Laini Taylor, Strange the Dreamer

[clockworkbee]

authors coming up with fairytales and myths & legends for their fantasy books will never not be something I love. It's amazing what they come up with not only for their book but also for stories in their book that somehow connect to the main character(s) and the plot.

And that’s how you go on. You lay laughter over the dark parts. The more dark parts, the more you have to laugh. With defiance, with abandon, with hysteria, any way you can.

Laini Taylor, Strange the Dreamer

“He read while he walked. He read while he ate. The other librarians suspected he somehow read while he slept, or perhaps didn't sleep at all.” ― Laini Taylor, Strange the Dreamer

As readers of both series will know, this is not a scene from ether of the two books, but its a possibility after the events of both books play out.

A ✨️ moment ✨️ for one of my favs

hi friends! it's been a while. i was supposed to go back to studying on the 1st, but the laziness and anxiety really took hold of me for a while longer. i'm taking a property law exam in the beginning of september, and it's the last one i need to pass in order to graduate. i really don't want to stay in that uni for one semester longer. not to mention i already made it into the master's i want to do. so i have to do well, but i suck at this class. it's a bit overwhelming, to say the least.

that being said, i still have one month of time to study and i studied a bunch today! i'm also making sure to take days off so i don't burn myself out before the master's starts. if i keep this up and stay on track with the studying schedule i set up, i think i'll be okay. wish me luck!

also, as far as reading goes, i'm almost done with Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor. i've tabbed it a bunch, as you can see. i love it so much so far. it's incredibly whimsical but also heart-wrenching and beautiful all at the same time. Laini Taylor really did something special, here. i can't wait to finish it, tomorrow (although i'm simultaneously sad that it's going to be over).

i hope everyone is doing okay <3

The feeling of wanting to scream so loud that the whole world could hear you so you can recommend an underrated piece of media.

These two are giving strong Lazlo Strange and Sarai vibes

My type of characters is when they've had enough; been afraid enough, quiet enough, suffered enough, and decided to become feral. Decided to give it back in double the force with zero shits given while the number of people wanting to kill them keeps increasing.

Me: why isn't Strange the Dreamer bigger on Tumblr?

*reads about the infants and children slaughtered in biblical proportion*

Me: got it

Also me: this book is amazing
