Literally about their time in high school. Emotional. Some music.

Serendipity: my current audiobook (tagged) mentions listening to Tegan & Sara‘s music, and my previous audiobook was a joint memoir by Tegan & Sara. 🎶

Not being familiar with Sara & Tegan‘s music, I wasn‘t sure I would get much out of this joint memoir. Turns out I liked it quite a lot, especially the fact that the #audiobook was read in alternating chapters by whichever of the twins wrote that part, plus the between-chapter clips of their songs and interviews from the late 1990s. Their huge fights with each other was a troubling aspect, but reminiscent of my nieces‘ behaviour. #Canadian #LGBTQ

Soubhiville I‘m on the waiting list! I used to listen to them. I‘m glad you liked it! 5y

Lindy @Soubhiville The sound clips gave me a good idea of their engaging onstage rapport. The content of the songs reminds me of Ani DiFranco. If I was 10 or 15 years younger than I am, I probably would have been listening to them. 5y

Lindy @Soubhiville Oh, and they grew up just a little south of me; they‘re from Calgary. 5y

Soubhiville @Lindy I‘m pretty sure I heard about them because of Ani- maybe they were on her label or she supported them in a radio interview or something? That‘s how I learned of Bitch and Animal too, who I loved in my late teens. (Mid 90‘s) 5y

Lindy @Soubhiville They talk about their first big gig, which was opening for Hayden, and being star struck. I had to google him. Nevertheless, I enjoyed their memoir. 5y

Lindy @TrishB @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @squirrelbrain @AlaMich @batsy @readordierachel Thanks, my friends! I used haskap jam to colour the icing (I strained out the berries—and then added the berries back into the jam to spread between the layers of cake.) 5y

Cathythoughts Beautiful colours of cake & plate ✨✨🥰🥰🥰 5y

Tanisha_A Yummy! 5y

Blaire Happy curling! My dad was a big curler and I loved going to watch. 🥌 🥌 🥌 his softball team was the sweepers because they all also curled together. (edited) 5y

Lindy @Cathythoughts @Tanisha_A Thanks! I have had requests for the recipe, so I know people enjoyed it. 5y

Lindy @Blaire Yay for curlers! I always have fun on the ice, but it‘s even better when I make some good shots, like I did yesterday. 5y

Last year would have been the 20 year high school reunion for Tegan & Sara, making them two years behind me in age. Their memoir of those years alternates between the sisters as they tell stories of their family life, fighting over friends, discovering their sexuality, finding a musical voice, and drugs, so many drugs, mostly acid (and they are attempting to be drug-positive, not the usual message!) ⤵️

ReadingEnvy The pictures are uncanny in the sense that they could have been my classmates in clothing and hairstyle, even though they lived in Calgary. ⤵️

ReadingEnvy I read another musician memoir earlier this year that was super disappointing but this one is not. It is well organized, personal, and gives an insight into their musical beginnings that I think will be interesting for their fans. And even for people who aren't already fans, the story of twin sisters who both come out in high school and take a lot of drugs is bound to be interesting. 5y

Christine I‘ve been awaiting this one! Glad to hear it gets your endorsement. 5y

new this week compliments of the publishers.

The Tegan and Sara novel looks interesting, it even came with a little locker mirror. (inside the book, not the one on the cover.)

LibrarianRyan @Litsy images are not sticking when using the desk top. This is the second post I have had this problem. Deviant finally stuck after trying 3 time. I have tried this one twice. @kgriffith 5y

Litsy Sorry for the trouble! Everything looks okay on our end (I just made this post without any issues: https://www.litsy.com/web/post/1628052). Not sure what you mean by “Deviant.“ Can you give us some more details on what browser you're using, any error messages, whether you're editing photos before posting, etc.? -Loranne 5y

LibrarianRyan @Litsy Sorry about that. It was my previous post for the Kristoff book Deviant. Everything on my end seems to working now as well. I was/ am using Google Chrome on an HP all in one desktop. 5y
