This was YA historical fiction that I read along with my daughter who is obsessed with Hamilton. It was fun to read of the less popular Schuyler sister and her exploits during the Revolution. I finished reading this at our rental house in Saratoga Springs, close to some of the action that takes place in the book. I‘d love to come back in the summer and when life gets closer to normal and tour the Schuyler residence which is nearby.

Cinfhen Pretty view 😍 4y
Ncostell @Cinfhen We‘re enjoying it, it‘s very peaceful watching birds land on the lake and people ice fishing too. 4y
Gissy Nice! You lived part of what you read. Beautiful view!😍 4y

Ncostell @Gissy It‘s funny because I started reading the book before our vacation not realizing that some of it was set in this area. 4y
kspenmoll Looks so relaxing! How are you? 4y
Ncostell @kspenmoll It was really relaxing and so nice to get away finally! I am doing well, had my second Covid vaccine last week so things are looking up. How are you doing? 4y
kspenmoll @Ncostell I love visiting places where books are set. Even if you discover that while there as you did! I got my first vaccine 2/10 so I am scheduled for #2 in March. My husband got it as well. Sense of relief... 4y
Ncostell @kspenmoll That‘s good news! 4y

Some of my daughters Hamilton stuff, she had a Hamilton hoodie on too but wouldn‘t be in the pic. She loves musicals but is especially obsessed with Hamilton and has been twice in the last few months. I‘ve seen it once with her and really enjoyed it 😁

GingerAntics Oh I would LOVE to see Hamilton!!! I love the soundtrack. 6y
Demeter2112 Hamilton was supposed to be good, but I never really got around to seeing it. Maybe one day 😊 Soundtrack is great, though. 6y

Cinfhen You‘re daughter has fabulous taste...must get that from you ❤️ 6y
vivastory I'm hoping to see it this summer. It's definitely one of my favorite musicals. 6y
Cathythoughts I don‘t know this musical 🤭... looks good ♥️👍🏻 6y
readingjedi Awesome! My Hamilton obsession continues unabated into 2019 - hopefully this will be the year I get to see it! 6y
TrishB @readingjedi I hope you do! 6y
TrishB @GingerAntics @Demeter2112 definitely worth seeing! 6y
TrishB @Cinfhen the musical thing is definitely all her!! 6y
TrishB @Cathythoughts it‘s a good one 👍🏻 6y
RidgewayGirl My daughter is likewise obsessed. I got her Lin-Manuel Miranda‘s book of encouraging tweets for Christmas. 6y
MallenNC Fun! I saw Hamilton finally in November and I loved it so much. I had listened to the music and seen so much about it that I was worried it couldn't live up to the hype, but it really surpassed my expectations. 6y
TrishB @RidgewayGirl he‘s a great role model 👍🏻 6y
TrishB @MallenNC I thought it would be hard to live up to the hype - but it was pretty incredible! 6y
merelybookish My kids love Hamilton too! (As do I!) It led them both to fall in love with musicals. 6y
Ravenclawsbookshelf This book was so great! As a fan of Hamilton the musical this was a must read for me. 6y
GingerAntics My fingers are crossed for the day they make a DVD out of it, because it would make a killing. Just saying. We don‘t really have many theatres out this way, I doubt they‘ll be making a tour of it if they haven‘t already. 6y
TrishB @Ravenclawsbookshelf she‘s looking forward to it 👍🏻 6y
TrishB @GingerAntics I think they said that they would do a DVD once everyone has seen it 🤷‍♀️ 6y
TrishB @merelybookish my daughter loves musicals too! 6y
GeekGirlOnAQuest My daughter is also obsessed- she had a Hamilton themed birthday last month! We saw it in September and it was so fantastic! 6y
GingerAntics @GeekGirlOnAQuest oh that birthday party sounds awesome!!! 6y
TrishB @GeekGirlOnAQuest that sounds fab 👍🏻 6y

DNF. It was a white feminist wet dream in all the worst ways. I couldn‘t get past 50% because I was disgusted that it‘s going off fame of a musical that‘s done by POC and then completely gets wrong native culture to fit typical colonist stereotypes. Forced love square of Hamilton and the sisters to an extremely creepy point. If you do historical fiction please do your research on all people in it, not just one or two people.

This turned into white feminism real fast. Such a disappointment 🙃

I love this book spine it is really simplistic I also love the fact they have used yellow for the book it‘s self and Peggy‘s dress in Hamilton the musical is yellow #nakedbook #spine

Based on historical correspondence rather than the musical that was its inspiration, this is a really sweet book about Peggy‘s coming of age and finding her place in her family. #historical #YA

Here's what I'm reading at the moment. Technically Love And War is after Percy Jackson.

RadicalReader @Ravenclawsbookshelf understandable with those two titles. Feeling of loving the book ( Percy Jackson) and almost warlike after its over wanting more of the incredible tale 7y

I have to wait until 2018 for this YA novel about #independentwomen. 😕 #bookswithsisters #schuylersisters #andpeggy #booksacrossoceans #augustgrrrl

WhatDeeReads I'm still amazed by the length of Hamilton's (Broadway) influence on pop culture. 7y
ReadingEnvy I just read one that's related and apparently the author started it before the musical was a big hit 7y
Cinfhen I'm going to see Hamilton this week 😊can't wait 7y
