#HamAlong - Post Eight (THE LAST ONE!)

#HamAlong – Post Eight (THE LAST ONE!)

On the one hand – I can’t believe we did it! And by that I mean I can’t believe I did it, because man this is a long-ass book. But on the other hand – it was a really good book, and I was reading it with the most awesome people, so thank Alice and everyone else so much. Now let’s wrap this up, shall we?

This section starts off with Hamilton being pretty damn depressed – convinced that  “this…

#HamAlong – Post Six

We’re almost done! And I’m both happy and sad about that. Just two little sections left.

Admittedly, this section seemed less exciting than previous ones. Lots of John Adams being pissed off about various things.

Hamilton is b-r-o-k-e after being Secretary of Treasury, so he goes back to lawyering.

The treaty that John Jay orchestrated has everyone’s undies in a twist and Hamilton jumps into the…

February Monthly TBR

  I didn’t read as much as I wanted to in January. I mean, I kind of did because I read about half of damn Alexander Hamilton plus three other books, but still. And I’m SO behind in my comic reading, it’s a shame.

But then I said to myself: “So create an even BIGGER pile for February!” Logical, I am not. But who knows.

From the top…

Dragonfly in Amber by Diana Gabaldon– Already 25% through this,…

GOD SO MUCH INFORMATION.

Balthazar de Haert is almost a great as name as Hercules Mulligan.

I had some major feels for Burr in this section. I mean, he’s definitely a worm. BUT, him and wife Theodosia (whose husband conveniently died in Jamaica) have dinner parties with Hamilton and Eliza and man I wish I was a fly on those walls back then.

And POOR BURR. A bunch of family dies before he’s even 2…

#HamAlong – Post Two

You guyyyys this book is bananas. As was Hamilton’s life. And Chernow totally has an abnormal fondness for Hamilton, and it’s kind of cute. He talks about how touching it is to think of Hamilton lugging books and journals around during war, and it’s just cute. This section mainly focuses on the war and him marrying Eliza. I feel like there was a lot to mention, so I’m going to jump to some…

#Hamalong – Post One

I’m pretty sure Alice is the actual best for hosting this.

I’m going to start off my apologizing if I don’t get around to reading and commenting within the next few days – family is in town as you’re reading this because I’m becoming Mrs. Honeyman tomorrow and so yeah… stuff. Hopefully I’ll be able to do some blog hopping on my phone from our hotel over the weekend or something.

Alright, so…

January Monthly TBR

Happy 2016!!

I’m looking forward to this year. I’m looking forward to being a married lady (in one week!). I’m looking forward to whatever changes may come this year. I’m looking forward to continuing to read more diversely, and reading more of my own damn books. I’m excited to re-read the Outlanderseries again. I’m excited to be relaxed in my reading and blogging, and kind of just go with the…
