The Night Circus (Google Books ⧉, Amazon ⧉, Bookshop ⧉)

The Secret Lives of Booksellers and Librarians

One year around Christmastime, Rita comes to the cash register where I’m working. “Have you read this one yet?” she asks as I’m ringing up her purchase, a copy of The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. “I haven’t had the chance,” I admit, “but I’ve heard great things about it.” “Perfect,” she says. “This is for you. After all the great books you’ve recommended to us over the years, this one is my recommendation to you.” I’m incredibly touched.
