#1776

▶️🎧 #1776 Seems like an appropriate read given the 🇺🇸 holiday tomorrow, and a good companion to Alexander Hamilton.

This morning‘s workout:
25 mins of legs (audiobook)
101 floors on the stairclimber (music)

Now, grabbing a few peaceful moments before getting my son‘s from childcare. They‘ve been at each other‘s throats this morning and driving me bats.

Hope everyone has a productive day including a little “me time.” 💚

britt_brooke @julesG Yes, it‘s like a treadmill only stairs. It‘s torturous. 5y
britt_brooke @wanderinglynn Thanks! 🙌🏻 5y
britt_brooke @imabusybee Thank you! 🙌🏻💚 5y
Hoopiefoot Way to go! I have a sick love of the stair climber. 5y
britt_brooke @Hoopiefoot 😆 Me, too. It‘s oddly addicting! 5y
CocoReads No exercise yet. I‘ve been trapped in the iv room all day. Training—and it was going ok. Then on my last one I had a bit of an incident with the venofer (basically liquid iron). The good news is, our eyewash works. The bad news is,it‘s stinky and I got some up my nose too. I‘ll be smelling it all day. 🤢 5y
britt_brooke @CocoReads Oh no!! 🙈 5y
julesG So it's the moving staircase, just not like in Harry Potter. More like an escalator on speed. 5y
julesG @CocoReads oh no!!! I'd recommend lemons against the smell, but lemon juice up the nose isn't ideal either. 5y
imabusybee @CocoReads put a little favored lip balm around the nose. You cant see it but you can smell it. 5y
britt_brooke @julesG Escalator on speed is accurate. 😆 5y

In all likelihood, this is my favorite book of 2017. I read the last sentence in a NYC cab and exclaimed "damn!" It's an adventure, a comedy and an insightful look at what colonial #NewYork might've been like while a British colony with its heavy Dutch influence and ideas of liberty bubbling to the surface long before #1776. The writing is exquisite with long, beautiful sentences that demand one's full attention. And the ending! #GoldenHill

Rcoco I agree! So far for me, my favorite fiction read of the year. 7y

#1776 isn't a musical I know but would certainly be interested in seeing it, I love history and historical fiction. I have not read many books about the American Revolution (and need to address this), usually have read some that take place at this time in history and refer to it but have only read one book which is about the American Revolution. That book is Redcoat by Bernard Cornwell, I loved that book and gave it 5 stars. #MelodiousMusicals

CrowCAH Heard good things about this author, but have yet to read any. I love the American Revolution time period. I often don‘t get past that in my history lessons lol 7y
Andrew65 @CrowCAH He has got two big series : Sharpe (Napoleonic Wars) and The Warlord Chronicles (Anglo-Saxon England). Do enjoy most of his historical books, he has also written The Fort set during the Revolution Period and has a set of 4 books set in the American Civil War (only read first one of these). (edited) 7y
TrishB @CrowCAH and 2 great stand alones called 1356 and Azincourt 😀👍 7y

My current Litfluence number, while not nearly as high as many of my friends here, popped up while I was listening to the Hamilton soundtrack. And reminds that that I really should get back to this tome. #1776 #Hamilton #serendipity (Just ignore that inconveniently placed "0" ?)
