Hey guys, it's Alicia and welcome back to my channel and let's go to the circus! I love the circus. Or I mean I should probably say I love the idea of the circus. I think I've been to the circus once that I can remember and even then it was probably a stretch on what you would consider a circus. I would consider a circus. I think they said it was a circus but I've always loved the idea of the circus. The greatest showman is one of my all-time favorite movies and Madagascar 3. Hello, it's based around a circus and I love that movie. So anything to do with the circus, sign me up. Maybe minus the clowns, not 100% on board with that. But other than that, I'm down for a circus and there's a book that is coming out and it is themed around a circus. And that had me starting to search my shelves. I realized that I have quite a few books that are circus-y-ish. If they don't directly deal with the circus, they have circus elements. So I thought that I would share them because who does not love a good circus book? Now it is quite possible that I have missed them considering the fact that I have so many books that I have not read. But I really don't think so because I don't hear much talk about circus books and when I do, I typically see the same like three getting recommended. So the pile is not very big because again, I really don't think that I have that many that deal with the circus. I hope more people write about it. I think it would be a lot of fun. I think it would be super cool to see a contemporary circus book because all of the ones I have are historical. But if anybody has any other circus suggestions, let me know in the comments. Let's chat about it. But without further ado, I am just going to get into my circus books. My circus book recommendations. Recommendations might be a strong word because again, I haven't read all these. But my circus books that I have on myself. The first books I'm going to talk about are probably the like stretch on the word circus, but they kind of work into that idea. The Brookstone Brides series by Tracy Peterson. So it is when you are near wherever you go, what comes my way. And I say that these are, I put these in the circus box because they are a Wild West extravaganza. It's an all women wild west extravaganza. So she's a trick writer in this book. She's a sharp shooter and she is also a trick writer. And then they do other things. And obviously there's other elements to the books. I've read this one. I haven't read this yet. But I have read this one. Really enjoyed it. And I really did enjoy the aspect of it being a Wild West extravaganza. And to me that gives circus vibes in a way. Then I have these two books. I have not read them yet, but they are on my list for at some point. And that is The Ringmaster's Wife and the Illusionist of Prentice by Kristi Cambrid. Look at the covers. Or just again, don't know what they're about, but typically when you ask for circus book recommendations, these are the two that get recommended the most. Then the third book that gets recommended the most. Probably like the number one circus book. If you've asked, hey, do you have a recommendation for a circus book anywhere on the internet? This book has probably been recommended to you. And I have read this and really enjoyed it. And I kind of want to read it again. And that is The Lady in the Line Heart by Joanna Bishoffi. This cover, if you can. It's gorgeous. I love this cover so much. The back design is super cool too. Like her braid. Love it. But this one I think he is a, yeah, he's a lion tamer. And then she's a nurse. Town is like not big on the circus because it's historical. Like all these things. And I just want to read it again because I remember it being really good. But that is a circus book. I highly recommend that one for sure. The next one I have, I actually got in Missouri when I was with Jen and Audrey last year. No, nothing about it. Have you already yet? But it's called Embrace Me. And it is a circus book about the side shows. I think that's like, you know, the lizard woman, the tattooed man and all those people. So I'm excited to give it a go. Again, haven't read it. So can't necessarily recommend it. But I'm assuming based on the cover that it's a circus book. We'll see. I'll let you know if I'm wrong. And then we'll talk about the book that started this whole idea. And that is the weight of air by Kimberly Duffy. And look at this. It's gorgeous. This is also another historical. And this is about the girl who is the, is Europe's strongest woman. And then it's about another lady who is America's most fetted aerialist. It says, as Mabel and Isabella's lives become entangled beneath the glittering lights and the flying trapeze of Madison Square Garden, the resiliency and resolve are tested as they learn the truth of what it means to be strong. So I'm super excited about this. Those were my, the circus books that I have on myself. Again, I can't necessarily recommend all of them because I haven't read all of them. But if you are interested in checking any of them out, go for it. Let me know in the comments below. If you have read any of these, if you have any other circus book recommendations that you didn't see on this list, or if you know of any off the top of your head. And if you enjoy circus books and entertainment as in the Greatest Shaman, or if you've seen Madagascar 3, Europe's most haunted because that is a very good circus book movie. It's a movie, a circus movie. But yeah, don't forget you can check out my blog at the Love of Christian Fiction.blocks.com. You can check out my Instagram at the Love of Christian Fiction.
