Needed some short books as I was running out of time to complete my 95 book goal, and this was 58 pages!

Completes:
#pop22 #aboutabandorsinger
#booked22 #mclivingwithaids 😭 I really wish I'd been born about 15 years earlier so that I could have seen them live.
#ReadingAfrica22 #zanzibar (or #tanzania)

@Cinfhen @alisiakae @BarbaraTheBibliophage @Librarybelle @BarbaraBB @Cortg @Laughterhp @RaeLovesToRead @squirrelbrain @Kalalalatja @Megabooks

Cortg Fantastic! Yep, I‘m trying to wrap some reading up before the end of the year. 2y
TrishB Hubby says he‘s the best front man he‘s ever seen live and he‘s pretty much seen everyone over the past 50 years!! 2y
Cinfhen I never saw them live either 😢big regret but I did see the band with Adam Lambert and they were FABULOUS 2y
jenniferw88 @Cinfhen @TrishB well I learnt from this book that the last show they performed with Freddie was in the Dominion Theatre in London, and that's where We Will Rock You had it's London run (which I saw about 5 times before it closed, as we are friends with the drummer & could get cheaper tickets) 2y
Cinfhen Ohhhh, that‘s awesome 2y
BarbaraTheBibliophage So much love for Freddie and Queen! 2y

This was an absolutely wonderfully written book, with fantastic, real characters. Mistakes have been made and no one wants to say they‘re wrong. And Declan is dying.
My last #booked2022 read for #mclivingwithaids

BarbaraBB Great review. He is such a great author but I haven‘t read this one. 2y
TrishB @BarbaraBB well worth a read. It‘s my first by him 🤷‍♀️ and he‘s been the chancellor of my work Uni for the past 5 years! 2y
BarbaraBB Really? That‘s cool. I hope you‘ll give him another go! 2y

MicheleinPhilly Why do you get all the cool people at your job??? 2y
TrishB @BarbaraBB definitely will now! 2y
TrishB @MicheleinPhilly Brian May was the chancellor of my previous work Uni! Colm is finishing this year and we‘re waiting for the announcement on the new one. 2y
LeahBergen I haven‘t read him before but I did see him at an author reading years ago. 2y
MicheleinPhilly The new one will probably be Paul McCartney. 2y
TrishB @LeahBergen cool 👍🏻 2y
TrishB @MicheleinPhilly Paul‘s not allowed elsewhere as he‘s at Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts 😁 which is Liverpools Fame School, lol. 2y
MicheleinPhilly Oh my gosh, I was kidding! I get idiot politicians, you get rock and literary gods. 😒 2y
Cinfhen He‘s such a great writer!! Congrats on completing #Booked2022 🙌🏻 just tagging @BarbaraTheBibliophage to remind her we need the final quarter form 🤓Thanks B, you‘re a rock star 🫶🏼 2y
Cinfhen Liverpool might be the coolest place on earth 🌍 @MicheleinPhilly is right 😁 2y
TrishB @MicheleinPhilly @Cinfhen lol! Of course I agree 😁 2y
Centique Loved this one too. And also my first Colm Toibin 🙌 2y
batsy I find that cover so lovely and melancholy, in some way. Great review. I haven't read him and I'm tempted to start with this one. 2y
TrishB @Centique I saw you didn‘t like the ending. Whereas I thought it made it a bit gentler. 2y
TrishB @batsy that‘s a lovely description of the book ❤️ (edited) 2y
Centique @TrishB I do see why he did it that way. I just loved Declan so much and didn‘t want to say goodbye yet. A position much like the sister really… 2y
Cathythoughts Great review ! Stacked 👍🏻 2y

While this is a story of the relationship between a 14 year old girl and her uncle who is a famous artist, it is also the story of the country‘s reaction to the AIDS epidemic in 1987. And then again, it is a story of love and acceptance, and the sacrifices that are made in the name of love. Characters that will touch your heart. Heartbreaking yet hopeful. #pridemonth #booked2022 #mclivingwithaids
