Maggie is off-the-walls excited about these two books! Join her as she drags Cam along through the magical worlds that Erin Morgenstern and Susanna Clarke expertly created. Romanticism, atmosphere, beauty, and surrealism unite these two stories, while narrative style and story structure create vastly different reading experiences. Both books feature male protagonists written by female authors, and both unabashedly engage in "the meta" in ways that make your head spin. These two books are a triumph, and we hope you enjoy Maggie's enthusiastic analysis coupled with Cam's (insightful but stuffy-nosed) perspective and reactions.
