#20daybookchallenge #Booksky Having wrapped up the 20-day book challenge, I notice that (in addition to a large number of star and sword cover images) for many there is a theme of hopefulness, which is unexpected but comforting in difficult times.

Book Cover: The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. On a field of night with tiny stars, a cupped hand holds black-and-white striped circus tents and a clock with hands at slightly after midnight.
