Today Iโ€™m bringing you #cookiesandcurrentlyreading because I think at this point yโ€™all know that Iโ€™m always #coffeeandcurrentlyreading ๐Ÿ˜‚ Todayโ€™s cookies are from Bang Cookies and Iโ€™ve featured Espresso, Churro, and Chocolate Peanut butter to accessorize my current buddy read with @rachellelovesbooks ๐Ÿช As if this gorgeous cover needs accessorizing!

Last year I read A Witch in Time by Constance Sayers and just fell in love with the characters and plot, so when I read @marinareadit โ€˜s amazing review for The Ladies of the Secret Circus I just knew it was going to be a must read for me.

Both Rachelle and I are reading this book as part of @booksparks #SpringBookscope and Iโ€™m so grateful. We have fallen in love with this magical story, and we canโ€™t wait to see how it all comes together as we are getting close to the end.

This is a historical-fantasy book that has held me captive from the very beginning. There is a family secret, magic, mystery, art, Paris, music, history and so much more in this atmospheric story.

Thank you Book Sparks and Hachette Books for the gifted copy!

Synopsis: Paris, 1925: To enter the Secret Circus is to enter a world of wonderโ€”a world where women weave illusions of magnificent beasts, carousels take you back in time, and trapeze artists float across the sky. Bound to her family's circus, it's the only world Cecile Cabot knows until she meets a charismatic young painter and embarks on a passionate affair that could cost her everything.

Virginia, 2004:Lara Barnes is on top of the world, until her fiancรฉ disappears on their wedding day. When her desperate search for answers unexpectedly leads to her great-grandmotherโ€™s journals, Lara is swept into a story of a dark circus and ill-fated love.

Soon secrets about Laraโ€™s family history begin to come to light, revealing a curse that has been claiming payment from the women in her family for generations. A curse that might be tied to her fiancรฉโ€™s mysterious disappearance.
