This month at the Academy

Each month, the Footnote Friend Literary Academy centres around a shared book.

January’s Academy Read: The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern

A black-and-white circus that appears without warning.
A duel disguised as wonder.
A love story woven through illusion, fate, and impossible magic.

The Night Circus invites you into a world where nothing is quite as it seems and every detail matters. Told through lush, dreamlike vignettes, this is a story about control and freedom, performance and sacrifice, and what happens when love dares to interrupt a carefully constructed game.

Read slowly. Linger. Let the magic unfold.

You’re invited to read alongside other Academy members throughout the month. There’s no required pace and no pressure to keep up—engage as much or as little as feels right for you.
