Hotel Silence | Audur Ava �lafsd�ttir

What am I to do with a whole six days? Excluding seven hours of sleep, that leaves me with seventeen hours a day to be filled.
“Seventeen times six equals a hundred and two hours” Mom would immediately have answered.
That means the glowing star will rise above the horizon six more times.

A beautiful little book about a middle-aged handyman who decides his time has come. And the people and tiny acts that delay him.

Rent: The Complete Book and Lyrics of the Broadway Musical | Jonathan Larson

“To being an Us for once, instead of a Them!” RENT is my absolute favorite musical of all time! Hands down, no question. I love its music & message, and I adore its characters! I‘ve seen it on broadway, on tour, watch the movie regularly, have the soundtrack on vinyl, and try to live its words daily. Thanks @Cinfhen and @vivastory for this lovely prompt to start 2019! #seasonsoflove #musicalnewyear Can‘t wait until Jan 27 for RENT Live!

LaraReads The 1st pic above is from last year seeing it on tour! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜💗 6y

Cinfhen What a beautiful collage!!! And how exciting that you got to meet some of the performers ❤️ 6y

vivastory I have only seen it live once, but it's definitely a favorite. I love this post! 👏🙌 6y

A Virtuous Woman | Kaye Gibbons

A brash, honest look at the love between Jack & Ruby as they move through many #seasonsoflove in their long marriage. I loved this sometimes brutal depiction of marriage that proves hard times can build a strong, and ultimately loving, relationship.

Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair | Pablo Neruda

These poems contain much tenderness of love and the power of passion. I plan to read more poems this year, too.

Without You: A Memoir of Love, Loss, and the Musical Rent | Anthony Rapp

I don‘t know how many times I saw RENT while I was living in NYC - but it was a lot. And I wasn‘t aware that Anthony Rapp had a memoir! 🙀 I started listening to this yesterday and now I can‘t stop. I love his descriptions of 1990s NYC because that will forever be “my” NYC ❤️. He also chronicles his mom‘s diagnosis with cancer. You definitely don‘t need to be a fan of RENT to be moved by this beautiful story. #seasonsoflove #musicalnewyear

Cinfhen, vivastory

Bookish_AF Oh my gosh I remember when this came out! He came to my college to do a talk/book signing. It was so cool to meet him, it‘s the only book signing I‘ve ever gotten to attend. 6y

LauraBeth @whippoorwill815 wow! That‘s a pretty great book signing to attend! 6y

vivastory I don't read memoirs very often, but I will definitely be checking this out! 6y

ErikaB He also released an album a few years ago called “Without You (A Musical Memoir)”. I haven‘t had a chance to buy the whole thing yet, but I did buy the first track, which happens to be “Losing My Religion” and I had been dying to hear his version since I found out it was his audition song all those years ago. 6y

Cinfhen I literally got goosebumps reading your description, Laura. I will be looking for this audio and I can‘t wait to hear his rendition of Losing My Religion @ErikaB 6y

ErikaB @Cinfhen There‘s also a live album called “Acoustically Speaking” performed with Adam Pascal from 2016 that‘s worth checking out, if you‘d like to hear his covers of “The Origin of Love” and “Falling Slowly”. I saw one of their concerts in 2012 and it was amazing, even if I was practically incoherent by the time I got to the signing line afterwards! (They were very sweet - I think they‘re used to somewhat emotional fans.) 6y

Cinfhen Ha, I‘m sure they are @ErikaB I think musicians really have a unique gift in their ability to reach us in such a haunting and personal way. I‘m blown away by that type of power they can produce from singing 🎶 6y

LauraBeth @ErikaB thanks - I found it on Apple Music and am now streaming it! 🙌 Have you read this memoir yet? The first chapter is titled Losing My Religion 💕 @Cinfhen this album is great so far! Although...big tears 😭 6y

Bookzombie This has been on my library wish list for a while. I‘m going to bump it up! 🙂 6y

ErikaB @LauraBeth I own the Kindle version (will have buy a hard copy if I‘m ever lucky enough to go to another concert/signing) but haven‘t read it yet. One of my general resolutions for this year is to stop saving things for “later” and actually use/read/enjoy them. Hopefully I‘ll get to it this year - I can think of at least two reading challenge prompts where this would work! 6y
