In honor of Before We Wake pubbing today, and my utter obsession with this amazing story I felt inspired to put together some more dreamy reads for all of you! These books have dreamy love interests, are daydream material, or take place IN a dream… In any case they are stellar reads that you will stay up far into the night—when you should be dreaming—to finish!
The book that started this blog post. WowwowWOW you guys need to trust me when I tell you to pick up this book—it’s so different than anything I have been reading lately in the BEST way possible. Through Alicia we experience an ethereal, paranormal, romance that takes place between the real world and lucid dreams. And this is of course dreamy in the sense it is a love story but also explores how sometimes we may be the thing in our own way, and to chase our dreams no matter how wild!!
Hehe.. you already know why this book made the cut;) You know I can’t resist a little pun—that, and the fact that this book is AMAZING. Though it takes place in a ‘dream world’ unfortunately this dream is more of a nightmare. The Kingdom of Noctis is plagued by Corruption: a curse that spreads through dreaming. When Esmer’s sister succumbs to said corruption, she follows the Shadow Bringer deep into the Dream Realm to try and save her. This prince of darkness has a haunted past, one that might change the fate of Esmer’s kingdom–and her heart–forever.
Starchaser… stars… the night sky… sleep… dreams… you get it… ok maybe it’s a tad of a stretch but c’mon this book is so good I’ll find any excuse to talk about it. The book that came after Nightweaver, and dare I say… this one was even better!! *Collective gasp* I know, I know seemingly impossible, but if you know you know. The Nightweaver series has me hooked (no pirate pun intended;)) with its romance, mind-bending twists, swoon-worthy moments I am SAT for when Cursebreaker comes out—and you will be too READ THESE BOOKS!
This title does have stars in the name too hehe, but that is not why it was chosen. This story is quite literally the sweetest, most adorable, slow burn neighbors to friends to lovers story ever. Honestly a story you daydream about having. THAT is why it’s in this blog. Another graphic novel, which adds to the longing looks, stolen glances, and tension between these two. Can’t say enough good things—and don’t worry the second volume is out in May, so we the fans shall stay fed.
Short stories!!! EEK I love a book of short stories—I feel it is the best way to get out of a reading slump. And these 13 stories take you to the magical hours between sunrise and sunset the night. We have twisty mysteries, time-slip tales, romance! Every story in the book is perfection. Anything is possible when the rest of the world is asleep and dreaming;)
I remember the summer before college… the future is simultaneously terrifying, and the thing you want more than anything! The summer after senior year Brandy is caught deciding between making her mom happy and pursuing what she loves—all the while dealing with the terribly annoying and stupidly handsome Ben Nolan who has no problem jumping into his dreams headfirst. Surrounded by the flashing lights at the town’s summer carnival Brandy is right in the center of a whirlwind… can she have one extraordinary night before everything changes? Taking place at night with a dreamy love interest it seemed like a no brainer to end this blog with! Happy reading, and sweet dreams!!
