#book: the night circus

[haveyoureadthispoll]

The circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not. Within the black-and-white striped canvas tents is an utterly unique experience full of breathtaking amazements. It is called Le Cirque des Rêves, and it is only open at night. But behind the scenes, a fierce competition is underway—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 is but the stage for a remarkable battle of imagination and will. Despite themselves, however, Celia and Marco tumble headfirst into love—a deep, magical love that makes the lights flicker and the room grow warm whenever they so much as brush hands. True love or not, the game must play out, and the fates of everyone involved, from the cast of extraordinary circus performers to the patrons, hang in the balance, suspended as precariously as the daring acrobats overhead. Written in rich, seductive prose, this spell-casting novel is a feast for the senses and the heart.

my fatal flaw is that I fall in love with books that have no fandom/ small/ inactive fandom.

S, M, XXXL

So the day has come when you will be able to see my vision not only for the game, but also for the book versions of the Baby. But some amendments are possible in the future.

I hope you won't have diabetes, because this art turned out to be truly sugary. 🍬^w^🍬

Eleanor redesign the official ones all suck

So she’s a supermodel-like robot, who looks like circus baby and has sharp teeth in the written book

So that’s my design

New commission!

This one was fun! I love the Folio Society editions generally, and of the Shakespeare plays, but why do they have the publisher/logo upside down?

"the secret to writing the perfect romance is to make them unable to live without the other person"

"the secret to writing the perfect romance is to make one fall first and the other fall harder"

wrong. the secret to writing the perfect romance is to establish them as individual characters first, with their own personal aspirations and fears, before introducing them to eachother so the characters can fall for characters that were actually written to be characters instead of shallowly written to play a part in a romance story.
