We’re back with our monthly book club and here’s our next episode of the #EJKMBookClub. Each month, one of us chooses a book and makes the other three read it, and this time, it was Kassiah’s turn to choose our book.
This month Kassiah chose: The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern!
This episode is all about The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. In last month’s book club episode, Kassiah mentioned choosing this book because 1. She lved it, 2. because Meg and Jaime had never read it and she and Erin thought that was a sort of travesty, and 3. because Morgenstern’s next book, The Starless Sea will be out soon (November 5). As with all of our other book club episodes, we had mixed reactions, so have a listen and join us with your thoughts about this book using the #EJKMBookClub hashtag on instagram and twitter. And like with the other books we’ve discussed that are years old, we do have some SPOILERS ahead. We tried to keep it down, really. We’ll also be announcing our next month’s pick in this episode.
