It's Monday. Who else loved the Tony Awards?

This week has been sponsored by tissues and honey. I'm not sure if allergies are just crazy with the constantly changing weather or we are lovingly sharing a family cold, but it's been a sniffly, coughy few days around here.

We are still, of course, able to get joy out of things like our sandbox (the kids), reading (the kids are loving Geronimo Stilton and Redwall and you can see my picks below), and watching the Tony Awards on Sunday night!

What have I been reading? I'm glad you asked. The Rose and the Dagger is the sequel to last year's hit The Wrath and the Dawn. I was excited to read it as soon as my hold came in from the library! I also read Shotgun Lovesongs, which I picked up from the $5 table at Barnes and Noble a while back. It's a great story and I really enjoyed it.

This week, I'm reading about how we can raise kids who are grateful in a world that tells them to constantly ask for more. After that, I'm going to finally read What Is Not Yours Is Not Yours!

What are you reading this week?

    I didn't see the Tonys, but I would love to somehow someday see Hamilton. From the clips I've seen the cast is amazing.

    I'm interested in Nick Butler's books and am adding this one to my look-for list. Thanks and enjoy the week.

      We scrambled on the internet many months ago, so we will actually be going to Hamilton next month. I am so, so excited!

    I missed the Tonys (I actually don't watch award shows...except for the Tony Awards...), but I did catch some of the highlights online.

      I thought it was a great show. James Corden was a fun host. When I watch shows like that, I am always in awe of the stage managers who keep all of those moving parts going!
