Lady Godiva Attends the Circus S1E02

from Lit & Liquor · host Lit & Liquor

The circus arrives sometime after midnight—bringing with it a tempting combination of Godiva chocolate and red wine. This week we explore the ever-changing line between good and evil in two Circus-based books: Ray Bradbury’s “Something Wicked This Way Comes” and “The Night Circus” by Erin Morgenstern. Over chocolate martinis and an Apothic Dark Red Blend, our trio discuss the call of the calliope, what is good without evil, and the struggles of eating hardened Godiva chocolate off a martini glass.Join us next week for a Mardi Gras/New Orleans episode, reading A Sheetcake Named Desire by Jacklyn Brady and The Witching Hour by Anne Rice.
