The Night Circus

Erin Morgenstern · 2011

<b><b><b><i>NEW YORK TIMES</i> BESTSELLER </b>• Two starcrossed magicians engage in a deadly game of cunning in the spellbinding novel that captured the world's imagination. <b>•</b> "Part love story, part fable ... defies both genres and expectations." —<i>The Boston Globe</i><br><br></b></b>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 <i>Le Cirque des Rêves</i>, and it is only open at night. <br><br>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 both, this is a game in which only one can be left standing. Despite the high stakes, Celia and Marco soon tumble headfirst into love, setting off a domino effect of dangerous consequences, and leaving the lives of everyone, from the performers to the patrons, hanging in the balance.

Babel

R. F. Kuang • 2022

Instant #1 New York Times Bestseller from the author of The Poppy War   “Absolutely phenomenal. One of the most brilliant, razor-sharp books I've had the pleasure of reading that isn't just an alternative fantastical history, but an interrogative one; one that grabs colonial history and the Industrial Revolution, turns it over, and shakes it out.” -- Shannon Chakraborty, bestselling author of The City of Brass From award-winning author R. F. Kuang comes Babel, a thematic response to The Secret History and a tonal retort to Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell that grapples with student revolutions, colonial resistance, and the use of language and translation as the dominating tool of the British empire. Traduttore, traditore: An act of translation is always an act of betrayal. 1828. Robin Swift, orphaned by cholera in Canton, is brought to London by the mysterious Professor Lovell. There, he trains for years in Latin, Ancient Greek, and Chinese, all in preparation for the day he’ll enroll in Oxford University’s prestigious Royal Institute of Translation—also known as Babel. Babel is the world's center for translation and, more importantly, magic. Silver working—the art of manifesting the meaning lost in translation using enchanted silver bars—has made the British unparalleled in power, as its knowledge serves the Empire’s quest for colonization. For Robin, Oxford is a utopia dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge. But knowledge obeys power, and as a Chinese boy raised in Britain, Robin realizes serving Babel means betraying his motherland. As his studies progress, Robin finds himself caught between Babel and the shadowy Hermes Society, an organization dedicated to stopping imperial expansion. When Britain pursues an unjust war with China over silver and opium, Robin must decide… Can powerful institutions be changed from within, or does revolution always require violence?

Jennifer Chipman • 2022

Noelle Hastings<br/>I don't believe in love. Not anymore. Despite what my romance novels claim, there's no happy ending for me at the end of this journey.<br/>Instead, I'm just trying to get through my last semester of grad school while working as a Hall Director for my university. After all, I had my best friends in my life, so what use did I have for someone who was just going to leave me when they decided I wasn't good enough?<br/>And yet, somehow every time I am in the same room as him, it feels like every fuse on my body is lit. I can't explain this attraction to him, and even more, I can't explain the way his actions make me feel.<br/>How every day, he proves to me a little bit more that maybe it's okay to fall in love again.<br/><br/>Matthew Harper<br/>I've been told I'm a grump. Which is fine, really, because it keeps people from prying further into my life. I'm okay with the way things are, living alone, just my sister and my best friends in my life. I don't need anything more, because you know what they say: having it all just means you can lose it all. And I can't go through that again, so I'm protecting my heart.<br/>It's my second year teaching full time on campus, and that's when I meet her.<br/>And suddenly, everything else seems insignificant. Because I can't get her smile out of my mind, or the way she jokes with me. I want every smile she can give me, and so much more.<br/>But is dreaming of a future with her the very thing that would cause my ultimate downfall?<br/>Maybe, but all I know is that I am going to soak up every moment I can with her before I lose her.<br/><br/>Academically Yours is a steamy adult romance featuring a grumpy/sunshine couple, a hot professor, a romance book-loving girl, and two characters who learn to love again through each other.
