'd been watching as the rest of them waited in uneasy silence."
