I stumbled upon a book by Lisa McMann that I'd like to mention. It's called "Wake" and the tag line is, "Your dreams are not your own." It's about a 17 year-old-girl who gets sucked into people's dreams. What sucked me into this book is the premise. It is one of the most original ideas I have read lately in YA. I don't know who the author is, I haven't checked to see if she has a LJ, I have never read anything from her prior. It's fresh, and interesting (plus I have a soft spot for anything to do with sleep and dreams). Now, the plot does jump around in time a bit (which is initially distracting structurally for some people) and eventually it ends up being a genre I don't normally read (but I am not going to say what to keep from spoiling it). And it is definitely a dark book. But I will recommend it anyway. Don't let those three hurdles stop you. It's intense. It's got a great pace. And I loved the writing style. Check it out.
