Looking for books about a circus – set at one, or otherwise mentioned in the book.
Flight of the starling x very good book
The Night Circus and Caravel
The Night Circus by Erin Morgensterns is wonderful. Freeks by Amanda Hocking for YA, also The Life She was Given by Ellen Marie Wiseman was beautifully tragic.
The Night Circus. Water For Elephants. The Immortal Circus.
Caraval was SO GOOD
Water for elephants
The night circus, Caraval, freeks
Water for elephants.
I’ve only read Caraval and Water for elephants. And loved them
The Midnight Circus
Night circus
Pantomime by Laura Lam. (I’d suggest The Night Circus, but others already have.)
Water for Elephants
Daughter of the Burning City
The orphans tale (on my tbr list)
This is very good. Circus and WWII.
Ghost boy
Girl on a Wire by Gwenda Bond
Twilight Eyes by Dean Koontz takes place in carnival setting. A good one. ??
Caraval!! Such an amazing read!!

The Immortal Circus series was pretty good.
That’s on my TBR. I’ve got them locked and loaded on my Kindle.
I always really liked these!
The Book of Speculation
Did you enjoy it? I read it and I had some mixed feelings about it
@Sehba no not really. But my sister and the rest of our book club who read it loved it, so I thought I’d throw it out.
The Palace of Laughter
A Son of the Circus by John Irving and Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen
Two great books
The circus Olivia Levez on my TBR list. I love circus books too.
Water for elephants by Sara Gruen. One of the best books I’ve ever read.
I recently started The Orphan’s Tale by Pam Jenoff, there’s a circus in this book!!
Full Tilt. So good!!!!
Hearts of Fire by L.H Cosway (all the books in the Hearts series is good – on the steamy side 😉 )
The Life She Was Given by Wiseman
The Vagabon Circus series by Sarah Noffke is great, it’s YA and paranormal. Great characters
The night circus
The Night circus
The Wanderers by Kate Ormand – it’s YA, shape-shifters hide together in a traveling circus ?
I have a book called Orphans of the Carnival. I haven’t read it yet so I’m not sure what it’s about ?
I was about to write the same!?
Everyone is saying the night circus, but really, the night circus. For what it’s worth, I hated water for elephants ?
Something Wicked This Way Comes
The Gracekeepers
The Night Circus
Page Habit’s September LitFic book was “The Trick” by Emanuel Bergmann and has a lot of scenes set at the circus! Plus it’s really good! Also “The Night Circus” is absolutely phenomenal! “Caraval” is amazing as well. “Girl on a Wire” by Gwenda Bond is a fun read. And if you like dark fantasy and borderline NA (New Adult) the “Immortal Circus” series by A.R Kahler is good (well I enjoyed the first one… the other two got a little too weird for me) but I think it’s only available for ebook…. hope those help. I’m slightly obsessed with circus books! Hahaha!
Water for Elephants
Geek Love by Katherine Dunn, Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury, and The Book of Speculation by Erika Swyler
The girl on a rope (I think this is the name)
Circ du Freak-Darran Shan

Menagerie by Rachel Vincent

Joyland by Stephen King is set at a carnival. Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury is set at circus.
Carniepunk. It’s an anthology by several fairly well-known authors.
The Night Circus and Caraval
Pantomime by Laura Lam
Water For Elephants is one of my top five of all time ❤️
This one is really old and might be difficult to find, but it is called Circus Sequins and is by Elisabeth Hamilton Friermood. Also, for a newer book, Gunslinger Girl by Lindsey Ely has a circus ish setting.
The Night Circus is a beautiful book.
Caraval
Entwined lynda la plante
With a little black magic added…The Night Circus.
