We are so excited to share our June Adult Hint – You May Say I’m a Dreamer!
Can you love someone you don’t remember?
After the Last War destroyed most of the world, survivors form a new society in four self-sustaining cities in the Mojave Desert. In the utopia of the Four Cities, inspired by the lyrics of “Imagine” and Buddhist philosophy, everything is carefully planned and controlled: the seasons, the weather—and the residents. To prevent mankind from destroying each other again, its citizens undergo a memory wipe every four years in a process called tabula rasa, a blank slate, to remove learned prejudices. With each new cycle, they begin again with new names, jobs, homes, and lives. No memories. No attachments. No wars.
A scientist who shuns love, embraces tabula rasa and the excitement of unknown futures. Walling herself off from emotional attachments, she only sees relationships as pointless and avoids deep connections. After meeting a handsome free-spirited writer who believes his dreams of a past lover are memories, her world is turned upside down. Obsessed with finding the Dreamers, a secret organization thought to have a way to recover memories, he draws her down a dangerous path toward the past. With little time left before the next tabula rasa, they begin a bittersweet romance, navigating love in a world where names, lives, and moments are systematically destroyed.
Thought-provoking and emotionally resonant, this is a novel that will make you consider the haunting reality of love and loss, and the indelible marks they leave behind.
A fast-paced, well-written, smart and sexy novel that has the intelligence and heartbreak of love in a surveillance state as many beloved classics.
A novel outside the norm of our OUABC picks, but one that greatly impacted us, this is a novel that we cannot wait to bring to life through some of our most beautiful and moving gifts of the year.
Here’s a hint for the June Once Upon a Book Club YA Box….
We are so excited to share our June Young Adult Hint – The Storm of Olympus!
Sparta forged her into a deadly weapon. Now the Gods need her to save the world.
Our main character has spent her entire life honing her body and mind into that of a warrior, hoping to be accepted by the unyielding people of ancient Sparta. But an unexpected encounter with the goddess Artemis who holds her brother’s fate in her hands, upends the life she’s worked so hard to build. Nine mysterious items have been stolen from Mount Olympus and if she cannot find them, the gods’ waning powers will fade away, the mortal world will descend into chaos, and her brother’s life will be forfeit.
Guided by Artemis’s twin-the handsome and entirely-too-self-assured god Apollo-her journey will take her from the labyrinth of the Minotaur to the riddle-spinning Sphinx of Thebes, team her up with mythological legends such as Theseus and Hippolyta of the Amazons, and pit her against the gods themselves.
A reinterpretation of a classic Greek myth turns the traditionally male-dominated mythology we know into a heart-pounding and empowering female-led adventure.
A poetic and evocative tale that weaves together a fictitious new adventure and the original myth, perfect for all fans of historical fiction and Greek Mythology.
A brand new June release that is uniquely and entirely its own, this young adult debut is a powerful novel we cannot wait to bring to life!
