Currently I am inspired and moved by my new favorite author, the wondrous Erin Morgenstern. First, let me tell you that I haven't been this enthralled by a book in a very long time...
Erin's new book, The Night Circus, just came out and I downloaded it on a whim from audible because I was lamenting the start of school and the return to my crazy commuting days. Once I started, I couldn't stop listening. I thoroughly enjoyed every word from cover to cover (well not really since I listened to it but you get the idea!) Erin writes with such richness. When read by Jim Dale (as the audiobook is) her words go down like a square of the best Belgian dark chocolate taken with a generous goblet of zinfandel or any other fabulously yummy and full-bodied red. Not to mention that the story is utterly captivating if you have any imagination at all and I am now completely obsessed with anything and everything related to The Night Circus! It is truly a beautiful book that might just gift you with a new perspective on the world around you. It did for me and I will be grateful to Erin for writing it for a very long time. GO READ IT!
XOXO
P.S. If that isn't enough, I was fortunate enough to meet Erin the other night and she is both fabulous and down to Earth (and loves cats, chocolate, and red wine...do i have to keep going?) It's so rare and thus extra special to get to meet people who inspire my imagination in this way. I feel so lucky that I got to meet the actual person behind the words. Totally cool!
