Marlena | Julie Buntin
post image

#EdgeofSeventeen made me immediately think of the tagged book, despite having read it several years ago. Buntin's strong debut tells of Marlena & Cat & their dangerous friendship. Cat, the narrator, is 15 at the time of the events of the novel & she has a fascination with her older friend's reckless lifestyle. Highly recommend.

Granted it was a mocking jay & not a white-winged dove as the symbol, but Katniss was on the #EdgeofSeventeen in the first two books of the series.

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I love Katniss 🖤 10mo
mom2bugnbee I saw Stevie Nicks in concert a few weeks ago. TBH, I was there for Billy Joel, with whom she's touring, but WOW was I impressed with her at her age! She's still got it! 10mo
Eggs Very lovely grouping and love the connection 💛 10mo

A few years ago I was in a conversation with some friends, and one of them started talking about the white-winged doves she‘d seen in her yard. A couple of us chimed in with, “sings a song, sounds like she‘s singing ooh ooh ooh.” Now I think of that conversation every time I hear #edgeofseventeen including when it was one of the songs used in the exercise class I took last year.

Susanita Fun fact: I have a similar story about “Push It!” with a coworker… 10mo
Eggs So much of our daily lexicon is born from song 🎶 🕊️🎼 10mo
Susanita @Eggs Right?!? This pattern will likely show up again this month. 😃 10mo
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Love Stevie 🖤 music has always been an important part of my life 🎼 (edited) 10mo
Eggs @Susanita it‘s a great way to time travel as well. Upon hearing a song you can be transported to a time and place you connect it with, clear as a bell ! I also find that with smells/aromas 10mo

“I had absolutely no interest in being somebody else's muse.
I am not a muse.
I am the somebody.
End of fucking story.”

#EdgeOfSeventeen is about the first major sudden losses that Stevie Nicks had to grieve, and the tagged book is about a slower type of grief later in life, but it was the first connection that came to mind. This photo is from the back jacket cover of the book. #VolumesAndVocals @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singing🎶

A hauntingly beautiful tale about the mysterious women dovekeepers who survived the Romans‘ siege of armies on the Jews in the Judean desert 2000 years ago. 🕊️
