If you need me, I'll be delightfully lost in Erin Morgenstern's The Night Circus (for the 3rd time). Something about the vividness of the scenes she paints just scream Autumn to me.
@gairdeachas I tried to read The Starless Sea, and I didn’t finish very early. How is The Night Circus? For context, I couldn’t get into Sea because it felt super cliche and like there was a driving reason for the main character to do anything, really.
@dallas the two books have a very similar feel for me so you probably won't like The Night Circus. If anything The Starless Sea has a more pronounced plot than TNC, the latter being more a loose framework to build a viscerally striking picture around IMHO.
