This book is a Netgalley book I was approved for before it was approved but I never got around to reading it. I found out that recently Taylor Swift is older than me by about 6 or 7 months so she‘s not that much older than me. Her birthday is December 13, 1989 and my birthday is July 9, 1990. She turned 35 in December. I‘ll be 35 in July. I like her so I think that‘s really cool.
pickAppropriately, I read this when commuting on the underground: my Trans-London Express, if you will. I love Kraftwerk…Computer World, what an album. This is a look at the context of the band‘s beginnings as a post-war generation‘s attempt to rebuild reputation and creativity after its destruction by the Nazis and simultaneously crafting a musical/artistic identity (A Wagnerian Gesamtkunstwerk) that was distinctly not American influenced pop/rock.
pickI‘m an OG swiftie from right back when I first heard Tim McGraw back in 2006. Reading this book was an insight into Swifts life I didn‘t have before and I loved every minute of it.
I feel like adding a little more non fiction into the mix might be a good idea. Going to spend the morning seeing if I can get into this.

Simon & Garfunkel's "The Only Living Boy in New York" is in my head today. Fun fact: this was one of the quotes I picked for yearbook senior year. ?

Yeah,what is funny about it? ☮️
pickI‘m pretty sure the author could speak exclusively in TS lyrics if he had to. Nice overview for fans 💕
pickA nice light read to recap the record-breaking music career of Taylor Swift and commemorate the Eras Tour-de-force it all led to, by long-time fan and Rolling Stone writer Rob Sheffield (who sneaks in as many lyrical-references as possible. Nothing mind blowing for a full-on fan, but a fun time and a good primer for beginner Swifties.
pickThis was the only possible book choice for the end of the Eras. A comfort read for any Swiftie.
