The following are lists of books releasing the weeks of August 8th and August 15th that we think will be of interest to Bookreporter.com readers.
August 9, 2011Today's featured title is THE NIGHT CIRCUS by Erin Morgenstern. The circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it, no paper notices plastered on lampposts and billboards. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not. Within these nocturnal black-and-white-striped tents, awaits an utterly unique experience, a feast for the senses, where one can get lost in a maze of clouds, meander through a lush garden made of ice, stare in wonderment as the tattooed contortionist folds herself into a small glass box, and become deliciously tipsy from the scents of caramel and cinnamon that waft through the air. Welcome to “Le Cirque des Rêves.”
