  I have not done this series in a while! Here's a new entry... The photo of the author was found on her website, which you can visit by clicking here .   You can find the previous parts to my favorite authors series here .    

I am briefly coming out of my semi hiatus to post all this week and part of next week. Anyway! You know I had to read this book after reading and liking The Starless Sea by the same author. You can read the review for that book here . The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern is a historical fantasy book about a mysterious traveling circus that only appears to visitors at nighttime. The book follows several characters that are responsible for running the circus (to name a few): Celia, Marco, Chandresh, Tsukiko, siblings Poppet and Widget, and many others. There are also some chapters following a devoted circus visitor named Bailey.  It's a very whimsical book, but the circus does have a rather sinister secret behind it, and it mostly involves Celia and Marco. I love the way this author writes, it is so atmospheric! I like how everyone's stories come together at the end, and all of the twists, too.  I gave this book 5 stars . It's a new favorite! 

Wow! My first dark academia book, recommended by the wonderful @greenghostreviews over on Instagram.  The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern , to put it simply, is about Zachary, a college student who finds a mysterious book called Sweet Sorrows in his university's library. The book was donated by the equally mysterious Keating Foundation. Within the book are symbols of a bee, a key and a sword. Zachary wonders what it could all mean, especially since the story seems to be about him! He finds huge lead at a party that is literary-themed. From there he finds himself in the middle of a magical underground world of all the stories that exist in the world, as well as the people behind it that are trying to preserve it all.  This book was so atmospheric and whimsical! Intertwined with Zachary's story are other stories in and around the actual Starless Sea and its Harbours. Everything comes together neatly at the end. It kind of reminded me of Where the Mountain Meets the Moon by Gr...
