Magical Realism is one of my favorite genres! I adore The Night Circus, The Water Dancer, The Time Traveler’s Wife, and literally anything by Sarah Addison Allen. Recent favorites are the first 2 books in what is supposed to be a longer “Todd Family” series: Life After Life and A God in Ruins. I tried 100 Days of Solitude (that you mentioned) but I struggled through it. I do want to get Love in the time of Cholera, though!
