I wanted to make this board to share for #litsyreadingchallenge. Music is one of my other great loves and I love a great memoir from ladies who rock. I haven't read any of these but hell do I want to. So most of these could fill a spot in either the about music, by a woc or memoir by a poc prompts. Hope it can give someone ideas. Also you know of any other music memoirs by woc please let me know! #ownvoicies #readwomen
Lola What a great list! I really want to read the Nina Simone biography,![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)

Princess Noire: The Tumultuous Reign of Nina SimoneWeaponxgirl @Lola thanks so much. I'm doing a separate board for biographies and then other women's music memoirs too. I like to focus on the most marginalised voices first. It's great to finally have somewhere to share my obsessive list making on books 7y
Weaponxgirl @Lola have you watched the what happened miss simone documentary? There's a book by the same name I want to read also 7y

Lola @Weaponxgirl I have not seen it yet, but want to watch and read, too. Thanks for the reminder! 7y
Weaponxgirl @Lola it's a good documentary, was gutted with all the stuff that went on with the biopic. I need to get to the book too but I always end up crying with bios when I get to the end and they die. It's not a spoiler I know they're dead but I'm nearly always so sad by the end 7y
CocoReads Books and music are definitely what make my world go round. Awesome choices! 7y
Weaponxgirl @CocoReads thanks, glad people like it :) 7y
SuperPunkNinja I want all of these! 7y
Weaponxgirl @McShelfington me too, excited to find out my library has at least three in for me to borrow 7y
SuperPunkNinja @Weaponxgirl That is an above average library you got! 7y
Weaponxgirl @McShelfington yea, my city won a international city of literature award. It was the only city in the uk to have this. Not sure if that's still the case but our library service was a part of it so I'm really lucky in what's available to me. My council won't risk losing the award so libraries are pretty safe for me 7y
SuperPunkNinja @Weaponxgirl Nice! 7y
Weaponxgirl @McShelfington it makes me feel very lucky and proud , but then at the same time I get mad that not everyone has the facilities that are available to me. 7y
SuperPunkNinja @Weaponxgirl ❤📚❤📚 7y
