The Night Circus and beyond: Book Club Picks for 2025-2026

Dear Santa Fe Tarot Tribe, and all our Bookish Diviners,

As a celebration of our 10 year anniversary, the offerings this book season reflect tarot novels we have already read. Much of the membership has changed since then so the titles maybe new to many of you. We start with The Night Circus ( in the library).

The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern was the first book our book club members read. It is described as "sparkling", as populated by "dueling magicians, precocious kittens, and complicated clocks." The circus is called Le Cirque des Reves, and only open at night.

We will look for Tarot references found in the book (or magic or divination or...). After discussing the book, we will do a tarot card spread based on what we gleaned from the book. Please bring your favorite deck.

RSVP as soon as possible as space is limited to 8 (and that includes me). Please alert me if there is a change in your plans and you cannot attend. This will allow people on the waitlist to have a chance to attend.

Please support our hosting cafe Annapurna with a purchase of food or drink.

FAQ: What if I don't finish the book? A: It's okay if you don't finish the book, not finishing is a critique in and of itself.

Should you want to read ahead here are the remaining titles for the 2025-2026 season:

Sepulchre by Kate Mosse Nov 2025 (in the library)
The Death of Mrs Westaway by Ruth Ware Jan 2026 (in the library)

(not in library)

Namaste, Dara
