Turns out that if you have Amazon Prime, you can stream the sound track from "Hamilton" for free. I listened to it yesterday and was blown away. First, it doesn't sound anything like you expect a Broadway musical to sound. Then it shows you a group of brilliant, ambitious men at a crisis moment in history. And it blends in Hamilton's private life, which was rich with highs and lows. Enjoy!
Also, Leah Bardugo's Six of Crows is a fantastic YA fantasy. It's Scott Lynch with teens. Additionally, I'm almost done with Adrian McKinty's latest Sean Duffy novel, set in Belfast during the troubles. Great voice, great setting. Enjoy!
