Another month, another fantastic readathon! I’m so excited to be participating in the 2020 Asian Readathon. It was a struggle to narrow down my options to the final four you see here, so I will probably keep on reading alongside this challenge all month long. Have you read any of the books on my TBR? What about the books in the Lightning Round?
Happy Asian and Pacific American Heritage Month!

![The Hamilton Book Tag
Whether youre a Hamilton super fan or havent been interested in watching it, there are still some fun recommendations for you in this tag. Personally, I love that a musical has been recorded and shared for people to see over and over again, and I wish we would do that with more musicals! Hope you enjoy this tag and let me know if I should let Gerard stay.
