Today‘s scores from the Little Free Library on the way to my 3 hrs of ballet. It‘s going to be a lovely day. It‘s warm already. On my walk home I‘ll visit another book swap. Then I have nothing to do for the rest of the weekend but I will grab a chai, go to the beach, drink champagne in my pjs and cook up a storm ready for more work lunches and ballet dinners. I suppose I best do a bit of housework too 😢 eg change the sheets.

I had to google rock and roll books 😆 and this one that‘s been on my shelves for a while came up on a few lists so obvious choice! And the song was the first one I thought of - love the whole album 🎶 #titlesandtunes

Cinfhen The Girls is a GREAT choice! Hope you enjoy the book 😄🩷 9mo
squirrelbrain Ooh, good choice for the book! 9mo
BarbaraBB Lykke Li 🖤🖤🖤 (edited) 9mo

youneverarrived @Cinfhen thanks! I‘m glad it‘s given me the push to read it 😁 9mo
youneverarrived @squirrelbrain one of those books I‘ve never felt called to read although I‘ve had it for a while, so glad for this prompt for the push to finally get to it! (edited) 9mo
youneverarrived @BarbaraBB love her ♥️ 9mo
BarbaraBB She‘s great. I am wondering if you‘ll love the book too. I didn‘t 😉 but it definitely fits the prompt! 9mo
batsy I love Lykke Li! Fun choice and great book choice, too. I've been eyeing it since reading Cline's latest, The Guest. 9mo
youneverarrived @BarbaraBB ohh I‘m intrigued now - we have similar taste in books so we shall see 😁 9mo
youneverarrived @batsy I Never Learn is one of my all time favourite albums 🖤 I haven‘t read The Guest but if I like this I‘ll most likely read that one too. 9mo

So I‘ve already read my book choice, but it‘s perfect for this prompt, AND the series was SO good. Plus, it introduced me to Patti Smith‘s “Dancing Barefoot,” my first choice for #SexDrugsAndRockNRoll. And I had to pick a Led Zeppelin song - “Going to California.” 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻💚💚💚 #TitlesAndTunes

Soubhiville There‘s a great version of U2 doing Dancing Barefoot. It‘s a favorite of mine 🙂. 9mo
CBee @Soubhiville I‘m a little sad I‘d never heard it before. I‘ll definitely check out the U2 cover, they‘re a favorite of mine too 😊 9mo

BarbaraBB Dancing barefoot is fantastic! In both versions 🩷 9mo
Cinfhen Daisy Jones is SUCH a GREAT idea!!!!! And I never knew either song and now I need to listen to both!! 9mo
Bookwomble Patti 💖 9mo
Soubhiville Right? I heard that version first, but I do love the original as well. I also loved this book and the adaptation was very well done! 9mo
CBee @Soubhiville thanks for telling me about the U2 version 💚 9mo
CBee @Cinfhen first book I thought of! Have you watched the series? It was really good. (edited) 9mo

squirrelbrain Yay! I *think* I‘ve sorted both, but may well change my mind…! 9mo
Cinfhen Can‘t wait @squirrelbrain !!!! 9mo
DGRachel I‘m struggling with this one! I‘m going to have to see what others post for inspiration! 9mo
Cinfhen Im sure inspiration will strike @DGRachel !!! 9mo
DGRachel @Bookwormjillk I wanted to find something I already own that would fit, but the only thing that comes to mind is a stretch, so I‘m watching for ideas that aren‘t classic rock memoirs. 🤔 9mo
BarbaraBB Yay! I am in the midst of my book already and loving it again! #ScarTissue 9mo
Librarybelle Woohoo!! 9mo
CarolynM I‘ve decided on my song, still thinking about the book🤔 9mo
Cinfhen Can‘t wait to see/hear what you decide @CarolynM ♥️ 9mo
Faranae Apparently I failed to tag correctly to join in June, but I'll do better for July. I think I know my book, now I just need to match a song. One of the protagonists writes for Village Voice in the 1970s, so the field is wide open with some pretty good tracks. 😁 9mo
Cinfhen Sorry we missed you in June @Faranae but super glad to have you join us for July!! Tagging @BarbaraBB so she knows to add your name as well!!! 9mo

4⭐️ Read this during the most #deweysreadathon and I liked it more this time around than my first time reading it. I was able to understand the story better and therefore enjoyed it more. #2023 #fiction #classics #reread #modern #bookstagram #bookreview

I was hoping for this to be soothing and cute and it was mostly just very dull. I found the characters very flat and I found myself not caring about them, their romance, their antique shop or the antiques business more generally. I felt like I was waiting for some spark or humour and I just never got it.

#wondrouswednesday @Eggs

1. 😒😒😒 (because tbh I‘m not enjoying it)

2. Oooooh this is hard because I love stand-alones! I did love your nostalgia is killing me SO much I wanted it to be longer though.

3. I think I gave trainspotting 3⭐️ for being good but not as good as the movie

Eggs Perfection 🥰👍🏼 2y
