I have no idea how I first found out about the St. Mary’s Chronicles series, but has become one of my favorite series. As in, I stop whatever I’m reading when the new book comes out just so I can read about Max. I always think I like/love them because they are funny and they are . . . hysterically funny at times, but the can also be heartbreaking. I feel like the characters are members of my family and I hate some of the things that happen. Regardless, they are still funny and those are the quotes I am going to share today.
First off, Max is trying to get back in shape after a long time in convalescence. She is running around the park at St. Mary’s.
I completed one circuit, chugged back some water and, encouraged to find I was still alive, decided to give it another go.
Actually, that sounds a lot like me, although I wouldn’t have survived even one circuit.
One of the male characters is talking to Max and I can’t tell you which one due to spoilers.
He looked down at me. ‘Surely I can’t be the only person in the world who wants to murder you.’
‘God, no. Sorry to puncture your massive ego, but you’re only one of many. Half the human race is ahead of you.’
This last one is not a funny, but I have had this feeling myself.
‘Max?’
‘I’m sorry. I was thinking about Schrödinger’s Cat.’
Staggeringly, he understood.
I am always astounded when people don’t know about Schrödinger’s Cat. It’s not that I understand quantum physics. I don’t! I do know about the theoretical experiment involving the cat. After all, it is referenced in literature over and over again. At least in the literature I read.
And that’s it. Like always, don’t read these books out of order. You will not understand, much less appreciate them if you try to do so.
