I‘m so excited to see the posts for July‘s #TitlesAndTunes #SexDrugsAndRockNRoll ! I immediately thought of the tagged book to read…gotta love a history about grunge music!
As for the song, I debated over a few to choose and ended up with this one. Halestorm is from not far where I live, so it‘s kind of a local tie.
For so long I‘ve avoided reading NF books about Nirvana (or Kurt) because I knew they‘d make me sad. I did get sad throughout this book, but I learned some things about the band and the individual members that I didn‘t know already. I‘d recommend to any fan.
A pic of my dog Max because he‘s cute! And a pic of me with the Nirvana street mural in Los Angeles from my trip there this past summer.

So I started reading this book. And then I just had to stop. I just like couldn‘t with all the teen speak, you know? It was just so random and, I guess, vapid with all the high school gossip over frozen yogurt.
Maybe I‘m just too old now to read this type of YA 😵💫
My third and last #roll100 for August!
I‘m sorry this is so late @PuddleJumper but I have finally got round to checking my #roll100 books for April! Here they are. I‘m not sure which one I will choose yet but I‘m hoping to fit it in with #thingsincommon this month so I‘ll see what link I can find!
A deeply tragic and impressive biography. While some may take issue with the way Cross interprets certain events, I think this book gives the best and most honest perspective on who Kurt was — a son, musician, husband, and dad.
16 yr old Maggie Lynch is uprooted from her home in Chicago to Ireland after her mom marries in 1993, the height of Nirvana and the grunge movement. Seeing Maggie growth is the book was my fav thing in this books beside the obvious 90s music name drops. This book was very nostalgic even if I‘ve never visited Ireland, the music alone brought me there in the story. This story had heavy situations like suicide and drugs that tied in with the music.
I would have killed to be able to see Smashing Pumpkins perform at the record release party for Siamese Dream!
Luckily I got to see them a couple years ago and they played from this album and their others and it was amazing!
