This week's WoW selections are...

's Pick:

Title: Nothing Left To Burn
Author: Patty Blount
Series: n/a
Publisher: Sourcebooks Fire
Publication Date: August 4th, 2015

Reece’s father hasn’t spoken to him since the car wreck that killed Reece’s brother. Desperate for forgiveness, Reece joins the Junior Cadet program at his dad’s firehouse. But the program is grueling, and Reece isn’t sure he can make it through. Then he meets Amanda.

Amanda understands wanting to belong. As a foster kid, the firehouse is the only place that feels like home. She agrees to help Reece, but falling for him wasn’t part of the deal. And when a string of arsons suddenly point to Amanda, their relationship could go up in flames.

Last Summer I read Some Boys by Patty Blount and I really enjoyed it.. Looking forward to read a new one by her. :)

's Pick:

Title: Dreamstrider
Author: Lindsay Smith
Series: n/a
Publisher: Roaring Brook Press
Publication Date: October 6, 2015

A high-concept, fantastical espionage novel set in a world where dreams are the ultimate form of political intelligence.

Livia is a dreamstrider. She can inhabit a subject's body while they are sleeping and, for a short time, move around in their skin. She uses her talent to work as a spy for the Barstadt Empire. But her partner, Brandt, has lately become distant, and when Marez comes to join their team from a neighborhing kingdom, he offers Livia the option of a life she had never dared to imagine. Livia knows of no other dreamstriders who have survived the pull of Nightmare. So only she understands the stakes when a plot against the Empire emerges that threatens to consume both the dreaming world and the waking one with misery and rage.

A richly conceived world full of political intrigue and fantastical dream sequences, at its heart Dreamstrider is about a girl who is struggling to live up to the potential before her.

Of course, I was drawn to that cover first, but then I read that amazing synopsis and I am sold. I must have this book! I just love the idea of being able to walk in dreams, though I think I would loathe the idea of someone walking in my dreams and using my body. o_O I own the author's previous series, but I must admit that I haven't made the time to read it yet. I have some time to do that before this book comes out, though. ;0)
