Waiting on Wednesday – That Time I Joined The Circus by J.J. Howard
January 9th, 2013 || Posted in Waiting on Wednesday || 10 comments
Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly Meme hosted by Jill @ Breaking the Spine. Every week again Book bloggers all over the world will eagerly present upcoming books they can’t wait to get their hands on.
I loved the circus when I was a kid and this books reminds how fantastic it was to dive into a circus show and get lost in all the amazing events. For this alone I have to read this book.
Author: J.J. Howard
A music-obsessed, slightly snarky New York City girl, Lexi is on her own. After making a huge mistake—and facing a terrible tragedy— Lexi has no choice but to track down her long-absent mother. Rumor has it that Lexi’s mom is somewhere in Florida with a traveling circus.
When Lexi arrives at her new, three-ring reality, her mom isn’t there…but her destiny might be. Surrounded by tigers, elephants, and trapeze artists, Lexi finds some surprising friends and an even more surprising chance at true love. She even lucks into a spot as the circus’s fortune teller, reading tarot cards and making predictions.
But then Lexi’s ex-best friend from home shows up, and suddenly it’s Lexi’s own future that’s thrown into question…
With humor, wisdom, and a dazzlingly fresh voice, this debut reminds us of the magic of circus tents, city lights, first kisses, last heartaches, and the importance of an excellent playlist.

I haven’t seen a circus in real life, but there is something magical about it when it’s used in books :) The cover is also very nice.

This one is on my TBR list! It sounds like such a different contemporary read that I had to add it on! I don’t always read contemporary so it has to be something different for me to add it and this one certainly fit the bill! Very cool premise. Happy reading.
