“I’m under absolutely no obligation to make sense to you.”

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid

August 22, 2019 by Carriejay Leave a Comment

Bingo Square: Listicle (from here). Evelyn Hugo is an ageing film legend who has been notoriously private about her life and career choices. Now she’s finally ready to talk, and she has chosen Monique Grant, an unknown journalist, as the one to tell her story.

Behind the Fictional Music

Daisy Jones and The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid

August 18, 2019 by jeverett15 Leave a Comment

CBR11Bingo – Pajiba The genius of this novel lies in the presentation. We’ve all become familiar with the oral history as a narrative form in recent years, whether in magazine pieces or in longer forms like the SNL history “Live From New York.” To a fiction writer it offers a comparatively easy way to utilize multiple narrators, unreliable narrators, differing perspectives and faulty memories. It also allows Reid to quickly characterize each of the seven members of the titular band and the other major characters. […]

“Can I handle the seasons of my life?” Fleetwood Mac LANDSLIDE

Daisy Jones & the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid

August 16, 2019 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

#cbr11bingo #Pajiba (and should finish my Bingo board) While predictable in many ways, Daisy Jones & the Six has a lot to like. Some parts of Taylor Jenkins Reid novel are strong and fast pace. Other parts move a lot more slowly; making it difficult to want to go on.  And while I never really liked anyone (even the more “likeable” people) they are all well done. These are people you know. You have been these people. Or you are these people. Okay, we are […]

Waiting For the TV Show…

Daisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid

August 7, 2019 by Rachel Leave a Comment

Daisy Jones & the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid Finished on May 2, took 9 days to read 3 stars on Goodreads Genre: Fiction Rating 2/3 Fiction There were so many reasons why I was excited to read Daisy Jones & the Six. Several of my favorite blogs, podcasts, and friends recommended this book. I loved the author’s earlier novel: The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. And most notably, earlier this year Daisy Jones got the ultimate bump when it was featured by Reese Witherspoon’s […]

Sadly, the album is NOT on iTunes.

Daisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid

July 30, 2019 by kella Leave a Comment

CBR11 Bingo – Canonballer Says   This book has been popping up on ‘must read’ lists, and in bookstore displays all year, but in reading the description, I wasn’t sure it would be my jam. But then it was on the new releases shelf at the library, and there had been a couple recent 5star reviews here (Jen K, Manimama, and ardaigle), so I tossed it in my pile on a whim. The book is laid out like a VH1 Behind the Music interview, with […]
