February Wrap-Up and What I'm Into

I didn't do a January wrap-up, mainly because I was running around wiping down doorknobs with disinfectant and pumping kids full of antibiotics. Between myself, my husband, and the kids, we went through a few rounds of a stomach bug, several colds, and walking pneumonia. There were a few weeks there where I felt like we were barely holding it together. But I think we are coming out the other side and the couple of warm days that we have had and the ability to actually drive home from work in the daylight are doing wonders for us!

I have to confess that while 2 and 8 can be challenging ages, I'm having a blast watching these two. Every once in a while, I find myself laughing hysterically or needing a mop to wipe my heart off the floor after a particularly adorable moment. I especially love watching them together and I'm so glad that they are friends.

What I Read/Reviewed:
I only reviewed 5 books in February because I was posting weekly posts about Alexander Hamilton and I participated in a readalong of a great book about female scientists called Headstrong, as well as Book Blogger Appreciation Week. So I guess, technically, I reviewed 7 books - 5 were nonfiction and 2 were fiction.

                  

I think my favorite book of this month was The Queen of the Night, but I also have to send some love to Ron Chernow's Hamilton. I spent eight weeks with that book and I feel like I learned so much, not only about the man himself but also about the era in which he lived and the beginning of our American government and politics.

What I'm watching:
The husband and I loved the end of Agent Carter and I really hope that it gets a third season. When I'm working or blogging and I want some background noise, I find myself rewatching Gilmore Girls. I guess I'm getting ready for the new episodes!


  

What I've been listening to:
Hamilton. Obviously. Always. But I've also been branching out and listening to some new-to-me musicals including Little Women and The Drowsy Chaperone. 

And then there are podcasts. I love Book Riot's The Podcast and Get Booked. What podcasts do you listen to?
