Thank you for your comments. I plan on starting this book this week. Enjoy Reading, 📚

I have started this book. I am behind in the reading schedule. I plan on catching up. It is not as difficult to read as I thought. Enjoy Reading, 📚

I just started on the book. I was obsessed with the musical when I was in middle school. I’m enjoying learning all the details that Ive either forgotten or never knew about.
