It's Monday (well, Sunday) and the Tony Awards are on!


Hello, friends! How are things going?

I am a happy camper tonight since I'm watching the Tony Awards while writing this post. I am a huge theatre nerd to go along with my book geekiness. Books plus theatre plus this bowl of ice cream I have next to me = a happy Lindsey.

  1. Both March and Personal Days sound good! I knew I recognized Brooks, I really liked her Year of Wonders.

    1. I've really enjoyed the two books of March's that I've read so far. After March, I just have one more novel to go!

  2. We got rid of cable, which means we couldn't watch any award shows, just clips. Hope it was entertaining! Looks like some great and interesting reads on your plate. Enjoy!

    1. Some days, that sounds like the way to go! I think our little guy has more love for the Playstation than the tv...but that's a whole other story.
      Thanks for visiting!

  6. Looks like you had a great week.

    1. It was a wonderful read. I don't know that I would have picked it up on my own though. Give it a try if you are considering it!

  7. Wow, you've got some great books going! The Knife of Never Letting Go is one of my Big Book reads for this summer - I can't wait! (You should check out the Big Book Summmer Challenge - I bet plenty of your books would qualify!) I really want to read The World's Strongest Librarian, too - just read a great review of it this morning.

    I hope you enjoy March - I loved it. That's the book that made me realize that I DO like historical fiction and that history isn't the boring subject I thought it was in school!

    I like theater, too, though I rarely get to see a show. Try to get to Broadway with my mom once a year. I am currently in mourning over the cancellation of Smash!

    Enjoy your books this week -

    1. I remember your Big Book Summer Challenge from last year. I will definitely come check it out!

      I love historical fiction, but I usually end up reading things set in WWII. It's good for me to mix things up a little bit.

      I haven't been to a show in while either. I was going to see Bonnie and Clyde last year, but it closed before we could go! I'm going to miss Smash too. Megan Hilty was part of a funny number during the Tonys bemoaning all of the cancelled shows that featured Broadway actors.

    1. I'm reading Personal Days as a part of my attempts to read PEN/Hemingway nominated and winning books this year. So far, they have all been really good.
      Have a wonderful week!

  9. I still need to read the Chaos Walking trilogy, I just keep postponing it, and I've been doing that for years.

    Happy reading & have a great week!

    Coincidentally, I had just added Personal Days to my TBR list - looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

    1. How funny! I hadn't heard of it until I started going through the PEN/Hemingway finalists and winners. I'm looking forward to reading it.
