That Way Madness Lies- comes out in the middle of the month, so I hope to make a dent in this book by the end of the month.
Hour 1
As I said at the top of this post, I will read with music and or a podcast this month. I feel like this might enhance the experience, and I might be able to focus on the books more. This hour I will read Fun Home and A Little Princess. I paired these two together because they both have musical adaptions I could listen to. This was actually the inspiration for this challenge. A Little Princess is short, so Alex& Eliza, which will be a buddy read with RR will be used during this hour as well. Fun Home is a Graphic Novel, so That Way Madness Lies will be used during this as well. There are three musicals that feature Shakespeare as part of the plot. & Juliet for R&J, Kiss Me, Kate, for Taming of the Shrew, and Something Rotten for anything else relating to Shakespeare. These are roughly an hour each, so in about two reading sessions they could be done. Hamilton is massive and will take at least three or four sessions.
Hour 2
Hour 2 will be By the Book and Crown of Midnight. I thought Beauty and the Beast would work well for By the Book because it's about a bookish person. I might add other music here. Crown of Midnight will be the time I try a podcast because off the top of my head, I couldn't think of anything that really fit the vibes.
Hour 3
This hour will be two hard-hitting contemporaries. Charlie Vega is Latina so both In the Heights and West Side Story came to mind for the half-hour I'm reading that book. I'm not a sports person, but I might add Frozen here for Bear Town because Hockey is played in the winter.
The books I'm in the middle of will be read throughout the rest of the day. I don't have music plans for them. Perhaps some Disney because Fairest is a retelling of an iconic Disney villain.
