My name is Stephanie and I have been running my personal brand, A Dream Within A Dream, since January 2012. It began mostly as a book blog focusing on reviews, author interviews, guest posts, blog tours, etc. I expanded to include two more of my greatest passions - travel and mental health awareness. The newest blog is about both travel and mental health (both awareness, education, and my own personal battles). I still post daily on the book blog as well. My social media channels and blog followers continue to rise daily and I'm hoping to reach more people about my passions and how I could possibly help them.

Check out my post and make sure to enter the giveaway! Link in bio. About The Book: Title: RAISING THE HORSEMAN Author: Serena Valentino Pub. Date: September 6, 2022 Publisher: Disney-Hyperion Formats: Hardcover, eBook Pages: 304 Find it: Goodreads, Amazon, Kindle, B&N, iBooks, Kobo, TBD, Bookshop.org From the New York Times best-selling author of Disney’s Villains series comes a ghostly new stand-alone novel that reimagines The Legend of Sleepy Hollow through the eyes of a modern teen. The two-hundredth anniversary of the Headless Horseman's legendary haunting of Sleepy Hollow is approaching, but Kat van Tassel wants nothing to do with the town's superstitious celebrations. As a descendant of the original Katrina van Tassel, Kat knows she’s expected to fulfill her ancestor’s legacy by someday marrying her longtime boyfriend and running the prestigious family estate. But Kat dreams of a life outside Sleepy Hollow. Then Kat meets Isadora, a new girl in town who challenges Kat to reexamine those expectations, opens her eyes to the possibility that ghosts are real, and makes her question who she truly wants to be...and be with. When Kat is given the original Katrina’s diary, a new legend begins to take shape, one that weaves together the past and the present in eerie ways. Can Kat uncover a two-hundred-year-old secret, and trace its shocking reverberations in her own life, in time to protect what she truly loves? Fans of Serena Valentino will delight in this supernatural coming-of-age tale that finally gives the women of Sleepy Hollow a chance to tell their side of the story. #raisingthehorseman #SerenaValentino #disneybooks #letstalkya #rockstarbooktours #giveaway #booktour #disney #lgbtq #sleepyhollow #headlesshorseman #fantasy #yabookstagram #yalit #youngadult #igreads #bookstagram #booklover #bookish #read #bookstagrammer #booknerd #bookaddict #bibliophile #booksofinstagram
I am thrilled to be hosting a spot on the THE UNDEAD TRUTH OF US by @britney.s.lewis, @disneybooks, @letstalkya, Blog Tour hosted by @jaimerockstarbooktours! Check out my post and make sure to enter the giveaway! Link in bio. About The Book: Title: THE UNDEAD TRUTH OF US Author: Britney S. Lewis Pub. Date: August 9, 2022 Publisher: Disney-Hyperion Formats: Hardcover, eBook Pages: 368 Find it: Goodreads, Amazon, Kindle, B&N, iBooks, Kobo, TBD, Bookshop.org Death was everywhere. They all stared at me, bumping into one another and slowly coming forward. Sixteen-year-old Zharie Young is absolutely certain her mother morphed into a zombie before her untimely death, but she can't seem to figure out why. Why her mother died, why her aunt doesn't want her around, why all her dreams seem suddenly, hopelessly out of reach. And why, ever since that day, she's been seeing zombies everywhere. Then Bo moves into her apartment building—tall, skateboard in hand, freckles like stars, and an undeniable charm. Z wants nothing to do with him, but when he transforms into a half zombie right before her eyes, something feels different. He contradicts everything she thought she knew about monsters, and she can't help but wonder if getting to know him might unlock the answers to her mother's death. As Zharie sifts through what's real and what's magic, she discovers a new truth about the world: Love can literally change you—for good or for dead. In this surrealist journey of grief, fear, and hope, Britney S. Lewis's debut novel explores love, zombies, and everything in between in an intoxicating amalgam of the real and the fantastic. #theundeadtruthofus #britneyslewis #disneybooks #letstalkya #rockstarbooktours #giveaway #DiverseReads #OwnVoices #zombies #paranormal #yafantasy #yahorror #yabook #yabookstagram #yalit #youngadult #bookstagram #bibliophile #bookish #bookworm #igbooks #igreads
I am thrilled to be hosting a spot on the BLOODY FOOL FOR LOVE by #williamritter #hyperionbooks, @disneybooks, @letstalkya Blog Tour hosted by @jaimerockstarbooktours! Check out my post and make sure to enter the giveaway! Link in bio. About The Book: Title: BLOODY FOOL FOR LOVE: A Spike Novel Author: William Ritter Pub. Date: August 2, 2022 Publisher: Disney Publishing Group Formats: Hardcover, eBook Pages: 256 Find it: Goodreads, Amazon, Kindle, B&N, iBooks, Kobo, TBD, Bookshop.org Bloody Fool for Love from New York Times best-selling author William Ritter marks the beginning of an all-new series that explores prequel stories about fan-favorite Buffy characters. A verified villain. A slayer killer. A god among vampires. And most of all? A hopeless romantic... Spike just wants to enjoy the spoils of his new badass reputation. He’s now a legendary slayer killer, and he’s returning to London—the greatest city in the world. Unfortunately, his new abode is far from ideal (a dank basement), and the rest of his strange little “family” is reeling from the fact that their patriarch, Angellus, abandoned them. Spike’s love, Drusilla, seems especially heartbroken and spends her time lost in her tarot cards and planning their next gruesome family dinner when they all can be reunited. Desperate to break Dru out of her melancholy, Spike vows to steal a powerful relic that will help her focus on their dark future together. It’s the perfect plan—that is until a monster named Gunnar, leader of the demon underworld of London, steals the relic first. Forced to form his own ragtag group of underworld denizens, Spike plans an epic heist against a ruthless gang of undead criminals. As he navigates paranormal plots, royal black ops, and breaks for teatime (they may be abominations, but they’re British abominations, thank you very much), Spike soon realizes that his homecoming is about to get bloody. This rompy, action-packed novel inspired by one of Buffy’s most infamous bad boys is part Bonnie and Clyde, part Sherlock and Watson, with just a bit more bloodsucking. #bloodyfoolforlove #williamritter #hyperionbooks #disneybooks #letstalkya #rock
Meet Emory Fae, learn more about the series & don’t forget to enter the #giveaway! From Book 1: “Hope was a dangerous thing. It could consume every dream and make them take flight, becoming wild daydreams in one’s heart and mind. Or hope could incinerate everything you thought you knew, burning you down to your core, leaving you raw and exposed for the world.” Emory Fae has only known one thing—life at The Academy, a school for those with special abilities. Following in her parents’ footsteps, the pressure to uphold their dream falls on her and one of her best friends—Adair Stratton. An outcast and feared by most, Adair longs to break away from the expectations dictating his future. With whispers of dark magic spreading across Kiero, Adair starts to doubt The Academy is all it seems. An unexpected visit ignites new tensions as the roguish king from across the Black Sea, Tadeas Maher of the Shattered Isles, and his heir, Marquis Maher, sail to Kiero. Caught in the middle of politics, Adair and Emory, with the help of their best friends Brokk and Memphis, search for the one thing that matters the most—the truth. Their world is tipped upside down as unlikely alliances are made, and war ravages Kiero. Through the throes of betrayal, lies, hidden magic, and love, Adair is faced with a life changing decision. Will he fight or bow to the darkness within? But, Adair’s decision will change the course of Kiero forever, setting in motion irreversible destinies for everyone at The Academy as Emory Fae rises as heir. #BlackDawn #blackdawnseries #mallorymccartney #fantasybooks #epicfantasybooks #youngadult #newadultbooks #rockstarbooktours #giveaway #romance #bookstagram Make sure to stop by @Bookhounds for tomorrow’s reveal!

It just felt that way since he’d fallen in love with her the day they met in Microeconomics, on his first day of classes at the University of Arizona. Maybe two years ago it wasn’t real,” she said in a way that made Billy think she really didn’t believe that. It was Billy’s favorite Mexican food in Tucson, not too expensive, great food. Emma’s body was half in, half out of the pond, a good hundred feet beyond him, obscured in part by an outcrop of large rocks on the water’s edge.
YA author Jenna Guillaume is back with a fun and modern feminist twist on the 1985 pop cult film Weird Science. A boy whose lips taste like cookie dough and whose skin smells like springtime. From the author of What I Like About Me comes a hilarious feminist twist on a classic narrative, loaded with laughs, mishaps, and plenty of 80s and 90s pop-culture callbacks. Jenna frequently appears as a moderator and panellist at festivals, and has extensive on-camera experience through her work at BuzzFeed and as a pop culture expert for ABC News.
But a new client is taking Jess back to Cape Sanctuary, a town she once called home…and that her little sister, Rachel, still does. Against her judgment, Jess finds herself becoming attached—to her sister and her family, even to her client’s interfering son, Nate— As she cased the property, she instantly found the spot a hundred yards from the house that would give her a perfect view of the water, almost as if it had been created exactly for her twenty-four-foot 1993 Airstream, affectionately nicknamed Vera by Jess’s business partner. She only had to make sure she didn’t lose sight of her twin objectives here in Cape Sanctuary—spending time with her sister’s family and helping her client—
This Spring, Heather Graham returns with a sultry and shocking standalone thriller about an FBI special agent trying to run from his past and a state police agent bent on solving a horrifying crime, even if it leads the two of them into the web of a vicious cult. The crime draws the attention of the FBI in the form of Special Agent Hunter Forrest, a man with insider knowledge of how violent cults operate, and a man who might never be able to escape his own past. He could imagine the scene: Jessie wouldn’t have appeared bright and early to help prepare the day’s meal with the other women. He hadn’t come from money, and he had lost his folks right after his twentieth birthday, but he was working in a coffee shop, dreaming he’d get to where he could work, go to college and have time left over to be with the woman he loved.
