Sin Child | Angela Howard

pick

This is a harrowing debut memoir. The author was essentially deserted by her mother at age ten. Then various family members cared for her but also took advantage and beat the daylights out of her. Still, she competed in pageants and kept going to school. Inspiring despite everything.

Dancing with Myself | Billy Idol

pick

“I was seen as a bonafide rock star but honestly I was a junkie and a barely functioning alcoholic”
This was a really in depth deep dive into the makings of Billy Idol ~ Punk Rock Superstar 🙌🏻 Listening to Billy share his humble beginnings and long road to stardom was actually enjoyable & entertaining.
He shares inspiration behind some of his most famous songs like White Wedding, Rebel Yell & Eyes Without A Face.👇🏼

Cinfhen I loved this much more than I thought I would. Massive respect for Billy, who turns out to be a real mensch😜

Cinfhen Also using this for #ReadingAsia2021 as Billy goes into a very detailed raunchy account of his visit to #Thailand. He takes us to some seedy clubs, a crazy 3 day drug fueled heroin binge and being escorted to the airport by the Thai police after being tossed out of the Oriental Mandarin Hotel. @Librarybelle @BarbaraBB 4y

Moonprismpower Soooo yeah I‘m gonna say it. On Buffy the tv show Spike said Billie Idol stole his look. Anyone a Buffy fan? Anyone? *crickets* Now I want to read this. Sounds really good. 4y

Cinfhen I‘m not a Buffy fan but i think I can recall that character 🦹🏼audiobook is SO GOOD @Moonprismpower @BarbaraBB YOU need to listen 🎧 it was a BONUS @Librarybelle 🖤 4y

ElleSkel @Moonprismpower ❤️Buffy!! And agreed, Spike was at the very least fashioned after Mr. Idol. 4y

ElleSkel Oh and @Cinfhen I can‘t wait to listen to this now! You sold me with the last post but bonus materials too !! 🙌🏽🎧 4y

KarenUK This sounds like a fun one! @Cinfhen 4y

Moonprismpower @KarenUK @Elle_Skeldon omg thank you. My bf and I prefer Spike because he fought for Buffy. Got himself a soul. Yes not for the best reasons and not the healthiest relationship but still. Actually none of Buffy‘s relationships were healthy. Hmmm. (edited) 4y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Moonprismpower Definitely! 4y

TrishB Oh I love Eyes Without a Face! A brilliant song 💜 4y

Cinfhen I definitely peg you for a Billy Idol fan @TrishB 🖤😘 4y

Cinfhen What a lovely duet couple @TrishB 😄😂😂I‘m going to have a look 👀 4y

Cinfhen That was no Hannah Montanna performance @TrishB 😉and it was so surreal to watch a live music event. All I could think of was ALL THOSE germs .... I hope we‘ll be able to one day enjoy MASSIVE events like that ~ packed arenas , no masks 4y

TrishB Yeah, me too. Miss live music so much. 4y
