The Night Circus: A Novel by Erin Morgenstern

September 21, 2020 by ElCicco 1 Comment

Cbr12bingo I wish… Bingo (vertical from Roaring ‘20s) When I chose to read The Night Circus, I had planned to use it for the “Cannonballer Says” bingo square. It has been a very popular book among Cannonballers since its release in 2011, but as I got pulled into the story, I found that this is definitely an “I wish” book.
