pick#Celebrate Day 1: Happy New Year to my favorite book people in the internets!!! This #TitleBasedOnSong is what inspired our 2010 reading theme in GatheringBooks: Picturebooks That Sing. Joni Mitchell‘s Chelsea Morning illuminated. Lovelovelove Joni. Here‘s my full feature of the picturebook illustrated bt Brian Froud: https://wp.me/pDlzr-6b
pickLast book of 2025.
There are no recordings of Leonard Cohen's concerts for IDF troops in Israel during the Yom Kippur War. Friedman interviewed witnesses and combed through interviews and Cohen's numerous notebooks to reconstruct his time with Israeli soldiers. The result is a fascinating story that is worth reading not only for music lovers but also for those interested in Israeli history.
pickAnd finished just now, a little into the new year, but technically still New Year‘s.
Why an amazing ride. This is the second time I listen to the pieces in this book. And some I absolutely loved, some I liked, some are okey and some I didn‘t like. Which is just as it should be when you listen to 366 pieces in a year
I‘ll start her second book tomorrow and is ready for a new musical adventure
pickI have loved our morning routine of listening to a piece of music over breakfast. My husband and I are both classically trained musicians and yet still found new things to think about. Sometimes it was a new-to-us piece; more often a new bit of information about a composer. But it was such a grounding way to start the day. (Much better than doom-scrolling the news!) We had a hard time finding her second volume from a source that would ship 👇🏻
The Unworthy was definitely my favorite fiction book but I Am Ozzy won overall 🖤

There were a couple of contenders for best June book. It is one of those times where today‘s best is the tagged but tomorrow‘s might be either Lamentations by C J Sansom or The Wreath the first book in the Kristin Lavransdatter trilogy.

pickFinally a fitting tribute to the multitalented Cass Elliot! 🙌🏻 Her daughter covers it all…from how Cass rose to stardom with her incredible vocal range, her natural stage presence and wicked sense of humor despite the relentless body shaming…to how her Mama spoke her mind and fought injustice to help make the world a better place. Cass truly rocked!✌🏻☮️
Glad her daughter also debunked the ham sandwich rumor, among others.
