As you might've heard, I'm in the process of going through my boxes of books as I unpack from the big ole move this year (where Krista and I split for the first time 🤧), and we have a handful of extra original editions that we know so many readers have been searching for! So as promised, this is the first of likely many giveaway drops featuring obscure/old editions of our books.

This is the OG edition of Amour Amour (which is now titled The Failed Audition). It's possibly one of our all-time fav covers. It's matte (so a more velvety texture), and the height matches the OG edition of Infini. Note: there is a shorter height version of Amour Amour that released before the "tall" version. This is NOT the short version.

✨ The Prize ✨

The OG edition of Amour Amour plus some OG swag! The classic Aerial Ethereal postcard and the sticker with the quote "I'm average. I've been average most of my life, but there are moments where I feel extraordinary."

✨ To Enter ✨

Thora is my favorite!!! She’s so real and strong 💕💕

Kristiana

I haven’t read it yet, but I used to love going to the circus when I was little and I can’t wait to dive into this one and get all the feels!!

❥ Cait (The Carraway’s #1 fan)

This is so cute !!! 🥹🩷 My favorite is Katya!! I related to her **soooo deeply** since I’m the only girl in my family and was forced to deal with my brothers by myself (🤧). I felt like Kayta was such a special character and I loved getting a glimpse into her life and seeing how she dealt with her girlhood in such unique circumstances!! 🩷🩷

Gabriela Seguesse

I have the short OG version hahah I agree, this is one of the most beautiful covers 💕 My fave is Thora!

Briana💫

Timo is my favoriteee I love how unpredictable and funny he is 🌟

Meagan

I want to say Thora because she is an Ohio girlie like me but I love Camila. I know she is a side character and we don’t see much of her but I love her spunk. She was so funny and I always found myself smiling reading her scenes.

violet

omg omg!!! i really love thora. i relate to her alot - she’s my fav!!! 🤍🤍🤍

shi luvs st.cobalt

THIS IS SO EXCITING! THANK YOU FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY! 🥹🤎 It’s so hard to choose a favorite character! I adore them all! If I 𝘩𝘢𝘥 to pick a favorite, I would choose John! :) I know that we haven’t been inside of his head, but I appreciate his sense of humor! “You know what they say, you fuck a Kotova and you go directly to hell. No passing Go.” is one of my favorite lines in the series, I think about it at least once a week! I’m also curious about his relationship with Timo (who I adore and want to slither into the brain of)! Their banter was so fun, I hope we get to explore their characters more in the future (time machines will be invented soon, I just know it)! 🤞 Once again, thank you both for giving all of us this opportunity! I’m so grateful! :) 🤎🤎🤎

Bea (never.stopreading)

I honestly can’t choose because I LOVE the Kotovas but I’ll say Dimitri just because I can’t wait to read his *possible* future interactions with Connor Cobalt one day lol

S (Charlie's version)

I love Katsya !!! With white heart !!! But I really love all the kotovas !!!

maría fernanda 🧚🏻‍♀️

I haven’t read yet, but i’m SO EXCITED!!!! I absolutely loved Centerstage!!! I used to watch it all the time growing up 😭 I’ve never been to the circus but i’d love to go!!!

rachrachrach1

TIMO! I love all his interactions, his personality, and always love when he’s in a scene because he brings such happiness to the people around him! I saw Cirque de Soleil a few years ago in Vegas, but was unfortunately before I read Circus is Family. Always hoping for more books in this series 💖💖

Morgane

Ahh this is exciting !! I love Camila she is such a girl’s girl and a badass I need to be her friend sooo bad. Thanks a lot for everything you guys do for us I have so much fun reading all the bonus scene

Deb

Nikolai. Just yum.

Oliviasfantasyreads

I have been on the search for this version!!! 😍 Nikolai Kotova is one of my swoon worthy book boyfriends!!!!

Jani

Guls it’s my time to shine because the couple of this book are my favorite after raisy of course, sooo my favorite is Thora like her I have been told I couldn’t do something and her leaving school and go for something she wanted and put her entire heart on it was SPEAKING to me, I also loved how funny and enchanting she was, and obviously I do have a thing for Russian men so Niko was ++++. I will now proceed to insert my favorite quote 🤍 “l've found the truest form of love. It's two loves that can live in harmony." Now I need more from this series ( Krista & Becca pretty please give us a book on this series 🙏🏼🙏🏼 )

Miranda Lefebvre 🌷🤍

Thora is my favorite character because I find her so inspiring that she went after her dreams even though many people advised against it. I wish I had that kind of confidence! 🫶

Priyanka Shah

I haven’t read the circus is family series yet but it’s so high on my TBR!! I went to a cirque du soleil show once and was so impressed!!

Keely Melton

Dimitri!! He’s basically the reason I read the series lol! All because of the rumor that Roxanne will be dating Charlie 🙈🙈 I think I love the Cobalts too much so the love extends to him 😆

Nicole E Tucker

TIMO I think he is the life of the party.

Kelly.

Ok I’m about to show my age here but I actually saw center stage in the movie theater. And I have been to the circus 🎪. Everyone is very passionate about this series would love to read!

Thania Solorio

The way I stopped everything to enter this!! 🏃‍♀️ If I had to narrow it down it would be Nikolai. I resonate soo much with being his passion for family and the way he chose to take on certain parental responsibilities. Doesn’t hurt that he’s a tall glass of water and had me yelling out “he did what?!?” while I read this book. 🥛😂

Anna Marie

Oooh tough question! I do love Luka. 😍

Lauren Gibbs

Ahhhh, as a Circus is Family fan this is SO FUN!!! ✨️😍✨️ My favorite is probably Thora because she's so strong and never gives up, I really admired her! ✨️

Taylor Fergus

NIKOLAI definitely. He’s the one that’s stuck with me the most vividly since reading the series.

deareaderzoe

Sooooo happy to see Circus is Family love !!!! Forever missing this bunch 💚💚 Hard to pick but maybe Nik, he’s such an amazing partner and brother - love how protective and caring he is in everything he does !! Plus he’s super hot and a giant so🤩

linzifer13

Timo is my favorite! I love his interactions with Thora and John. I need a book about him yesterday. I’ve been wanting a third book about him since I read these years ago

cass (ben’s version)

OMG I CANT BELIEVE THIS!!! i’m in LOVE with these editions . my favorite has to be luka. when i read infini, i literally just could not put it down. i think i finished it the day i started it. his story brought me in and made me feel so much.

Laila

Ohh I think my favorite is Nikolai.

as.seen.on.stevie

Oh god. This is so hard to pick! I love all of the Kotovas and could make a case for them, or Camila or John because of how fun they are (although I'm sure John wouldn't appreciate me calling him fun lol). But I truly have to go with the girl that started it all, Thora James. I love Thora for her optimism and dedication. For her kindness and compassion. She's the heart of Amour Amour and the book wouldn't work as well without her. she inspires me

Carmela

Omg I cannot choose just one😱 I love Timo and how funny he is and I also love Katya bc she’s so supportive of her family. But I also loveee Thora for her perseverance💜 I know Roxanne will soon be my new fav!

Ari

Finally! But this is hard you guys 😫 I think my favorite are Thora obv, but I have something with Camila, she's sassy and I liked her so much that I can't wait to see more of her🫶🏼 thank u for the opportunity

Juliana Restivo

Timoooooooo. Cause he’s so funny❤️❤️🤣🤣

Kira Marie

Thora has to be my favorite! I was older than her when I first read the book but I kept thinking that I wanted to be her when I grew up. Her determination and passion were so well written and watching her fight for both of her loves was super inspiring.

Brooke jean

I haven’t read this yet, but I would love to! I love the addicted, Calloway, like us series so much. It’s my favorite series of all time. I recently read dishonestly yours and I loved it just as much! ❤️❤️❤️

G

OMG BEST GIVEAWAY EVER!!! I think Timo is my favourite (it changes every week 😅) Despite not having his pov Timo embodies what circus life is all about and I think he encapsulates the beauty and art of the circus! Every Timo appearance feels a little bit magical and I love that you can feel his passion, determination and love for the circus especially when Thora watches Amour for the first time. That chapter might be one of my favourite chapters every written because it feels so cinematic. I also love that Timo is a light in the series he brings joy and energy to the people around him but he also feels like a deeply emotional character. 🎪🩷✨ Center Stage is a classic in my opinion that everyone needs to watch🤭 I haven’t been to any circus shows but I adore the Algeria soundtrack!!

Crime_whore

Yess!!I Timo is my favorite!!he’s just so unapologetically him and he’s sassy 😂

lea

Omg I need them so bad😭😭💗 I fell in love w Katya when I first read I really wanted to see a book for her!!☹️ I loved seeing her go through girlhood especially w a family full of guys 😭 but I also really love Camila and Dimitri they were what made me start the series when I found out Roxanne was their daughter and I’m absolutely obsessed w Charlie and Roxanne 💌💌

shi luvs st.cobalt

Isn’t this so exciting?! 🥹 I’m sending good luck + vibes your way for this one, Cass! ✨🦄

Sara

I haven’t read this series yet but really want to💜🩵💜

Maria Espinal

It’s been so long since I’ve read this but I think I’ll say Timo is my favorite. And yes, I’ve seen (and LOVED) Center Stage and have been to a Cirque Du Soleil show. 🥰

Natalie 👽🤍

omg I asked a question about these books in your circus family podcast! I’ve been searching for the original covers forever!!! I love Luka I feel like he internalized so much of his trauma and pain but wanted to be a bright light for those around him and when he realized his family had his back at the end it was sooo beautiful. Already subscribed to the newsletter 🗞️

Andrea

*not entering* just have to say how beautiful this cover is 😍 missing the kotovas and thora and baylee so much right now. I think Camila is my favorite 🙂‍↕️

Jazmin

my favourite character is thora because i aspire to be as brave as her! <33

sinagaraw

Amalia Maragoto

I have been searching for YEARS to find these to read them for the first time 😭 I love circuses I’ve been to so many Cirque Du Soleil and other circuses that have passed by my town. It is always so fun! 🥹

Alicia (@aliciakayreads)

I haven't read these yet, but I have been to the circus as a child and it was so much fun!!

Kelsey🤍

My favorite is definitely Thora! I loved her pov so much! She’s so funny and sweet and I admire her resilience and hard work! Also Thoralai💕

Amanda

Centre Stage was one of my favourite movies as a child. I think it is time for a rewatch ❤️ I used to love visiting the circus as a child. One of my dreams was to be a trapeze artist.

Kayla Reynolds

I haven’t read these yet, but I have the new covers on my shelf! It’s definitely one of the ones I think I’ll gravitate to once I finish nobody like us and am itching for more of your guys’ writing!

Iliana

Nikolai!! ✨

Jadyn

i haven’t read this one yet but it’s on my tbr! i also haven’t been to the circus or seen center stage 🫣 but i’ve heard such good things abt the kotova’s and would love to get to know more abt roxanne’s family!

I love Camila, she is cool, sassy and romantic. Plus, she is a Latina like me and the mom of Roxanne, who is going to be the love interest of my fav character of all time!. ❤️❤️

Indy

I haven’t read it yet but I’m so so excited to start! I’ve heard a lot about it from my friend so I believe I will love the book! This would make my collection complete 🤩🤩🥰💗

Maria Mik

When I was very little, I went to a circus with my grandparents. I remember It was an amazing experience and it's one of my best and last memories of my grandparents🥹 And I haven't read this book, but I think it would be amazing and bring back so many memories.❤️

Ella

I havent read this one, yet, but i want to so bad! i remember going to the circus when i was really young but i mostly just remember there being peanuts everywhere because of the elephants. ive always wanted to go to a circus show with acrobats, but ive never had the chance.

Madison

my fav is luka!! i just feel like i relate so much to him and love his character so much!! circus is my favorite series and i really hope you guys pick it back up one day!!

Mariana Torres Simão

My fave is definetly Thora, she's amazing so hardworking and so sweet! Love this edition 🩷

Ana

Thora was my fave. I think this was actually the first book I read by you guys and absolutely loved it since then I have read almost all of them. I love the original covers I was so bummed I never got the physical books.

Ceri young

I have never read this series but I would love to ! I remember going to the circus with my family when I was really young and I loved it but I haven’t been for years !

Maral

I haven’t read the series yet😩🫣 I went to a circus show when I was little🎪

Jordan Lilly

I honestly have such a hard time picking but I love Thora and Nikolai so much🥹💞Thora is so incredibly brave and Nik is so protective and loving i’m obsessed

Elizabeth

Nikolai is my favourite for sure. I love this book so much.

Lexi Krasny

Nikolai is my favorite. Even though he had to take over caring for his siblings, he still loves them and nurtures them, and that care carries over to his relationship with Thora. He helps her flourish but still pushes her — and can still be sexy, sneaky about how he handles her 😝

terra

Nikolai is definitely my favorite! His love for his family and also for Thora is just unmatched! Thank you for writing their story🫶🏻

Samita

Nikolai is literally my man! I would absolutely die if I got the og cover 😩

Dana Hasan

Thora is my fav because she never give up even when it hard ! I really hope to win for my birthday suprise !🥰

Est2000

Nikolai is my favourite!! His love for his family is top tier!!!!!!!!!

heyisdre

I have been to a circus in my town, and all I remember are the piranhas 😂

m

Luka and Baylee together are my favourites. They went through so much together and individually and persevered which I’ll always love love.

Shayna

My fav is a tie between Thora and Katya!!! Also the OG covers are my favorite 🥰!!!!!!

Arrow

I have such a hard time choosing! I think Timo is my favorite character. He gives me some Tom/Eliot vibes, so his character made me so excited for the Cobalt Empire. I also really like Dimitri. He is hilarious.

Rachel

Ahh love the movie Center Stage!! I was a dancer growing up so that is an OG fave!

Elara

Katya…youngest daughters always get me haha. Timo is a close second.

jupiter

thora and camilla my mothers 🥺🫶 i miss and love them so much 🫂 and if no one got me ik a strong female character will!

Sunny E

I loved the movie Center Stage so much!! I grew up dancing (ballet and jazz). Such fond memories of that movie. I might need to do a rewatch. I even own the DVD.

Sunny E

Hey, same!

Mandi

thora was absolutely my favourite she was just so amazing and i loved her and nikolai soooso much!!!!

meztli ✨

Katya is my favorite just cause she’s a free spirt. I went to see cirque de solei earlier this year.

Lea

Thora is my favourite! I just find her so relatable with how hard she works to get what she wants!

Olivia

Thora - her determination is admirable!

Annie R

Thora. Her unwillingness to quit ❤️

Jess

Timo got me

Shelby Keating

I haven’t read it in a while- probably due for a reread soon lol- but I remember loving Luka and Baylee, but then theres also Camila… very hard to pick

Dasha

Nikolai - he will watch any TV show with Katya (even if he doesn’t like it), because he’s the best big bro 🥹

Alexandra

omg i'm so excited about this, i love the og titles and covers of this series so much! i love luka so much, i think his character and back story and struggles with mental health (i don't want to spoil anyone with specifics) are one of the most unique ones i've read in your books or even in general. and he's just so loving to baylee

Julie

I have not read this series, but I have read all the Addicted and Like Us books and LOVE THEM! I would love to read this as well. I have seen Center Stage and have been to a Circus.
