[Roger, Knight Radiant]

If you are looking for a book for Robin's second challenge I highly highly recommend The Night Circus. Such a great book that I might do a re-read for the challenge.

[Wayland, Ernest Scribbler]

Night Circus was indeed a fantastic book. I'm trying to avoid rereads, but there are only so many books about circuses...

[Roger, Knight Radiant]

Wayland wrote: "Night Circus was indeed a fantastic book. I'm trying to avoid rereads, but there are only so many books about circuses..."

Yup, I remember looking for quite a while before I could even find the one, definitely one of the harder ones to find

[Wayland, Ernest Scribbler]

Yeah. I've read Night Circus, Water for Elephants. Maybe there's a bio on Barnum or something...

[Shawnie]

Wayland wrote: "Night Circus was indeed a fantastic book. I'm trying to avoid rereads, but there are only so many books about circuses..."

Carniepunk Shorts, all related to carnivals.

[Rinn, (Retired mod) Captain of the SSV Normandy]

Revival features a travelling carnival.

[Wayland, Ernest Scribbler]

I've got a few lined up now, it's just an oddly specific topic to keep recurring, and even more odd when I've read so many of them already. Something Wicked This Way Comes works, too, which was a great book.

[Rachel]

I was going to recommend Something Wicked This Way Comes, too. It was a fantastic book. :)

[Roger, Knight Radiant]

Thanks, I like all the circus recommendations, it's a hard thing to search the internet for...I know the Wheel Of Time has a few books with the traveling circus as well, but I think it's like books 8-10 or something and I am not ready to do a full on re-read of that series.

[Wayland, Ernest Scribbler]

Nights at the Circusby Angela Carter, by coincidence, is what I'm reading right now.

[Wayland, Ernest Scribbler]

And since we've talking about the ones for Robin so much, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that for Robin's 1st one, Dynamic Duo, anthology that I'm in, HeroNet Files Book 1has both the sidekick issues and two characters on the cover going for it. I'm hoping that doesn't warrant a "just an author plug" since I like to think I'm fairly active here and rarely mention my own works.

Would anyone like to volunteer for Marvel Team Captain? Do we want to open the portal first to choose an additional hero? I'll put this one towards the portal. :) Really liked the book, btw. Broke down and bought the nook version.

[Lel]

I dont mind being the team captain for Marvel if no one else would like the job. :)

[Rinn, (Retired mod) Captain of the SSV Normandy]

I'm happy for whomever to be the team captain. If you really want to be, Lel, that's fine by me :D

[Shawnie]

Thanks, Lel!

[Christina]

I would be good with Lel as Marvel team captain as well. :)

[Brendan]

Lel is good with me.

[Roger, Knight Radiant]

Tried to read Catch 22 for a comedy and I just can't, the author is just trying way too hard to be funny.

[Wayland, Ernest Scribbler]

Catch 22 was an effort to get through. I'm not sorry I did, but I can certainly see it not being for everyone. It wasn't really for me, either, I'm just stubborn.

Screw it, I already started a book a week or so ago that fits perfectly for Catwoman's Love/Hate, so it looks like I'll be fighting DC this year!

Edit: Quite possibly a huge mistake because it looks like the Marvel themed categories would be more up my alley. Ah well. GO DC!

I'm always unbalanced, Rinn, ask anyone. :P

Hahaha!

I feel that's pretty normal in terms of superheroes too... :P
