Yesterday was a big project y‘all. 🥵 Fortunately it was in the 70‘s and not the 90‘s like it was today!
It was all worth it though — the “after” is my new morning reading spot! ☕️📚😌 (And evening, honestly, once the sun goes down and if the bugs aren‘t bad. 🍺📚😂)

pickTold as an oral history of "The Greatest Band of the 70s" this is a wonderfully clever pastiche of all those glossy rock mag retellings of the story of the Mac, CSN&Y etc. And you'll end it wishing you could reach for the Spotify playlist and hear Aurora, This Could Get Ugly and the rest for yourself. If you love 70s rock you'll dig this (man).
Ain't that the truth!
Someone who expresses their appreciation to their nanny and in-laws in their acknowledgments is okay in my book.
pickI can‘t recommend how wonderful this book is enough. Joyful, heartbreaking and insightful.
Which is what we all want from art, isn‘t it? When someone pins down something that feels like it lives inside us? Takes a piece of your heart out and shows it to you? It‘s like they are introducing you to a part of yourself.

pick????? I got this as an audiobook and I'm very glad I did bc it was a full cast. This book, oh this book. It was a true love story and a perfect example of "three sides to every story: mine, yours, and the truth." I simply LOVED THIS BOOK. #recommended
Back porch reading is a way of life y'all #raisethemright #littlereaders
I'm not sure if this is true but it really stood out to me.
pickThis book is a treasure, I wanted to savor it. It painted a perfect picture in my mind, like all of Taylor Jenkins Reid's books do. It's like a movie playing in my mind.
HIGHLY recommend listening to the audiobook for Daisy Jones & The Six. It's absolutely incredible. I finished it yesterday morning, and I cannot get this book out of my mind! I just want to read it all over again, but I have so many other books I want to get to.

"I'm not perfect. I'll never be perfect. I don't expect anything to be perfect. But things don't have to be perfect to be strong. So if you're waiting around, hoping that something's going to crack, I just have to tell you that it's not gonna be me." - Camila Dunne
pickThis book is going down as one of my favorites of the year. It just spoke directly to my music-loving soul and was perfect with drawing out emotions, entertaining the reader, and some great parts that were just laugh-out-loud funny.
pickHappy Long weekend of reading Canadian Littens 🇨🇦I loved Daisy Jones! It sucked me right in and had me riding a roller coaster fuelled by sex, drugs and rock n roll. I‘m sad these aren‘t real people and that the book is over
Digging this so far. 80 degrees and kid-free Saturday morning porch reading may be swaying my opinion 👏🏻 #kidfreemorning #timetoread

pickSuch fun. It was an fictional oral history format but read like a gossip rag. oversimplified at first (drugs, sex, rock n roll) but the characters really grew on me by the end. It‘s a quick read.
Bout to pay two whole dollars to rent this because I'm too impatient for my hold, too cheap to buy it, the pollen is finally gone and I can read on my porch, it feels like summer, and I have one week left of school. #daisyjonesandthesix #taylorjenkinsreid #summer #summerreading
I finished this about 60 seconds ago, and I'm still choked up from that last line. This one had #allthefeels - and what a ride it was. The author brought the characters and the band so vividly to life that I kept wishing I could hear the songs they were talking about, or pull up a YouTube video of a concert appearance. This one deserves all the stars. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
pickThis was a perfect audiobook—multiple voices, heartbreaking story, twists, well-written. I loved how the multiple viewpoints led to people remembering different things (what color dress someone was wearing) and people experiencing different reactions to the same incident. Judy Greer was in particular a spectacular narrator. ❤️❤️🎸🎤
pickI couldn‘t put this book down! I ate it up and I still can‘t believe that Daisy and Billy and the band aren‘t actual people. Reid does a fantastic job of story telling through the characters. It tackles some subjects that have many shades of gray.

This line gets me...
Ok, I'm glad I have this as an audiobook bc it's amazing this way. I think reading it off the page this might not have worked as well for me. But this is pretty awesome. #BlameitonLitsy #greatbooks #music
Started listening to this one yesterday and I‘m already hooked. The dog got a much longer walk than normal because I didn‘t want to stop 😂 #audiobook
Spent an evening chatting with the wonderful crew of the Snark Squad podcast all about Daisy Jones & The Six and how much I wish I was like Daisy in high school.
Who am I kidding? I kinda wish I was her now.

“I used to care when men called me difficult. I really did. Then I stopped. This way is better.”
Currently listening. I am not much into audiobooks, but this one is really good!
pickI really wasn‘t that sure about this book at first. I was compelled to finish it and was glad I persisted. It went from being a ‘So-so‘ to a ‘Pick‘ by the end. I also found myself listening to a lot of Fleetwood Mac when I wasn‘t reading it 😀
pickGrease. Once. A Star is Born. Daisy Jones & The Six. (Also, I think it‘s really cute they have a page dedicated to the book font.)
pickDaisy Jones & the Six tells the story about a 70s rock band in the form of interviews with band members. It is fantastic as an audiobook with separate actors for each character. I really wanted to go listen to the music and found it super disappointing to have to keep reminding myself this band did not exist (the style the story is told makes it feel real.)
It's all about the band - the relationships, the addictions, the creative energy.
It has been weeks but I want be more active here. I started this almost immediately after buying it at Target tonight. I love the story so far. Daisy is an icon and I love her already.
This book was a solid 4 stars until the end. The last 40 or so pages pushed it to 5 star status ❤
pickJist finished this one- I‘d love to see someone do a good version of it on Netflix and it seems like they will...could be a little cheesy.
Driving my oldest to his summer job on Beausoleil Island ( Georgian Bay) and eating and reading en route. The new Bistro Teen burger at A & W is really quite good. Happy Mother‘s Day to all Littens, hope you are having a lovely day. It‘s my first without my mom and bittersweet to be driving my son since he‘s only been home for 2 weeks from uni
Where you find the character Mick Riva in two universes of Taylor Jenkins Reid. I wonder if they are the same people and she made a little bit of a crossover. #thesevenhusbandsofevelynhugo
I really am enjoying this book! Working on the movie casting in my head. I keep thinking Hailee Steinfeld for Daisy. Jake Gyllenhaal or, I can‘t stand him, James Franco looking dude for Billy. Simone would have to be Zoe Kravitz obv and ugh Reese needs to make this into a miniseries ASAP (HBO plz, not Netflix).

Daisy Jones, a girl with all the privileges, beauty and talent in music, wants to be heard and recognised for her music. It's also a story about women who know what they want and not afraid to go for it and support each other in the process.
Another book by #TaylorJenkinsReid, (who has become my favorite writer) about strong women and #SelfLove

#bookreview ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Well, this lived up to the hype! I was not a massive fan of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, so went into this with lower expectations. But Daisy Jones is a different animal. It was raw and emotional, it was gritty and fun, and it was a hell of a ride.
feeling like I‘m in book slump and trying to choose my next read...🤔
Just started last night. Feels like it will be a good summer read! Well I guess it‘s a spring read....
pickOne of my best reads this year! I loved the interview format and felt that it really gave you the different perspectives of events from each member of the band. I loved Daisy‘s “I‘m not here for you” attitude, but also her vulnerability.
