The library is so quiet and peaceful today!
Maya is stocking up on Battle of the Books reads, and I picked up a stack of #WinterGames reading, one of which is the December selection for my book club. I don‘t usually read this genre, so we‘ll see how I like them. I signed up for @Clwojick ‘s #WinterGames, but as a #renegade and didn‘t join a team, to keep it super low pressure. 🤣
One of the most fascinating women of the Middle Ages is Hildegard von Bingen, a composer, philosopher and polymath. She was given to the church at age 8 and rebelled against life as a handmaiden by turning to books and writing. #TakeMeToChurch #LyricalApril
In 1860, a group of female students at the Pennsylvania Academy, upset by their exclusion from life drawing, started their own classes outside the campus, posing for each other sometimes clothed, sometimes half-draped. Although word of the RENEGADE courses embarrassed the Academy, Ladies' Life classes were not added to the curriculum until 1868... Wow, when I saw the word renegade, I immediately thought of you! @Cinfhen #lyricalapril #renegade
I'm going to attempt to cover three prompts in one here, which may or may not actually work. Malala is definitely a #diamond in the rough, and those who know her would probably consider her a #renegade. And while I'm not sure if this book was originally written in another language, I'm going to assume it was in order to tag it as #BestInTranslation. #LyricalApril #AprilAmazingReads
A day late for #lyricalapril. My #renegade is Hermonie and S.P.E.W.!!
Hogwarts Running Club owls delivered my S.P.E.W. for the 10k I ran today. It's almost better than a sock! #somuchgood
For a #renegade I can't think of better than Delilah Bard. #lyricalapril @Cinfhen /awesome fan art by Wayward stylus (see Deviantart), not me.
I'm thinking that desperadoes are #renegades, right? 😉 This novel, narrated by the last surviving brother in old age, covers the youthful adventures and violent history of the Dalton Gang. #LyricalApril
