Holding up A Study In Drowning by Ava Reid, the cover has a stylised house up onna cliff side

#Currentlyreading A Study In Drowning :)
Effy is quite nasty in the beginning but I could understand why she acted like that and powered through it.
I love the lore and world building in this one, I want to find out the truth of this mystery so badly 👀👀👀

My fore-edge painting for Juniper & Thorn by Ava Reid 🐍 🫐 Watercolours 🎨
#foreedgepainting #bookart #juniperandthorn #avareid #bookartist #booksky #blueskyart

Hardback book titled “A Study in Drowning” by Ava Reid. The book is lying on a textured gray fabric surface, possibly a couch. The cover illustration features two people, holding hands, standing in water and looking toward a grand archway with glowing light. The book has decorated edges with intricate designs, making it a special or collector’s edition. The sprayed edge design on the book in the photo features a bookshelf motif. You can see rows of books painted along the edges, making it look like the closed pages form tiny shelves filled with spines of books.

Love this painting by Mary Metzger! Head to her website to see the full, uncropped version of Lady Macbeth, especially created for author Ava Reid's publication of the same name.

a close-up of a hardcover book. The book is titled "A THEORY IN DREAMING" by AVA REID. The cover art features a man and a woman in old-fashioned clothing, walking away from the viewer on a watery surface, with a stormy-looking sky and what appear to be submerged books or buildings around them. The title is written in a stylized, gold font at the top. The spine and edges of the pages also have detailed artwork, with small, illuminated buildings resembling bookshelves or library stacks. The book is resting on what looks like a grey, upholstered surface, possibly a sofa or chair.

Fable for the End of the World by Ava Reid ★★★ 2.5 stars Ava Reid and I have a varied history. I wanted to love A Study in Drowning, but really didn’t. There weren’t enough fantastical elements to it. A Theory of Dreaming ended …

2.5 stars. This was just okay. It felt rushed and the romance was unbelievable. The ending was a huge disappointment.

This was #gothic and #sad most of the time. I had heard it was a feminist retelling but I didn’t get the feminism as much.

I liked the #dragon and wished there was more of him 💙📚

#bookskye #bookreview

This was interesting. I wanted a bit more from it though. I feel like it was lacking a bit in the worldbuilding.

Serpex's review of Fable for the End of the World 4/5: I’ve always found myself interested in these kinds of broken barriers. The mindset of man and beast, machine and human, life and death, etc. I think this story gives enough to get me thinking abo...

Doomed lesbians caught me by the throat and shook me ragged. I am suffering but enjoyed every minute of it.

Diving into my @owlcrate exclusive edition of #FableForTheEndOfTheWorld by #AvaReid

Évike babasıyla yeniden bağlantı kurup kendi gizli büyüsünü keşfederken, o ve Gáspár kimin tarafında olduklarına ve onları hiç önemsememiş bir ulus için nelerden vazgeçebileceklerine karar vermek zorundadır.

I'm supposed to be sorting through my old books but one trip to Waterstones and my friend convinced me to buy yet another book... Still, no regrets!

Book 7 in my 25 in ’25 challenge! A Study in Drowning was gothic, lyrical, and full of slow-burning tension — 4/5 stars from me. Have you read this one?"

He empezado a leer otro libro, el de #UnaFábulaParaElFinDelMundo, de #AvaReid, y empieza bien fuerte.

Aunque creo que me va a costar separar la trama de los Juegos del Hambre porque tiene muchas similitudes con la saga. ¿Alguien que se lo haya leído y me confirme esto?

Ya os contaré.

A Theory of Dreaming by Ava Reid DNF – 19% I found A Study in Drowning to be rather disappointing, but I had hopes that getting more of Preston’s side of things in A Theory of Dreaming would make this more interesting.…

DNF - 19%. I really tried but I just couldn't get into it. I was hoping I would like this better than the previous book. Maybe later but right now, I'm bored.

A woman with white hair and a woman with black hair with a glitchy effect over them. Fable for the End of the World by Ava Reid.

Fable for the End of the World by Ava Reid.

Fast-paced and Hunger Games coded, this YA sapphic dystopian gave me the same feeling as when I would spend summer days as a teen reading dystopian books. I ate this up!

Thank you @harpercollins.bsky.social for the advanced copy!

This is absolutely the love letter to the late 2000s/2010s dystopian novels most of us grew up on it’s claiming to be. But it’s so much more than that too.

I adored this sapphic dystopian love story, it is absolutely worth the read.

A Study In Drowning (Daily React) “Ava Reid’s YA debut is part historical fantasy, part rivals-to-lovers romance, and part Gothic mystery …” all expressed through the mind of an insufferable main character.

I'm a Black #neurodivergent, #stoic #synesthete with #aphantasia so trust me when I say there are few #books written that I can relate to or worlds that I fit into or characters that I feel akin to. But #AvaReid has created a world so fascinating that I am determined to enjoy it. #AStudyInDrowning

I feel so drawn to the world #AvaReid has made and so fascinated by the impending sense of ... DROWNING. I felt like I was drowning the whole time I was listening both in a way that is probably intended and a way that feels tedious and AWFUL ... which might be also as intended.

#RecluseReads

The prettiest book I've read in the last year (I still can't believe it's a new year 😅)
