Class Valedictorian, Star Center on the Basket Team, good grades, good kid pretty much sums up Finn Nash a Senior at Lenape Charter High. Having his whole life planned out for him, nothing could have surprised him more then a bizarre encounter with Brynn Shelby, class recluse. Brynn has her reasons for keeping to herself. Why had she chosen to use her Magic Eight Ball key chain to decide whether or not she was going to hold the bus for Finn Nash, Class "Everything" that morning? If she knew what that decision would do to her world, would she change her mind? There is something about Brynn that Finn envies perhaps maybe that is why he has sought her out and tries to befriend her. But can these two complete opposites survive in each others' worlds or will their worlds clash, and crash with cataclysmic results?

"𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑴𝒀𝑺𝑻𝑬𝑹𝑰𝑶𝑼𝑺 𝑩𝑶𝒀 𝑰𝑵 𝑴𝒀 𝑫𝑹𝑬𝑨𝑴," 𝑩𝒚 (𝓝𝓮𝓬𝔂 𝓒𝓾𝓪𝓵) (Started on March 13, 2025) is a long, mysterious, and romantic story with fantasy elements. The protagonist, gifted with the rare ability of lucid dreaming, keeps encountering the same enigmatic boy in her dreams. Each night, their connection deepens, their encounters filled with an unexplainable familiarity-like a love that has transcended time. But in the waking world, he doesn't exist. Or so she thinks. As she searches for him in reality, she begins to unravel a hidden truth-one that ties her dreams to another world, a past life, or a destiny she never imagined. The boy himself is a mystery, even to himself, and their journey is filled with both magic and obstacles. Set in a modern world with secret magical elements, "𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑴𝒀𝑺𝑻𝑬𝑹𝑰𝑶𝑼𝑺 𝑩𝑶𝒀 𝑰𝑵 𝑴𝒀 𝑫𝑹𝑬𝑨𝑴," is a story of love, fate, and the blurred lines between dreams and reality. Despite the challenges, the journey leads to a fulfilling and heartwarming ending-proving that some connections are meant to be found, no matter how impossible they seem.

Here is a book of prompts, character names and meanings, book titles and more. Also I have added a book review form for those that want me to review their books.
