Chapter 34: y‘all. I could not get Eartha Kitt in Ernest Scared Stupid out of my head in this chapter 🤣 #hunchback #anotherconnectiontopaul #nowonderhesawthenun #idontknowhowtofeel #iwillnotlikepaul #iwillnotlikepaul #pemberlittens editing to add…. #eightchaptersleft

IndoorDame So this genuinely didn‘t make me like Paul any better. Not really sure what that said about me… 2y
BarkingMadRead @IndoorDame I totally get that, he really doesn‘t have any redeeming qualities. Even his hardship didn‘t bring out anything of quality lol other than taking care of elders, but he isn‘t actually there with them, he just pays for their home 🤷🏻‍♀️ 2y

suvata M. Paul is still a scoundrel. 2y
BarkingMadRead @suvata I totally agree! 2y
Bookwormjillk Did Beck send her there on purpose so she‘d find out about Paul or was it another coincidence? 2y
BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk I wondered the same! So many coincidences! 2y
Daisey I feel like she was sent there on purpose. 2y
Bklover I think Beck sent her on purpose. And I‘m with you @BarkingMadRead - I don‘t care what he does I will NOT like M Paul! Also, at the beginning of the book I was thinking Lucy was a badass for going to France all on her own but all she‘s done since then is faint all over Villette, cry at the drop of a hat, and very occasionally lose her temper, all the while never saying why she‘s mad. I don‘t know how she can go from Dr John crush to M Paul crush⬇️ 2y
Bklover ⬆️ Maybe they‘re the only men in France that aren‘t priests. Plus for a while there I think she had a bit of a crush on Generva. Maybe she‘s a frustrated lesbian in a time where that was not acceptable at all. I think I‘d like her better as a lesbian. @IndoorDame @Ruthiella @suvata @Bookwormjillk @BarkingMadRead (edited) 2y
Clare-Dragonfly @Bklover YES!!! 😂😂😂 All that about only letting Ginevra touch her and only sharing her food with Ginevra… I‘m so glad I‘m not the only one who saw that. 2y
Clare-Dragonfly I‘m with the rest of you on still not liking M. Paul. He may be generous and noble but he‘s still constantly nasty to Lucy and then demands her friendship! Being moral and upright does not make you kind. I don‘t understand Lucy‘s comment about him not being generous in trifles, either. He‘s always giving her books and stuff, and he took the class out to breakfast! How is that anything but generous in trifles? 2y
Clare-Dragonfly Also… PLEASE LET THE NUN BE THE ACTUAL JEALOUS GHOST OF JUSTINE. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE. 2y
Bklover @Clare-Dragonfly I agree- Justine just has to be the nun ghost! 2y
BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly oh she better be that ghost, too perfect! 2y
KristiAhlers It would be a perfect thing if she is the ghost nun. Fingers are crossed! 2y
SarahBookInterrupted I completely agree, doesn‘t make me like M Paul any better. He still has his personality regardless of the selfless acts. And Beck definitely sent her on purpose. She is a tricky lady…but why? 2y
eeclayton @Clare-Dragonfly Yes to all that, plus he's giving her books by invading her private space. Not cool. 2y

So, I was supposed to start this on the 15th with @BooksTeasAndBookishThings 😔 Unfortunately, I have been fighting a fever since Tuesday and I haven‘t been reading much of anything. I‘m hoping to start tomorrow and get caught up.

#hunchback

TheBookAddict Oh no, I hope you feel better. I didn‘t know this was by Hugo as well. I may have to look for it soon. 6y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings Feel better and no worries ❤️ 6y

@Peddler410 and I would like to do a read along with this classic. We would start on January 15th and read a chapter a day and post every couple of weeks to see what we think of it. If you‘d like to follow along please let us know and post #Hunchback when you want updates or have questions. It is one classic I never really had the urge to read, but having a read along will motivate me 😊

Biverson12 I am interested to see which version you choose! I bought one a while back and had a lot of trouble understanding it... quite a few words left untranslated from French and I was looking them up constantly so I didn‘t get very far. It has been on my list for a while! 6y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings @Biverson12 I only own the Easton Press version and the miniature collector‘s library editions lol so I am not sure what their translations will be like, but I will let you know 😅 6y
Biverson12 @BooksTeasAndBookishThings Yes let me know! Thanks! 6y
