EtherealElsewhere's Big Book of Randomness

Peculiar Peculiarness

Spoilers for Hollow City and Library of Souls

———

So I'll start out with the dreams.

I dreamed about Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children twice recently. Both being about the new book.

Both being really weird.

So the first dream I had was that I just started reading the new book. I read for ten minutes but somehow read 200 out of 230 pages. In those 200 pages, all that happened was Jacob babysat his niece who looked very coincidentally like the niece that was visiting my family at the time.

And that was pretty much it.

In the next dream, it was at the end of the third book of the new trilogy, and only Jacob, Emma, and Fiona were still alive (yikes). Fiona had just been revealed to be alive, and Fiona was chastising Jacob for using "the laws of nature" to decide if she was dead or alive.

And that's all I remember about that dream.

Now for the reactions.

My friend is currently reading Library of Souls. (Finally someone I know read/is reading the books!!!!)

We have the same math class, and last week she was almost finished with Hollow City. I knew she was about to get to the part where it is revealed that it was Caul all along, and I was so excited to see her reaction.

So we normally have time to read a little at the beginning of math class, and I'm not reading that day because I want to see how she reacts.

So I'm watching her read from across the room, and I know she is less than three pages away from the plot twist because I looked at the book earlier.

She turns the page.

No reaction.

She reads.

Turns the page again.

I see her mouth form an "O".

She looks up from her book and looks at me from across the room.

I laugh hysterically as silently as I can and someone asks if I'm okay.

It was funny.

The other day she just randomly came up to me and said, "I hope Fiona's okay."

She didn't even say it sadly.

Wow.

And that's it!
