Read so hard librarians tryin’ ta FINE me,
They can’t identify me,
Checked in with a pseudonym, so I guess you can say I’m Mark Twaining.
Read so hard, I’m not lazy.
Go on Goodreads, so much rated.
Fountainhead, on my just read, gave it four stars, and then changed it.
Read so hard, I’m literary.
Goosebumps series, TOO SCARY!
Animal Farm, Jane Eyre
Barnes & Nobles, Foursquare it
No TV, I read instead
Got lotsa Bills, but not bread
BURROUGHS , GOLDING, SHAKESPEARE – all dead
Read so hard, got paper cuts
On trains while you're playin’ connect the dots
All these blisters from turning pages
Read so hard, I’m seeing spots
Your Sudoku just can’t compare
Nor Angry Birds cos lookit here
My Little Birds is getting stares
(pause)
This print’s rare.
Read so hard, I memorize, The Illiad... I know lines.
Watch me spit, classic lit, epic poems that don’t rhyme.
War and Peace, piece of cake, read Tolstoy in 3 days.
Straight through, no delays.
Didn’t miss a word. Not one phrase.
Read so hard librarians tryin’ ta fineee me - That shit cray x 3
Read so hard librarians tryin’ ta fineee me – That shit cray x 3
He said Shea can we get married at the Strand
His Friday Reads are bad so he can’t have my hand
You ball so hard, OK you’re bowling
But I read so hard, I’m JK Rowling
That shit cray
Ain’t it, A? What you readin’?
AQ: DeMontaigne.
You use a Kindle? I carry spines.
Supporting bookshops like a bra, Calvin Klein.
Nerdy boy, he’s so slow
Tuesday we started Foucault
He’s still stuck on the intro? He’s a no go.
It’s sad I had to kick him out my house though –
He Mispronounced an author - MARCEL PROUST
Don’t read in the dark
I highlight with markers
While laying in the park
And wearing Warby Parkers
Marriage Plot broke my heart
And it made me read Barthes
I special ordered a
A softcover not hard- HUAH?AHEHA?!
Read so hard libraries tryin’ ta fine me x 2
I am now marking my place
Don’t wanna crease on my page
Don’t let me forget this page
Don’t let me forget this page
I may forget where I left off so I’ll use this little post it…
I hope it doesn’t fall out, I hope that it stays stickie…
I am now marking my place
Don’t wanna crease on my page
Don’t let me forget this page
I got bookmarks at home
But I forgot one for the road
AQ: I got a bookmark I can loan
La Shea: Know how many bookmarks I own?
I am now bookmarking my page x3
DON’T LET ME FORGET THIS PAGE -age-age-age-age-age.
Update: For those of you asking for the mp3, here you are!

About Me
- AQ:
- I'm an LA transplant now living in Manhattan. I used to take too many camera phone photos despite never having purchased an additional memory card. That was the main form of photo evidence for my "haciendo" and "viendo" until Kristen, an LA based friend I share the having of a knife tattoo behind my ear with, gave me her old Fujifilm camera, which has since DIED. Kristen is now removing her knife tattoo from behind her ear, while mine is still in tact, for better or for worse. The camera died on my first day in Lisbon. The last image it captured was a collection of traditional blue & white ceramic wares displayed in a storefront window. Whatever I was trying to photograph afterwards wasn't worth it. I write and produce film projects, have a dangerous predilection for vintage Robinson Golluber scarves and this blog serves as a window to everything else I do when I'm not satisfying those first two passions. I'm trying to blog more and tweet less @annabelleqv. What about you?

LOVE this! Thank you for the entertainment, and the B*tches n Bookshops validation! LOL
ReplyDeleteBravo!
ReplyDeleteLibrarycore! Brilliant.
ReplyDeleteTHIS IS AMAZING
ReplyDeleteI'm a huge fan of the Strand! Sweet vid.
ReplyDeleteCan I please, please, please get an mp3 of this? Would listen to it regularly...
ReplyDeleteBUEN HECHO!!!
ReplyDeleteLIBREOS SIEMPRE1!
SOY EL PAPA DE LA JULIA!!
Um, amazing. I'd like an MP3 too!
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing.
ReplyDeleteI love this song! I saw it on FB last night and it's been going through my head ever since. You both did a great job. An anthem for the smart girl! Bravo!
ReplyDeleteLove this! Saw it through Shelf Awareness today.
ReplyDeleteVid deserving of the word = AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteGreat video! You two are so talented.
ReplyDeleteI'm with jonyangorg. Is there an mp3 of this awesomeness?
This is amazing!
ReplyDeleteLove the vid! BUT FOR REAL THOUGH...What lipstick are you wearing? It is divine.
ReplyDeletesweet parady, i am sending it to everyone i know:)
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this! Just shared it with my book club! xox
ReplyDeletethank you! what're you guys reading right now?
DeleteThank you, guys!!! - i put the MP3 below
ReplyDelete@michelle - lol - NARS cruella! but i think i mixed it w valkyrie that day cos its looking a little dark...
Yo, this is so hot I don't even know what to do about it. I though the Mighty Mos had already schooled 'Ye & J by making a way better cover than their original, but yours is even better than his.
ReplyDeleteIf I wasn't married, I'd be asking you out for being so awesome.
Finally, despite being a prodigious reader, I apparently have been pronouncing Proust wrong - he shoulda spelled that shit "Proost". Hazards of reading a word many times but never hearing anyone else pronounce it, I guess, yet I can't help but note how that word is not pronounced "pro-noonce"...
Really enjoyed the video.
ReplyDeleteThanks, from another book and reading addict.
Gênia!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely brilliant! Thanks for making my day with this. Should be required viewing in all high schools, first day of school.
ReplyDeleteSo now every time I'm on the train watching stations flashing past, all I can think of is that line, "I am now marking my page/ Don't let me forget this page", resounding in time to the swaying of the train carriage.
ReplyDeleteThis video is amazing; I couldn't stop laughing. I can't believe you all pulled this off in one day! Great short and hope to see more in the future.
ReplyDeleteI loved this for SO many reasons - both literary and superfical. Amazingly hilarious.
