Our Reading

oh hey! this study actually mentions someone who is gay!

5th book in this class

and the first to even mention someone who’s not striaght

I really enjoy reading qualitative sociological studies.

Quantitative ones just don’t capture the actual people living the aspects being studied. 

Madame de Pompadour was just mentioned.

And I giggled. Because she may have been Louis XV’s mistress but she had the hits for the Doctor.

Reasons I think the musician is the lost prince.

• Malherbeau showed up out of nowhere at age 19
• The lost prince “died” at 10
• There is no surviving birth certificate for Malherbeau
• There is a lot of detail on pictures of the lost prince (and how he reminds Andi of her little brother) and one of the people Andi is staying with keeps telling her to check out the portrait of Malherbeau at his homestead.
• Malherbeau has a concerto called Fireworks. And the lost prince’s companion amused him by setting off fireworks around the palace. And after he was kidnapped and held in the tower, she went around Paris setting off fireworks for him to see from the tower he was held in.

I’m calling it now.

The musician dude that Andi is writing about for her senior thesis is going to turn out to be the lost prince.

Also, I totally skipped my morning class to read.

I regret nothing.

Revolution by Jennifer Donnelly

There is an occupational hazard that comes with being a librarian, shelving leads me to finding new things to add to my ever growing list of “to read”.

Revolutions seems to be a present meets the past when a girl finds an old diary.

I have a soft spot for historical fiction and magical realism. Where I think this is going combines them quite well.

Her step mother needs to go fall in a hole.

Horrible fucking bitch.

Sidhean may be the fairy god nother type character but I still don’t trust him.

This book isn’t about nice and cute fairy stories. These fairies aren’t nice.

I don’t trust Sidhean

at all
