(#4)

Lucid
From Goodreads
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.













Why I Chose it:

This one is like an illusion.  I feel like she's going to fall any second.  And from this angle she doesn't really look peaceful.  I wonder why she's upside down and what she's dreaming about.  I also love the color and how the word is kind of rippled like water.  And the dots in the background too are a nice touch.  It's simple, but sometimes simple is better.  


Leave a link to your shelf candy and I'll be sure to check it out!

Good news!
I found out yesterday I got a teaching job!  I'll be teaching Kindergarten at a local daycare and working at their summer camp!  I'm beyond excited.  If you read my post about how after a year of searching for a job I was starting to get a little discouraged then you know how much of a big deal this is for me.  So remember everyone...never give up hope!

That's why I've been MIA the past few days.  I've been in interviews and meetings and what not.  I'm going to try and write all my posts on the weekends so that I can schedule them to go live during the week.  And I'll still be on twitter at night while watching my shows, but if I'm not around as much that is why.

  3. This is a GORGEOUS cover!! I love that shade of blue on the large dots, with purple behind them! Also, the fact that the girl is apparently clinging to the ceiling, although she's asleep, is really mind-blowing! I agree about the title -- it sure looks like it's on water or something. What a quirky cover!! I LOVE it!! GREAT choice!! : )

    Lucid is a great Shelf Candy pick. I love the lettering. I agree, she does not look peaceful. The whole thing puts out something mysterious. Thank you for participating.
