I love stories about carnivals and circuses - Water for Elephants is one of my all time favorite books, and I recently read The Night Circus and found the descriptions to be mesmerizing. Agree with you -- there's something fascinating about the setting. I selfishly hope you write this because it sounds right up my alley! :)SStokeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03607391693287377280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-20550526404132143192015-04-02T15:32:52.311-04:002015-04-02T15:32:52.311-04:00LOL, Nan.

And fortunately, I have never been terrorized by a clown. If you don't consider IT. That clown scared the heck out of me but then he turned out to be a not-so scary spider and all was well.

And I get sick on rides... yeah, I'm a downer... Great post, Margie and fun idea for a book!Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08809913527142033733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-9459032729602029342015-04-02T14:59:14.415-04:002015-04-02T14:59:14.415-04:00That's a great idea!

LOL<br /><br />And in my opinion, there's a different vibe to carnivals than fairs or amusement parks. Something that harkens back to the past.Margiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03843006118151762550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-26134883502017474922015-04-02T14:53:10.225-04:002015-04-02T14:53:10.225-04:00I love carnivals!

We rarely see them here, I think because there is a huge amusement park in our town, but when they do come we always go to walk around...and eat too much cotton candy! The people who work carnivals fascinate me, too, maybe you should go interview one or two to see if anything sparks your imagination for your book! :DKristina Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13674920511835640874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-54496365713279343862015-04-02T14:38:43.949-04:002015-04-02T14:38:43.949-04:00I love those things!
