I mentioned some of the awesome bloggers in my Notes Of A Newbie In The Blogosphere post, but there are, of course, many more amazing people out there. For example, there are authors who I know from Twitter. They are such great company! They are always there if you want to talk about books, or anything else. Here are their Twitter accounts so that you can meet them too: Carmel Hanes, Kevin Ansbro, Nikki Copleston, Julie U. Brown, Eugene Fournier, C.R. Dudley, Simon Farnell, Danielle Koste, Leta Patton, Johanna Saariluoma, C. M. Thompson, Chloé Douglas.

I’d like to thank all my subscribes and people who regularly visit my blog to read my posts. You are my daily inspiration! 

I used to dream about a book club nearby where I could discuss books with other people. It turns out, I don’t need such a club anymore because I have all of you here. The whole world became my book club. Thank you for your wonderful company!

I’m wishing all the best for you in the New Year! Let all our dreams come true in 2019!

What will happen if something as innocent and usual as dreams is placed in the middle of an apocalyptic story? What if dreams can change your life and who you are? The Dreamers by Karen Thomson Walker shows you such story. The book is much deeper than just a catastrophe scenario. It makes you question your own beliefs and reality. The ideas stay with you even after the book is finished.

The Dreamers is so seamless and complete it’s hard to dismantle and analyse it, but I’ll focus on some details. I loved how the characters are never explained or described. Everything you learn about them you learn from their actions. That’s why they are able to genuinely horrify or amuse you. Even though you never feel like you know them completely, you feel real emotions towards them.

The writing style is a unique element of this book. The sentences have their own rhythm that build a particular atmosphere for the book. It feels like slumber. The last time I watched an author use a language so skilfully was in the works of Edgar Allan Poe. Perfectly created visuals constantly change, so although you feel no dynamism of actions, the story itself is progressing. This too makes it feel more like watching a dream rather than reading a book.

I’m sure The Dreamers would make a wonderful movie. It could be similar to Interstellar, but better because it would have a concise and solid plot.

The Dreamers is for those who are looking for more than just a story. I also think everybody should read it just to experience a book that has its own unique melody. The book will be available for purchase in January 2019.

I’m very grateful to the author for such a beautiful book, and to the publishers for providing me with the copy in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. I will be looking forward to other works by Karen Thomson Walker.
