Status Updates From A Theory of Dreaming (A Stu...

So we all just depressed now huh

I panicked grabbed my phone to write this down, I’m literally screaming, mother fuckers try their best to make an enemy from another country but anyways my jaw literally dropped after I stopped to go get lunch because my mind lagged so hard for a moment before everything clicked! Jesus I need to read more but I’m so hungry!!!

preston i love you so bad

“You really are desperately loyal to this notion of truth,”… …”Be careful with that, Héloury. You may find yourself worshipping blindly at the altar on reason, just as the pious worship at the altar of their saints.”

Preston oh my god??😭

Finally breaking through this slump. A Theory of Dreaming by Ava Reid is brimming with dark academia magic and myth woven into every page. It’s the kind of story that reminds me why I fell in love with reading in the first place.

scrumptious

I'm a masochist, who knew I would suffer another round of this. Also, we get it, Effy is a beautiful blonde white girl and Preston is literally worshipping her in his dream lmao

I’m concerned for Antonia…

I’ve missed this world so much

I hope the master is actually a good fellow.

Back w my besties but im scared for them UGH

Lotto, you’re annoying but you’re loyal and I respect that

I have not been locked in. I definitely should have reread the first book

Only Effy is strong enough to pull me out of this slump, I’ve missed her. 💖

The prejudice is already annoying me

preston my shayla😭

i've been telling myself "i'm going to finish that book today!" for the last three or four days and am STILL not finished 😭

مای شیلاااا

در این دانشگاهو گل بگیرن خب
بچه هام گناه دارن

“whatever faults i might have- and i have plenty- just know that i think of you, always. my mind is never empty of you. not in waking; not even in dreaming.” I’M SORRY WHAT???

oh i forgot about the blatant sexism and racism in this book lol

I get Preston being young wanting to help Effy get her medication, but the reality is she’s been abusing them. And of course she goes overboard once she hears her awful mother’s voice. I feel like this whole book is an allegory for suicide. I hope it has a happy ending like the first.

my goddd???? I'm sorry, what the hell is this??
If I weren't so close to the end I'd dnf just based on chapter 27. I feel like she is not handling any of this with care.

let’s fucking GOOOOOOOOOOO EFFYHEADS

These two are together, I wish they would just talk to each other. So much would be resolved if they did. I get why they wouldn’t, they’re young people in their first relationship, but it’s still annoying.

Also, Gary Furlong, the male voice narrator, is fantastic, amazing at accents and tone. He reminds me of a young Simon Vance.

woah a trigger warning would've been nice 😅

I swear If I have to sit through yet another miscommunication trope, I’m outy. Praying that’s not what this turns into cus I loved the first book and I want to love this one.

are we about to go into the world of dreams???

I'm sorry I've been so inactive y'all 😭 being sick for the past 3 weeks gives me ZERO motivation

"So you can speak like a poet after all," Effy whispered [...] "Only for you," he replied. And then again: "Only for you."

UGGHHHHHHHHH MY BELOVEEEDSSSSS
