9 posts | 27 read | 22 to read
One night, when a strange red moon fills the sky, six school girls find themselves in an abandoned theme park, drawn there by a mysterious force. A student has just been found dead. Everyone suspects suicide. Everyone - except them.In that derelict fairground an ancient prophecy is revealed. They are The Chosen Ones, a group of witches, bound together by a power, one which could destroy them all. But they soon learn that despite their differences they need each other in order to master the forces that have been awakened within them. High school is now a matter of life and death. Because the killing has only just begun.

The Circle: Book I (The Engelsfors Trilogy) | Mats Strandberg, Sara B. Elfgren

Despite the length of the novel (may be off putting to some people) it gave each character their own story, and this was enjoyable to read. It certainly gave you more opportunity to get to know them as to who they are, and it shows how their newfound abilities shape them for the next books to come.

Fast paced, engaging YA about witches. I‘ll read the other two in the series eventually.

Worked an 11 hour day yesterday, got home at midnight, my partner needed me to do like a million things before I could go to bed, and I had to be up at 7 to come to work today. On five hours' sleep, I need light reading. Hope this does the trick.

tricours Is this Swedish crime? 8y
minkyb That is quite a day! 8y
bookishkai @tricours it's Swedish, but it's teen witches. @minkyb I ended up taking a nap while my nanny kid napped. Too tired to read, in the end. 8y
BeckyLeJ Oh, I love this trilogy!!! 8y
tricours I should have known it wasn't crime, I've read a decent zombie book by Strandberg! 8y

Day 21 #somethingforsept is #translatedbooks: these are the first ones that came to mind. I haven't read The Circle yet: picked it up on our anniversary trip at the American Swedish Institute in Minneapolis earlier this year along with the postcard in the background which shows a watercolor painting by the Swedish artist featured when we were there, Lars Lerin. Loved his artwork so much!
I may need to move this one up on my tbr list 📚🇸🇪

BibliophileMomma Oh that cover. 8y
MeganAnn @Tiffness83 Yes! That's what drew me to this book! 😍 8y
