A Pillow Book | Suzanne Buffam

A Pillow Book, Suzanne Buffam‘s 2016 book of poetry, is a great companion for anyone struggling with sleep. During the darkest hours of night and through the early hours of morning, at dusk or dawn, the poems in A Pillow Book possesses the hypnotizing ability to lull readers into a restful trance.

The Star-Touched Queen | Roshani Chokshi

Told in horoscopes and embedded in myth, this story captivates and entrances the reader, lulling them with dreamlike images of golden honeycomb archives and gem-laden palace hallways, inviting readers into a world of fantasy, fairytale, lore and beauty. Spoken in riddles, the novel itself reminds us that “everything is a matter of interpretation”, urging readers to practice “a different way of seeing”.
