Hamilton the Revolution by Jeremy McCarter and Lin-Manuel Miranda

Read a book about a musician or with a story that involves music.
Read a book in verse.
Read a nonfiction book or historical fiction book.

I have read this book so many times that I bet I could read it from memory (JK. No. There are a LOT of words.) so I'm not quite sure why I didn't put this up earlier. Anyways, Hamilton the Revolution is a book about the production of the Broadway musical Hamilton (which is amazing, by the way!!) and has the lyrics to all the songs. I would give this book 5 stars. Hamilton itself is amazing, but the book tells you even more. For example, it has little notes on each page of each song about some of the lines in the play. In my expert opinion, I am telling you now to get obsessed with Hamilton. Or else.
