Angela Looks like a great list! A couple I have read & most others are on my wish list.


message 3: by Celeste (new)

Celeste You missed a great book. Carter Beats the Devil by Glen David Gold, but otherwise, I like the list very much; and found some new books to add to my list. Thanks.

Penny Hi there,
Just had another look at the list. 'The Night Circus' by Erin Morgenstern is on twice. Not sure if you know this or not but as a list owner you can do a duplicate search to remove the duplicates. What happens is that the votes get amalgamated for that title. If you're not sure how to do this - you just go into the 'edit' function at the end of your list description (just above the list votes) and click on 'Check for duplicates' - remember to save afterwards and you're done!
I do this every couple of weeks with my lists.
I had no idea how to do this until a kind person mentioned it, so now I like to pass on the favour.

Love this list BTW!
Penny :)

Amber PLEASE HELP!!!!!!
Hi everyone, I could use some help.

I've been searching for a paticular book that I read years ago but for the life of me cant recall the title or author (although I'm pretty sure the author is female).

The story involves a young girl and preteen boy running away to the circus. The boy tries his best to take care of the girl but gets restless and eventually leaves her with an older married couple.

The boy grows to become a successful business man and the girl becomes a popular jewlery designer when their paths again. There is an instant attraction but both have their hang ups and baggage.

A major plot point was that the girl is dating her own step brother but does not realize it, while having faint memories of being molested.

Does this ring a bell with anyone?

Juliette Caron Help! I'm looking for a young adult novel about about two teen girls who sneak out of their room at night to go to the carnival. One of the girls meets an attractive bad boy. The book is probably at least 10-15 years old. I remember googling the author and she died of cancer.

Have you tried
What's the Name of That Book???
yet? They've helped me out twice.

KP I read Light Between Oceans and I saw the film, and I don't remember a circus in either one.
