Welcome to Litsy!

I liked this book! I liked the factor of the night and the stars and moon. I liked all the talking about dreaming, lucid or not. I really liked the initial research of Keller, about the multiverse happening in your subconciousness. I also enjoyed the writing style and the switching between moments in time.

I think I would want to read it all again eventually, knowing what I know now, to see all the signs and the foreshadowing.

Close to perfect. Even during a pandemic.

A quiet gem of a book with some of the loveliest writing. It‘s a slow unravel, and I kinda figured out the end early on, but I still enjoyed the journey. I didn‘t like it as much as The Immortalists, but I‘m glad to have picked it up.

I LOVED The Immortalists, & I‘m hoping this will be just as good.

2-8-19: My 12th finished book of 2019! #theanatomyofdreams #cholebenjamin 👍🏼📖#️⃣1️⃣2️⃣

First book down for #24in48

4 star read for me involving a boarding school (though not all of it is set at the school), an obsessive relationship, a mentor with a magnetic pull and dream experiments that may not be that ethical. Highly recommend to anyone who likes the weird and wonderful.

My first book for #24in48 #teamausnz
So far I have read for 2h 38mins and it is now 3am.
I‘m going to go to sleep and dive right back in when I wake up.
So far I‘m really enjoying the foreshadowing aspect which is something that is a hit or miss with me. It has a strange boarding school, experiment vibe and I‘m starting to think that the whole thing is a one big experiment but I could be getting ahead of myself

If only!

New day, new week, new book. The Immortalists is my favorite book of 2018 (so far), so I had to make time for Chloe Benjamin's first novel #FirstNovelPrize

The Anatomy of Dreams is a character study of Sylvia as she meets Gabe in high school and ultimately joins him in researching sleep disorders. It explores themes of relationships, consciousness, and betrayal. It starts strong and has places of strength throughout but bogs down too much to call a pick. I think her strength is in shorter pieces as in her current book.

I know Chloe Benjamin is promoting The Immortalists, but I want to read her previous book referenced above. #Dreams

Did you all know The Immortalists by @chloekbenjamin is set to debut at #7 on the NYT bestsellers list? And did you know she previously published another book? I picked up my copy of The Anatomy of Dreams at her reading at @powellsbooks last week and I can't wait to dive in! As a scientist, the premise intrigues me.

I liked the writing, and the setups were intriguing, but the follow-through was kinda dull.
