Welcome to Litsy!

My nonfiction winner this month is Jonathan Gould‘s excellent Beatles biography, Can‘t Buy Me Love. I haven‘t finished it yet, but it earned its spot by being extremely detailed and well written - and also the only NF I started this month. #readingbracket2024

Still working my way through this chunkster. It‘s very detailed and quite well-written. I‘m really enjoying it so far. Also tonight enjoying a peanut butter swirl brownie (Sally‘s Baking Addiction) with coffee in this awesome mug that I got from @Gissy years ago in my first Litsy swap! I still use it all the time.

How‘s everyone‘s #hyggehour this week?

Just drinking cold water tonight because I‘m feeling warm. Still drinking out of my snowflake mug, though, which I refuse to give up until March 20!

Reading this biography of the Beatles tonight and it‘s really well written. The author includes a lot of historical context for what was going on in the culture at large, very interesting so far!

Excellent one-stop account for anyone looking for a Beatles biography which places them in their cultural context and includes some knowledgeable yet readable musical analysis.

I wasn‘t alive when The Beatles were touring. I‘ve always said if I had a time machine I‘d use it to go back in time and watch shows, especially The Beatles, Elvis, and The Rolling Stones. This year I was finally able to see Paul McCartney in #concert which is the next best thing. I‘d like to read some of these books too. #LetsTravelJuly

This book has cemented itself into my top 5 books about the Beatles. Rather than just a biography of the band, Gould focuses on the music and historical-social events happening in England, the US, and elsewhere in the world, along with how those events had a probable influence on the Beatles' music...and vice versa. So interesting, and written very beautifully. I also really love Gould's occasional snarky asides and observations. Fascinating.

Yay 🎉 there‘s a Beatles book with the title 😁

In light of the 50th anniversary of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, thought this book a nice match with #Smellsliketeenspirit #Junetunz
My husband was not quite a teen (12), my older older sister just 13, when the Beatles aired on Ed Sullivan & changed teen spirit forever...I was younger but their music permeated the house!
