So excited for this addition to our library! 🤗
"KAREN: This one time, we were recording and in comes a dozen chocolate chip cookies delivered by some dude. I said, 'We have enough cookies.' 🍪 "And the kid said, 'Not this kind.' They were laced. I have no idea who sent them. 🍪 EDDIE: 'Just One More' was written and recorded in one day when somebody sent over a batch of grass baked into cookies. The whole song, written mostly by Billy with my help, seems like it's about wanting to sleep with a girl one time before you hit the road. But it was about how we'd eaten all the grass and just wanted one more cookie." - From Daisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid 🍪 A story about the rise of a fictional 1970s rock band sounded less than appealing, but there was so much hype around Daisy Jones & The Six that I had to give it a try. The first few chapters of the book completely grabbed me - the interview style, the tongue in cheek, dry humor, the complicated characters. But then the drug abuse and addictions got real. After about 25% it was such a heavy read and I struggled to finish it. But then a week later I could not stop thinking about Daisy, Billy, and the rest of the band. It wasn't a light read or an easy read, but it was a good read. Daisy especially stuck with me. She was bold and brave, vulnerable, reckless, sometimes frustrating, sometimes tragic. ✍ “I had absolutely no interest in being somebody else's muse," says Daisy. ✍ "I am not a muse. I am the somebody."
Loved this Wegmans reference in @brigidkemmerer Call It What You Want. The story takes place in Maryland, so my part of the country and I just love references like this that remind me that I'm familiar with the home these characters inhabit. I'm only 4 chapters in and completely loving this book. Kemmerer's writing is sharp, the story is already endearing, and I officially want to read everything she's ever written.
I haven't posted about a book on here in awhile but Tana French's The Likeness completely wrecked me this weekend and I still can't stop thinking about Daniel, Abby, Rafe, Justin, and Lexie. It's a mystery about an undercover detective investigating the murder of a young woman who looks *exactly like her.* She must infiltrate a household of tight-knit, secretive, exclusive friends. This book was haunting, suspenseful, lovely, lyrical and has kept me up at night replaying scenes. I give it all of the stars.
I'll be more concerned with editing during November's #NaNoWriMo, less concerned with output. I love this month devoted to exploring and honing a craft. A great way to participate is through #TheMightyPens Swipe for details! @stdennard
A new series I'm looooving + @harneyteas Ahimsa tea (smells like Christmas) + a cute bebe content to play on her own. 👌
