What are we talking about today?

I'll get back to theme days once I find a groove of posting regularly. In the meantime, most of my posts are about some variation of books, bikes, buses, or Broadway. Plus bits about writing, nonprofits, and grief from time to time.

This blog is mostly lighthearted and pretty silly. It's not about the terrible things happening in the world, but please know that I'm not ignoring those things. I just generally don't write about them here.

Teaser Tuesday #30

My resolution post will have to wait until I settle on some resolutions. Which may not be until closer to the new semester starting, alas.

Before my teaser, here's at least one book-related goal: I've set my 2013 Goodreads Challenge. One book per week this year, for a total of 52. This is less than the last two years (100 each), but I'm adding a new rule for myself: No re-reads this time; they have to be fresh books. However, I am still including textbooks if I read the entire thing. After all, textbooks are a big reason I don't do as much reading as I'd like.

Okay, now for the teaser:

The Night Circus, Erin Morgenstern

The twins remain perfectly pleased with the arrangement, receiving irregular lessons on innumerable subjects and reading every book they can get their hands on, piles of them often ending up in the wrought-iron cradle they would not part with after it was outgrown.

At this late hour there are no patrons lingering in this particular tent, and it is unlikely that any other visitors to the circus will stumble upon it in the remaining hours before dawn.

I haven't read this book, but I got it for my mom for Christmas because I'd heard good things about it.

Erin Morganstern was at the Texas Book Festival last year, and I've finally gotten around to the book on my to-read list! And that's after putting her near the top-- or so I thought. So far, so good!

I really liked The Night Circus when I read it last year. Wonderful teaser!
