Waiting on Lucid by Adrienne Stoltz and Ron Bass
“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Breaking the Spine to shine a spotlight on upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.
Lucid
By Adrienne Stoltz and Ron Bass
Razorbill
To be released Oct. 12, 2012
What if you could dream your way into a different life? What if you could choose to live that life forever?
Sloane and Maggie have never met. Sloane is a straight-A student with a big and loving family. Maggie lives a glamorously independent life as an up-and-coming actress in New York. The two girls couldn’t be more different–except for one thing. They share a secret that they can’t tell a soul. At night, they dream that they’re each other.
The deeper they’re pulled into the promise of their own lives, the more their worlds begin to blur dangerously together. Before long, Sloane and Maggie can no longer tell which life is real and which is just a dream. They realize that eventually they will have to choose one life to wake up to, or risk spiraling into insanity. But that means giving up one world, one love, and one self, forever.
This is a dazzling debut that will steal readers’ hearts.

Oooh, interesting, right? I loved the only other dream book I’ve read, the Wake series by Lisa McMann, and I’m excited to see a new take on this topic.

About Me
I read. A lot. Mostly whatever YA novels the library has on hold for me that week. Sometimes grown-up books if my book club makes me.

I haven’t read any books about dreams, so this should be interesting ! Great pick.

This definitely sounds interesting. It reminds me of a TV series that started this year. I think was called Awake. I’d love to get a chance to read this one when it comes out. Great pick!

You know… this isn’t my kind of book but I love a story set in NY and anything about actresses so for that, I’m going to add it to my ever growing pile of books to read. By the time I have 10 kids running around, I’m sure I’ll read it. (I kid, I kid!) hahaha I just realized how “punny” that is. (I’m tired, okay?)

I’ve been curious about this one, too. I hope it’s as good as it sounds! I find dreams endlessly fascinating, but am glad that some of mine aren’t real!
Great pick, Anna.
