If I understand it correctly, at the left of the homepage interface on your PC, where you will see your books, instead of updating the page number or percentage read you can also give a general update in the given textbox.

I like some of the songs from the Disney film Musicals, but I don't think I know many Musicals other than that.

Close enough for me! if you would like to do this book club i think it's totally fine if you stay. (:

I do Saxon

I have no idea, my mom uses too many sources to keep track of.

Teaching textbooks and my moms friend kind of tutors me in some of it since I was really doing badly in math last year

Horizons when I was younger and then a mix of Saxon/Bob Jones in high school. I used to hate math but now I really enjoy it (as long as it’s Algebra and not geometry or word problems) 😛

If you're interested in abstract (complex number) mathematics you should have a look at the Mandlebrot fractals on YouTube!

umm yeah, girl!!

Oooo YES! do you have a favorite??

mmmm. not in particular, no. I love most musicals!! Do you have any particular favorites?

Depends on if you mean productions or musical movies. Like you, I enjoy most of them....
Some faves would be the phantom of the opera, Hamilton, Anastasia and The great comet of 1812 for productions, but for films I enjoy almost all the disney musicals.

Oh, yes! I love Phantom of the Opera!!
Nice!!

I love musicals!!! Like old ones. (Sound of Music, Oaklahoma, Seven Brides for Seven brother) and would love to discover more!!

For math I have a teacher, (other than my parents) but you know private. (as in he comes to our house.)

Ooo I love the classics! I'm obsessed with musicals and I watch a lot of classics if you need any recs :)

Ohhh neat, Elisabeth! That's great!

So I have watched Hamilton because I thought it would be interesting and I have mixed feelings on it.
On the positive side
-It was a moving musical. Some parts nearly made me cry.
-The songwriting was good. (except for something but more in that below.) It had good rhymes and though I usually hate rap, I think it worked in this.
-King George. His songs were the best. Sooo funny. (I mean normally I might be annoyed at the mocking of a British King but then I don;t like George IV sooo...:-))
-Eliza. I liked her quite a lot.
Negative
-There was a lot of cursing, swearing, and vulgar language which really spoiled my enjoyment.
-Support of the French Revolution. (quite subtle.)
-I think some things could be handled a bit better. And there were a few unnecassry suggestive comments.
-How the backround/Chorus dressed. Just no. It was horrible. Especially in the girls.

Thanks for your feedback, Lizzy! It's appreciated! I've never watched it but I don't think I want to due to the swearing, vulgar language, and the immodest dressing.
:)

Ohhhh, I love classicals! It's one of my favorite genres!

Yes the classics are great too! :D

Hamilton:
Yes I agree with the language part which is sad because it has such a good plot. :(


Ahh... I kinda see what you mean, but the personally the costuming did not bother me because i'm kinda into historical garments and they used elements of it and incorporated it into the costuming for the production. Even for the chorus girls wore semi historically accurate stays.
(stays are corsets but before the victorian era;)
The reason they did not have them wear dresses was for better movement, (dancing) and since they had to play roles in the background ( like the battles) they had them dress more masculine (tunics/vests). They weren't that revealing to me, but that may just because i'm used to seeing people in stays. XD

It wasn''t the stays that wasfine actually. It wasthe extremely tight leggings which I didn't like:-)

Ahhh yea, those were kinda tight. XD

"Gather ye rosebuds while ye may, old time is still a-flying. For while this flower smiles today, tomorrow will be dying."

That's beautiful! I don't read much poetry, where is it from?

It's actually based off from a passage in the Bible:
Wisdom of Solomon Chapter 2 8 Let us crown ourselves with rosebuds, before they be withered: 9 Let none of us go without his part of our voluptuousness: let us leave tokens of our joyfulness in every place: for this is our portion, and our lot is this.

The poem itself is by Robert Herrick :)
