Win a Book Wednesday: “The Dreamers”

Win a Copy of "The Dreamers" by Karen Thompson Walker

Cropped photo of "The Dreamers"

About "The Dreamers"

"In The Dreamers, Karen Thompson Walker’s follow-up to "The Age of Miracles," an infection is spreading through the college town of Santa Lora, California. First one girl falls asleep and can’t wake up, then the sleeping sickness spreads as more and more people fall into uninterrupted slumber. Eventually, the town is quarantined. This book follows several characters including a college student, a couple of professors and their baby, a psychiatrist, and an eleven-year-old girl through the duration. Pick this up for an intriguing read about disaster at the human level."

Reviewed for you here by librarian Michelle. Publication date is set as January 15, 2019.

    Currently reading Richard Rubin’s “Back Over There.” It is an account of the author’s visit to the battlefields of France on the occasion of the centennial of World War I. Yes, it’s a library book.
