Rosewood Readathon Day 8!!

Chapter 21

- Lottie getting the Portman job is supposed to be a scene that’s so exciting for her but it just kills me to think of Jamie wishing he could save Lottie from it

- And of course Lottie taking it as Jamie not thinking she’s good enough. He’s trying to protect you!!!

- Portmans are this big royal secret but making Lottie a Portman is basically giving up that secret forever because they all know she’s going to eventually have to be revealed as a Portman ??? Did that make sense

Chapter 22

- Can Lottie not get access to melatonin or something??

- Princess lessons!! Anyone else remember that rwch animatic of the Barbie song about being a princess? Did I hallucinate that?

- Raphael being Jamie’s first friend outside the castle is so important to me

Chapter 23

- I would do anything to go to the Rosewood library are you kidding me.

- Lottie immediately being jealous of Ellie getting along with Saskia, this girl is in love

- I feel like they make the not sleeping thing into a bigger deal than it is??? Lottie could’ve easily gotten some sleeping pills or something weeks ago and fixed it. Insomnia is common especially in students but to Ellie and Jamie this is the end of the world

Sorry I’m a day late! I’ll get today’s posted as soon as it’s done

OKAY IT’S TIME

i got very behind with the readathon and it’s officially over now but i present to you:

CHAP’S 19-EPILOGUE

are you ready? i’m not

tumblr ate all my notes from 19-32 bc i took a break for dinner which sucks bc it took ages but we’re just gonna go from here

and finally jamie gives into the fact that ellie is his friend

i won’t lie if i was sayuri i’d be pretty pissed that i couldn’t get through to haru, but jamie could

emelias like fuck all this mushy shit can we get back to saving the day

i can only see stella and sam as like micky and lola from up, but less happy

obsidian blade? but obsidian is so fragile, it would probably break under the pressure of a sword like lotties

though i suppose claude wasn’t expecting a sword to get in the way

🩷🩷🩷🩷

it means so much to me that lottie calls ellie a prince to her face

ellie looked like an angel when she went to save lottie in up and now lottie looks like an angel saving ellie

little princess 🩷

it’s so cute that ellie gets all shy now when earlier it was always lottie blushing

you don’t know how happy i am to have made it to the endless fluff at the end of

HOLIDAY BAKED BEAN

buying a school bc your best friend/gf saved your life is just iconic behaviour

oliver

ahh but imagine jamie’s reaction to the script

MICHAELS HUSBAND PERCIVAL

connie you knew what you were doing when you called it butterkins

wait ani and saskia got married so young, like if the end of pea is 2019 and the epilogue is 2046 that means they got married in 2021 so they’d be really really young

hell yeah vampy will never die

not baked bean dying :(((((

HER WIFE ELEANOR PUMPKIN-WOLFSON

the little child names 😭😭😭😭😭😭

oh and we have reached the end

the end of the series, the end of the readathon, the end of the notes

no book series has ever dug its way into my heart quite like this

RWCH Readathon 2024:

Undercover Princess - Prologue

This is genuinely to this day, my favourite introduction to a series, to characters, to anything I've read. It captures the entire essence of the series in just 6 pages.

The opening paragraph alone captures how intensely this whimsy and wonder can impact a person or a space

Reading it at 14 years old, I decided right then that I was going to be one of those people who can make anyone believe in themselves and have the power to change and achieve anythign and everything

The cut to then Eleanor being the complete opposite, "in desperate need of both" is such a beautiful and simple way to bring the reader back to reality and introduce Ellie to us.

Shes passionate and determined and stubborn, but we also see how scared and desperate she is to have control in her own life without the pressure of her duty, something that is echoed everywhere in the series.

The lines surrounding Aston Court, reading with knowledge of what is to come has an air of heartbreak and despair that she would have to give up everything about who she is.

I adore the detail that she is only refered to as Eleanor thriughout this prologue, despite her mum calling Alexander 'Alex', Eleanor isn't given the same comfprt in a nickname, it's like she's always playing a role here.

The build up of how Alexander expects her to act, and how Eleanor would go kicking and screaming juxtaposed with 'Please Dad' not only affects her parents, but the reader too.

We become to familiar with her reputation as a wild child in the first few pages that already we have the same assumptions as we see later that the media has, only we get let into her vulnerability here.

I adore how much of this chapter is subtle foreshadowing, or a little wink nudge nudge to those of us who have already read the series, even this early on. But I won't lay it all out here right now.

The chapter ending in "we can always send in Jamie" always makes me laugh because yeah I guess but why didn't he just go anyway? I get not giving her freedom but surely thats easier to explain?

In summary, this prologue is genuinely one of my favourite parts to the book and I can't wait to read everyone else's thoughts throughout the readathon.

Rosewood Readathon Day 5!

Fixing your math grade is like entering a different reality. I have weeks of my life from like january to april 2022 blocked out because i just spent all my time doing maths. (ended up with a H2 though so hehehe go me). So I feel you Lottie

Bimdas anyone?

I remember being 12 and thinking this math equation was the most confusing thing in the world. Now though I feel like I could solve it if I put my mind to it. Or else I'm just gonna give it to my friend who's doing a maths degree and see will it knock his ego down a few pegs

I don't think I've mentioned this before but I love how Lottie is a huge fan of fairytales. She is like me frfr (except I'm a huge fan of Irish/Celtic mythology)

Break in time!!! What a fun little scene. However, it says they got completely soaked going through the river so how did they not get caught in the morning assuming they left a trail of water after them?

Also what a bunch of nerds going to the library on the orientation day. Never forget we are reading about pretigious, rich nepo baby nerds everyone. (I still love them all with my entire heart)

[can-i-explode-now]

There is a criminally small amount of rosewood chronicles fics on ao3.

especially for someone who hasn't read all the books and doesn't like Jamie/Lottie

i am a little overwhelmed with how much love and joy has been put into the world from the readathon so far and since we’re at the end of book 1 i have a little message in case you didn’t see on instagram

December 31st 2018. That was the day I first started reading Undercover Princess. 2018 was a really terrible year for me and I was genuinely surprised to have made it to the end. I had been recommended the book by someone who said I reminded them of Lottie, and I decided to read it on New Year’s eve. My friend stayed over that night and we stayed up late, but I had to finish the book, I had to know what happened. So at 3am 1st January 2019 I continued reading until about 5am, completely enthralled, until I finished. I definitely related to Lottie, in a very deep way.

My life has changed so much since then, I’m a happier person, and while new year’s eve is still not my favourite time of year, it’s no longer perplexing to me. I want to thank Connie, and everyone who’s been reading along for reminding me how much things have changed, and how being kind, brave and unstoppable has proved itself to be a highly effective mantra.

I love you all, and I want you to take this moment to think about how you’ve changed since you first began to read Undercover Princess (even if that was only a couple of weeks ago) and think about how you’ve been kind, brave and unstoppable. 💜❤️💛
