Bitches in Bookshops - The Pinterest Board

On Mondays I hook up with Pinning! at A Night Owl Blog/Baxtron{Life}. On Wednesday, it's Oh, How Pinteresting! at The Vintage Apple.  

This is the clever song, a parody of Jay-Z and Kanye West's "N****s in Paris," as performed by LaShea Delaney and Annabelle Quezada. 



THIS is the Pinterest board I built around it. These are the lyrics: 

Read so hard librarians tryin'a' 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 and Noble - Foursquare it

No TV, I read instead

Got lots of bills but not bread

Burroughs...

Golding...

Shakespeare...

...all dead. 

Read so hard, got paper cuts

On trains while you're playing Connect the Dots

All these blisters just from turning pages

Read so hard, I'm seeing spots

Your Sudoko just can't compare

Nor Angry Birds, 'cause lookit here,

My Little Birds is getting stares.

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 three days

Straight through, no delays

Didn't miss a word, not one phrase.

Read so hard librarians tryin'a' fine me - that shit cray (x3)

Read so hard librarians tryin'a' fine me - that shit cray (x3)

He said, "Shea, can we get married at the Strand?"

His #FridayReads are bad, so he can't have my hand

You ball so hard? OK, you're bowling

But I read so hard, I'm J.K. Rowling

That shit cray - ain't it, A? What you reading?

(Annabelle:) De Montaigne.

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 copy

A softcover, not hard

Read so hard libraries tryin'a' fine me...

I am now marking my place

Don't want a crease on my page

Don't let me forget this page...

I've got bookmarks at home but I forgot one for the road

(Annabelle:) I've got a bookmark I can loan

(La Shea:) You know how many bookmarks I own?

I am now marking my page (x3)

Don't let me forget this page...
