Finally resolved my Internet issues! The last 3 weeks it would go out for 3 days every 4 days. But about Dave. He's my age and I moved to Olympia as he moved out. I know exactly where he was getting his beers and corn dogs. It's weird that Nirvana lasted only 4 years when it completely transformed and shaped the identity of a generation. Having survived my own episodes of compounded grief, I can relate to his sensitivity and awe for life.

mandarchy Snowed in and I need more yarn to finish this. Off to a new project and the next book! 2mo
Singout Impressive! I don‘t really know how to crochet, but I‘m trying to fix a friends granny square quilt. Teaching myself from the Internet! It‘s tricky when the pieces are mostly done, but there are gaps between them. 2mo
Ruthiella Beautiful afghan! I think most bands should probably break up and do something creatively with others after a few years rather than go on and on with often diminishing results. 🤔 2mo

LiteraryinLawrence This is gorgeous!! It‘s going to be such a cozy inviting blanket. 2mo
Suet624 Your afghan is gorgeous. So is Dave and his book. 2mo
kspenmoll Beautiful afghan! I gave this book to my musician brother-in-law in hopes to read it when he is finished. (edited) 2mo
mandarchy @Singout I still consider myself a beginner. This is my 5th attempt and I've only finished one. The first one had one square unravel and I set it aside until I'm ready to deal with it. You are brave! 2mo
mandarchy @Ruthiella that's a good idea. I'm surprised financial corps don't hire the Stones to advertise retirement packages. 2mo

Two #MusicalCover books from musicians I respect on my audiobook TBR. I haven‘t done a good job in getting to them so I made them part of my #Roll100 list in hopes I‘d finally get to them this year. 🎧🎶 🎹🎼🎸🎵🎤

If you read only one memoir this year I suggest this one. Total disclosure I've long been a fan of this man...but even if you aren't...there is just something about how this man writes...opens up...and shows what a wonderland flawed person he is...maybe have kleenex on hand (yes, I went through a few). #bookspin #favoriteread @thearomaofbooks

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!! 3mo

This is one of the first books I have read in a very long time, and I absolutely loved it. As a fan of both Nirvana and Foo Fighters, as well as Dave Grohl in general, I think this is a perfect collection of stories. Dave tells stories of his childhood, finding music, girls, friends, family, music, and love of every kind. It will make you think of your own memories, tear up, and smile.

I listened to most of this as an audiobook, but had to switch to ebook for the last bit because my Libby loan ran out and everyone seemed to check this out over the Thanksgiving break. By that point though, I had Grohl‘s voice in my head and also enjoyed seeing the photos in the ebook. The narrative is pretty anecdotal, but I didn‘t mind because Grohl is such an amiable narrator. And I couldn‘t help but love how much joy and gratitude he expresses

marleed I didn‘t even know I was a Dave Grohl fan until I listened to this audiobook after seeing so much Litsy love! 4mo
shortsarahrose @marleed I know the Foo Fighters most popular stuff but was never a super fan, but this has definitely made me want to listen to more! He just seems like a genuine guy. I listened to Alan Alda‘s memoir earlier this year and felt similarly where I liked him even more after 4mo
marleed Oh now I need to add that memoir to my TBR! 4mo

WOW! The title of this memoir does not lie, Dave Grohl is an AMAZING storyteller. I highly recommend the audiobook. Listening to Dave himself tell the tales of his life and formation as a passionate and talented Rockstar intertwined with his own personal musical interludes captives the reader and brings them center stage to the creation of a legend.

I picked this up because I love memoirs and I‘d heard good things about the book. I may be Gen X but I‘m not much of a Nirvana fan and I had to Google Foo Fighters to recognize their music. That said, these stories are interesting and I‘m glad I read the book but I think this book is best for Grohl‘s fans. I missed a lot of the musical references and wish the photos had been labeled because the only person I recognized was Kurt Cobain.
