A Sea of Ink

I am a huge musical theatre lover, and I have quite a few favorite stage musicals. Les Miserables, which I saw at the Queen's Theatre in London...in the second row! Notable numbers: ALL OF THEM. Hamilton. I memorized the OBCR (original Broadway cast recording) last summer and I super-duper wish Lin-Manuel Miranda was my best friend. Notable numbers: It's Quiet Uptown, Burn, Satisfied, The Schuyler Sisters, You'll Be Back, Non-Stop, The Room Where It Happens... Newsies, and not just because Christian Bale played Jack Kelly in the original Disney movie. I mean, how often does a musical feature a female Nellie Bly-inspired journalist character?! Notable numbers: King of New York, Once and For All, Seize the Day. Anastasia: A New Broadway Musical. My childhood was built on the movie and I love how the story has grown up alongside me. Notable numbers: In My Dreams, Crossing a Bridge, In A Crowd of Thousands, Journey to the Past. Dear Evan Hansen. Amazing music, amazing...

It's National Book Lovers Day!!! and y'all know that I'm one of them. What better way to celebrate than by sharing a couple of titles from my [very long] list of favorite books with all of you?! (Ordered alphabetically by author's last name.) As you can see, I tend to enjoy historical and fantasy. Enjoy!
