@catwing Poor Gary!

@rochellaine Phoebus is also the epitome of abusive man 🙁 Victor Hugo was just really into murder (he’d be even more frightening to meet than me!) Anyway, that’s my rant for the day on why I didn’t like the book. I also just don’t really like the gothic horror genre. I didn’t like The Phantom of the Opera much either when I read that.

@catwing Redeeming characters is the best, isn’t it? I love doing it! (What happened to Gary!!!???)

@valtmy

See above answer to @Rochellaine 😀 Part of the other reason that I found it really difficult was that Claude Frollo, who is the archdeacon of Notre Dame and the main character of the book, lusts after Esemerelda, who is only fifteen/sixteen years old. He even comes extremely close to raping her. When she consistently refuses his…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Well, in the book, everyone, everyone dies, with the exception of the small goat and the useless poet. Quasimodo drops a beam on Jehan Frollo’s head, pushes Claude Frollo off the roof, pours molten lead on everyone else. Esmerelda gets hanged and finally Quasimodo starves himself to death. That’s only the ending, the rest of it is w…[Read more]

@catwing It great 😀

@rochellaine

The Disney movie and the Broadway musical (the adultified version of the Disney musical). I’m not brave enough to see any of the other ones. I’ll be honest that the book horrified me.

@valtmy Hello!

@catwing

Awesome! You’re making great progress so far!

@rochellaine

No, actually. I’m reading an article with dubious morality and lack of Biblical basis and making mental responses to it.

Well, I’ve read the Hunchback and seen the movie and listened to the Broadway musical (which is hugely interesting, because it has a deaf actor in it. So I find it fascinating), but I don’t particularly like it.…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I’ve arrived!

@valtmy

Hello! I’m not around just yet, but I will be later 🙂

@rochellaine

Poor little thing 🙁

Yep, Mary Queen of Scots.

Goodnight!

@Rochellaine

😛 you’d think so.

I remember once having to research the discrepancy between the verses where it talks about him hanging himself and him falling in a field and bursting open, so i had to read all that then. Not the most pleasant of subjects.

The Scottish one could have been Mary Stuart. She was married to the French dauphin when…[Read more]

@rochellaine

There’s seriously no poison ivy or poison oak, as far as I know. But there’s things like the Stinging Tree, which as you’ve probably astutely observed, stings.

Oh cool! Is it interesting?

I’m doing research on the Revolution to give me some ideas for my third book and since she was a centrpiece of the revolution  I was reading up…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Ouch! Poison ivy is the only thing Australians don’t have to fear 😛

You’ve heard about my researching, what are you researching?

@catwing

That  sounds like a sticky situation! Its a good thing they have a competent ambassador 😉

@Rochellaine

Hello! I didn’t reply earlier because I was researching Marie Antoinette.

@Catwing

I do like it, its pretty cool! Is that the official uniform of the Allore ambassador?

@Catwing

You changed your profile pic!

@seekjustice Oops, sorry I must’ve missed that post. Alrighty then! 😉

@jenwriter17

Sorry, no. 😀 I might not have said it on here, but I definitely mentioned in my blog post that I would be sending it out on August 1st, just so I knew that everyone got it at the same time and I wasn’t running around like a chicken with its head cut off wondering who needed it and who didn’t. Sorry for the confusion!
