Weekly Wrap Up: January 25-29
I ended up having Monday off this week also due to the snow and ice we got last weekend! The kids had a half day Thursday and then today was Homecoming! So all in all, it was a pretty easy week!
Thanks to Teresa's Monday Must Listen, I am now officially addicted to Hamilton the musical. As in I drove 35 minutes to buy the soundtrack from Best Buy kind of obsessed. It has been the only thing I've listened to in days. And while I was trying to get kids to buy pizza today I told them we needed their Alexander Hamiltons. Please send help. Not really. I love it.
The end of the month is upon us tomorrow! As of when I was writing this post (yesterday), I had two books to finish to complete all my challenges for the month. I hope I can do it!
Monday: The Monday Musts: The Song of Achilles, Chris Stapleton, and SNOW!
Tuesday: Tasty Tuesday: Skillet Chicken Cordon Bleu
Wednesday: W...W...W...Wednesday: The Distance from A to Z, Boiling Point, The Unexpected Everything
REVIEW: Boiling Point by Tessa Bailey (3 stars)
Thursday: REVIEW: The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller (5 stars)
Friday: REVIEW: The Distance from A to Z by Natalie Blitt (3.5 stars)

Okay, you just convinced me to listen to the Hamilton soundtrack! I've been hearing great things about it.
ReplyDeleteAnd guess what I am listening to right now? Haha. I am so glad you love Hamilton so much. It really is fantastic and I just cannot seem to stop listening
ReplyDeleteThe Wind and Fire sounds fantastic. I hope you love it!
I got Tell the Wind and Fire too, Lekeisha, and I didn't even read the blurb, I just saw that it was written by Sarah Rees-Brennan and knew I wanted it :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had an easy week, we need those every now and then.
Have a wonderful week ahead and happy reading.

Just as I hit 'publish' on my comment I notices I called you Lekeisha instead of Jessica... I don't know why, and wanted to say sorry about that.
ReplyDeleteI almost went and got The Wind and Fire but didn't! You will have to tell me what you think, for sure!

ReplyDeleteI'm curious about Tell the Wind and Fire! I hope you love it!
