Read All The Books

“The circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not.” So I was hooked on this book as soon as I read the opening lines, I mean how could you not. They draw you in!  I initially put this book on my TBR as I had been googling books similar to Harry Potter and I had come across an article that said The Night Circus was one for Harry Potter lovers. Then I read Caraval by Stephanie Garber  (my favourite read in 2017, review can be found here ) and I had heard that she had been inspired by The Night Circus so I was dying to read this!  The Night Circus follows two young magician's who have been trained for a competition, a competition against one another. A circus is created as their battleground, where they must use their magic to outdo one another. However, no one expected them to fall in love and no one told them that in order to win, one won't survive. This was truly a wonderfully magically story

I love Gayle Forman's 'Just One Day' series (you can read my review of the first novel in the series here ) and when I saw that this novel takes place in one day I immediately needed to read it! I Have Lost My Way follows 3 main characters who literally fall into each others lives just when each is feeling lost and confused. This starts an unlikely friendship between the trio and they ultimately help one another overcome their situations.  While this book takes place in one day, there are flashbacks to the past so you get to see how each character got to the point of feeling lost at the beginning of the book and then you get to see how their lives intertwine and how they help each other overcome it. This was a very quick read as it has you turning the pages and wanting to know what happens next. My only fault with this book is that I didn't quite like how it ended. I felt like it needed another page or two. However, this is a powerful novel of friendshi
