Turn Around Bright Eyes: A Karaoke Journey of Starting Over, Falling in Love, and Finding Your Voice | Rob Sheffield

Rob Sheffield writes about being a young widower & moving to NYC back in 2001.As a true music fan & Rolling Stone writer, he used to mock the idea of Karaoke.After being forced to go by a bunch of friends,he may find Karaoke to be not only fun but also a metaphor about all aspects of life.I like the way his mind works , he writes passionately about things like the favorite songs of his youth, how experiences can open you up to new love & new life.

I so loved “Love Is A Mixtape” I bought this soon after I finished that one. Thanks to @CoffeeNBooks reminding me of her #weekendreading I dug it out of the back layer of my bookcase.Way overdue to read this one.

so-so

Not really what I was expecting -- kind of scattered & all over the place. Did it on audio & wish I hadn't. Read by the author, but his monotone kind of made it fall flat. No other comments or reviews on Litsy. Anyone else read this?

LauraBrook I read another of his books and liked it, so I picked up this one as an ebook a few months ago. Have thought about starting it a few times, but I feel kinda "meh" about it already. 8y

LitHousewife My husband was friends with his first wife. I found that out while reading his first book. I've not heard great things about this, so I've never bothered to pick it up. Sounds like I should continue with just loving his first book. 8y

Coleen Which one did you read @LauraBrook ? I read the Duran Duran one a few years ago & have Love is a Mix Tape on ebook. Not sure if I'll read that one or not. 8y

Coleen Really, @LitHousewife ?? That's cool! (Cool that he knew her, not that she died.) So maybe I WILL have to read that one. 8y

LauraBrook Love is a Mix Tape is the one I read.

Love Is a Mix Tape: Life, Loss, and What I Listened To

LitHousewife @Coleen Here is my review, which includes background into how my husband and I met and how Danny and Renee knew each other. Reading that book was fun! http://literatehousewife.com/2008/05/68-love-is-a-mix-tape/ 8y

Coleen @LitHousewife Such a small world sometimes. Fascinating to read that -- thank you. Sounds like that was probably his best book, so yes, I need to read it. And then I can say I knew the person who was married to the person who got Rob & Renee together. 😜 8y
