Read-a-Thon: Hour 1

It’s a little after 5am and I am up and ready to go! I have my books piled next to me, I’m freshly showered and dressed too! I’m not sure how frequently I will post but I am shooting for every two hours. Have fun everyone!

This is the template I plan to use:

Friday Finds: Wicked Good

Friday Finds is hosted by Should Be Reading. This week, there is only one book that caught my eye. I am a big fan of community theatre and LOVED the show Wicked. I listen to the soundtrack nearly every day on my drive in to work. I was so glad to see this book!

A Little Bit Wicked: Life, Love and Faith in Stages by Kristin Chenoweth

Here’s a blurb:

In this lively, laugh-out-loud book, Kristin shares her journey from Oklahoma beauty queen to Broadway leading lady, reflecting on how faith and family have kept her grounded in the dysfunctional rodeo of show biz. The daughter of an engineer and a nurse, Kristin was singing in front of thousands at Baptist conventions by age twelve and winning beauty pageants by age twenty-two. (Well, actually she was second runner-up almost every freaking time. But, hey, she’s not bitter.) On her way to a career as a professional opera singer, she stopped in New York to visit a friend and went on a whim to an audition. Through a combination of talent, hard work, and (she’s quick to add) the grace of God, Kristin took Broadway by storm. But of course, into every storm, the occasional drizzle of disaster must fall.

Filled with wit, wisdom,and backstage insight, A Little Bit Wicked is long on love and short on sleep; it’s essential reading for Kristin’s legions of fans and an uplifting story for anyone seeking motivation to follow his or her dreams — over the rainbow and beyond.

I don’t read too many memoirs but this looks like a fun one!
