 Relaxing Reading While the Summer Lasts
Terry's Staff Pick:
The Night Circus 
  
The Night Circus Terry Zignego with e-reader
 I loved this fantasy by Erin Morgenstern from the first page.  Only open at night, LeCirque des Reves is full of breathtaking experiences.  Competition between two young magicians, Celia and Marco, trained since childhood, move the plot along at brisk pace.  Only one of them is to survive the competition.  Despite the high stakes, Celia and Marco fall in love leading to dangerous consequences for the lives of all involved.  This novel would make a great movie!
 
Terry's staff pick is located in New Fiction Fantasy
 (FIC MORGENSTERN)

Also available in large print, Playaway audio book, browsing (3 week checkout, no renewals), and e-book from our OverDrive catalog on our website.
