Clementine is reading Daughter of Smoke & Bone for the first time!!! EEK! It& #39;s a "school day," ha ha ha, and she has zoom class starting soon. She just said from the next room: "I just need to finish this chapter because she just went through the Other Door."
Ha, yeah. That& #39;ll be a good place to stop https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="πŸ˜‚" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="πŸ˜‚" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="πŸ˜‚" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="πŸ˜‚" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="πŸ˜‚" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy">
Also overheard: "Wait. Akiva is a BAD GUY???!!!"
And now: "Brimstone& #39;s such a jerk. I know there& #39;s some reason for it but still." (He& #39;s just tossed Karou out in the snow, which *was* pretty jerky.) And now class is starting, but that& #39;s a pretty good place to pause :)
(Clementine is taking a PS4 break. I am deeply insulted.)
(just kidding. Seriously not! She has said a suitable amount of "Mama it& #39;s so good"s. I& #39;m fine.)
Update: She& #39;s gotten to the scene, after Zuzana& #39;s puppet show, where Karou and Akiva meet again. (Violently.) Is it weird that she& #39;s more engrossed in the book when zoom school& #39;s about to start than when it& #39;s safely over for the day?
Clementine, looking up from book: Wait a minute. Was Madrigal A CHIMAERA?

And later: So Karou has an urge to kiss the tattoos on Akiva& #39;s hands LIKE SOMEONE ELSE WE& #39;VE HEARD ABOUT HMMM????
Also, envious: *I* want a language for my birthday!

(Me too, child. Meeee tooooooo.)

(And just like that she& #39;s back to DuoLingo after two years& #39; absence. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="πŸ˜‚" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy">)
So last night, late, C got to the wishbone snap and I think she thought she& #39;d turn the page and suddenly understand everything but ha ha ha of course not. She did get to the chapter called "Teeth" and figure out THAT mystery finally before she had to go to sleep.
When I peeked into her room at 7 am she was reading and is now at the mask ball (https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❀️" title="Red heart" aria-label="Emoji: Red heart">) or more likely the bit that comes after,as she& #39;s quite silent...(This morning at breakfast she looked at me, a little scandalized, and said, "MAMA. Sugar???" when they dusted Madrigal with it https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="πŸ˜‚" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy">)
