Hi there, Bookies!

I’m Brigitt Hauck, the editorial assistant over here at RealSimple.com, and I’ll be your May book club leader. I’m a bookworm at heart, so I’ve been secretly hoping for the chance to lead the discussion since I first started here just over a year ago.

I’m thrilled you chose The Night Circus, by Erin Morgenstern, because it just so happened to get my vote too. I don’t always go for the fantasy pick, but I’ve heard nothing but praise for this enchanting novel. So, here’s to a magical month!

Let’s break up our reading this way:

Part 1 for next Friday, May 4.

Part 2 for Friday, May 11.

Part 3 for Friday, May 18.

And we’ll finish with Parts 4 and 5 on Thursday, May 24, before the long holiday weekend.

I’ll be back next week with some thoughts on Part 1. Until next time, grab your book and enjoy!
