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

"Sleep was not death—it was death’s distant cousin."

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

"It was such a small thing, but as Preston touched the place where he might have—would have—put a wedding band, Effy felt her heart crack. She had been ruined long before he had ever laid eyes on her. How could she have so cruelly beguiled him into loving such a fickle and broken creature?"

GOD TAKE HER PAIN AND GIVE IT TO HER PROFESSOR INSTEAD

i always forget that shes missing one finger

I found my deathless death in dreams.

“When I’m with you, I’m always certain there’s no other place I should be.” PRESTONNNNNNNNN MY MAN

"Perhaps home was not a place at all. Nothing so common as to be seen on a map." stoppp they are each others homeeeee

"Womanhood has left me with no place to hide."

I just love the slow build plot and the frosty atmosphere 💖

we're kinda getting somewhere but at 60%?! the entire first half of this book is just a prolonged narration of vibes and what's on the back cover. I need more spooky fairy cryptids Ava come ON.

Sometimes I wonder if the fairy tales in Argant are actually like Llyr’s but just two sides of the same coin

gonna try to finish this at the beach 🌊

Yikes, Effy is genuinely scaring me

How have I read two books in a row featuring incest....

I love you miscommunication. I love keeping secrets from each other that will eventually lead to tragic events.

The vibes are ✨️ immaculate ✨️

So, while listening to the audiobook, I love both narrators, but I am curious as to why the male narrator doesn’t use a Scottish accent throughout his narration, only when Preston is speaking? I’m of the view that when you have separate narrators for separate POV characters that is essentially their voice, right? The narration still works well, I just wish his chapters were Scottish all the way through.

so close

Effy is finally growing a backbone and I couldn't be happier!!

effy love you so big but get your shit together please I’m sick of this woe is me monologue

What in the world

The way I'm genuinely terrified for Preston right now, I fear my heart might burst

ava why are you doing this to me? this book is so disappointing

I’m really trying to go slow but it’s just so good! 🥲

Alexa play toy soldiers by eminem

Me when Effy and Preston 🤭🤭

Alexa, play bohemian rhapsody by

I wish they would just speak to each other. They are each other’s comfort and they are hiding themselves from the other. It would be so much easier for both of them if they just confided in each other.

I am stressed

I loved the first book, but the lack of communication here is threatening to take me out.
