ERIN MORGENSTERN - The Night Circus

(Let Erin Morgenstern's Night Circus Mix set the mood while you read about this event.) 

At dusk (6:30pm) on October 20th, the BookPeople Night Circus with open on the store's second floor, featuring a fortune teller, contortionist, candied apples, chocolate mice, spiced cider, black and white popcorn, and other elements recreated from the book.  At sunset (7:30pm), Erin Morgenstern will take the podium to read from the most talked-about book of the season and take audience questions.  Afterwards, she will sign copies.  

The Night Circus is easily one of our favorite books of the year. We are eagerly anticipating meeting Erin and sharing this magical, wonderful new novel with readers. This is a book you'll be recommending to your friends - all of them.  Its appeal is wide; teens, book clubs, Harry Potter fans, Twilight fans, fans of love and life and good, original stories told well, all will devour this incredible debut. You can check out our preview of the book on the BookPeople blog.

The Night Circus tells the story of a duel between two young magicians, Celia and Marco, who have been trained since childhood expressly for this purpose by their mercurial instructors. Unbeknownst to them, this is a game in which only one can be left standing, and the circus, whose black and white striped canvas tents appear in towns without warning, is but the stage for a remarkable battle of imagination and will. Despite themselves, however, Celia and Marco tumble headfirst into a deep, magical love that makes the lights flicker and the room grow warm whenever they so much as brush hands. Meanwhile, patrons are dazzled by the breathtaking displays of Le Cirque des Rêves.
