Lupe Lopez: Rock Star Rules! by E. Charlton-Trujillo and Pat Zietlow Miller

June 13, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Lupe Lopez: Rock Star Rules! Or at least, Lupe Lopez thinks she does. Rules. And is a rock star. But when she has her first day of kindergarten, she has the distinction of being the first kindergarten to get in trouble on the first day of school. After all, her teacher does not appreciate that Lupe drums on everything: the desks, chairs, lunch trays…. And Lupe does not appreciate the rules the teacher has given her. Especially the one about losing her drumsticks if she […]

“We gotta get out while we’re young, ’cause tramps like us, baby, we were born to run” (double Bingo)

Born to Run by Bruce Springsteen

September 24, 2020 by Malin Leave a Comment

#CBR12 Bingo: Music   Official book description: In 2009, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band performed at the Super Bowl’s halftime show. The experience was so exhilarating that Bruce decided to write about it. That’s how this extraordinary autobiography began.   Over the past seven years, Bruce Springsteen has privately devoted himself to writing the story of his life, bringing to these pages the same honesty, humor, and originality found in his songs.   He describes growing up Catholic in Freehold, New Jersey, amid […]

A merely OK book made much better by the voice cast

Daisy Jones & the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid

September 29, 2019 by Malin 1 Comment

From Goodreads: Everyone knows Daisy Jones & The Six, but nobody knows the reason behind their split at the absolute height of their popularity . . . until now. Daisy is a girl coming of age in L.A. in the late sixties, sneaking into clubs on the Sunset Strip, sleeping with rock stars, and dreaming of singing at the Whisky a Go Go. The sex and drugs are thrilling, but it’s the rock and roll she loves most. By the time she’s twenty, her voice […]

Every ninety years, twelve gods are reincarnated as humans. Two years later, they are all dead…

The Wicked + the Divine: The Faust Act by Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie

December 31, 2017 by Malin Leave a Comment

Every ninety years, twelve gods incarnate as humans. They appear as rock stars and are loved and hated in equal measure. In two years, they are all dead. The lesson they need to learn is: just because you’re immortal, doesn’t mean you’re going to live forever. In the first volume of The Wicked + The Divine we are introduced to Laura, a seventeen-year-old from London who is utterly devoted to the various recently incarnated gods, who appear as rock stars of various genres all over the city. After […]

Widow author and bad boy rock star – the book is really good!

True North by Liora Blake

August 10, 2017 by Malin Leave a Comment

Kate Mosely is a widow living alone and rather lonely in the little town of Crowell, Montana. She more or less runs the local newspaper she inherited from her father (with help from his old business partner), but her small claim to fame is writing a novel that’s become a bestseller, much thanks to her persistent and aggressive literary agent, Stephen. Now, hoping to create more buzz for the book, as well as spurring Kate into writing a second novel, he’s booked her on several […]

Kirkus thought this book was better than The Hating Game. Kirkus is very wrong

Wild at Whiskey Creek by Julie Anne Long

December 27, 2016 by Malin 2 Comments

3.5 stars Glory Hallelujah (yup, that’s actually her name) Greenleaf is the only one in her family who’s never broken the law or deviated from the straight and narrow. Unlike most of her other family members, who only seem to leave Hellcat Canyon to go to prison or when they die, Glory was going to become a star, using her songwriting and singing talent to make it big. Of course, then her brother Jonah was arrested for meth dealing and she had to use all […]
