Reader's Advisor: Dream On!
Your walking down the street in your PJs. Your dog is walking beside you--giving you financial advice. You explain to him you aren't investing your lotto winnings in Milk-Bone® stock, so he bites you on the ankle. Then, of course, you wake up.

Dreams can be magical (to quote a sleep-aid product), scary, funny, or, perhaps more than anything, confusing. Our MLS-librarian extraordinaire, Norma Lilly, has put together a list of titles that can help your patrons sort out the mysteries of their dreams--so that they can finally get some rest.

Genre Chicks: Interview with Joe Hill
He's a charmed debut novelist who still slaves away at his keyboard like every other writer. He's a whippersnapper that's already won two Stokers, a British Fantasy Award, and a World Fantasy Award. He loves his local library, and dreams of haunted houses and owning books that never existed. He's going to be on television, how about that? He spends too much time on the Internet, he listens to all that loud rock music kids like these days, and he stole his daddy's Bible. Genre Chick Alethea Kontis interviews her hero, Joe Hill.
