* The dream entries from Briar’s journal contain premonitions of books that will be published in the future. Briar’s dream self foresees the books’ summaries and knows which will likely appeal to each of her friends. Briar always wakes up before she can see whether her friends will enjoy the books.

“To read” lists are always hungry. Feed them often. Think of Briar’s dream journal entries as a menu.
