Cured: The Tale of Two Imaginary Boys

Cured: The Tale of Two Imaginary Boys | Lol Tolhurst

I think of my appreciation for #memoir as focused on non-celebrities, but apparently I do enjoy a musician's story. Lol signed my book; we have a relationship like that. Of course, what I mean is that I bought it that way.

TrishB I enjoyed this one 👍🏻 4y

RebL @TrishB The memoirs from UK rockers that I've read always seem understated. They are awfully polite about rowdy behavior. lol 4y

I‘m not much of a one for books by musicians, as most of them aren‘t that well written, but this is definitely an exception. A great tale about The Cure and Lol‘s own battles with his demons. Well worth a read.
Love The Cure 🖤 🖤

bookishbitch When I was stationed in London I passed him a few times near the Embassy. One day I mentioned to one of the local guards about the Cure "superfan" I kept seeing in full make up. He laughed so hard and then informed me that was the real Michael Smith and lived in the neighborhood. I was so embarrassed! He was always super polite and said hello back when I had greeted him. 6y

LauraJ @bookishbitch 😂 Great story! 6y

bookishbitch @LauraJ It does explain why his look was so on point! 😂 6y

TrishB @bookishbitch cool 👍🏻 6y

Cinfhen Gotta love THE CURE if only for their awesome hair 🙌🏻❣️😍 6y

The Cure are very #closetome I walked down the aisle to one of their songs and my daughter is named after another. The album this one is off is still my favourite, so many angst teenage hours spent listening.
Reading this one for #featuresamusician very soon!

DaveNeufeld That clip going around of Robert Smith shutting down that host at their Rock HoF induction this past weekend is priceless 😂 6y

TrishB @Reviewsbylola @BarbaraBB got it right 👍🏻 6y

TrishB @DaveNeufeld he‘s awesome isn‘t he 😁 6y

Reviewsbylola Charlotte is beautiful. It was actually in the top three for us when we named Florence! 6y

TrishB @Reviewsbylola Florence is lovely - but it‘s my SIL‘s name so didn‘t make the list! 6y

LeahBergen Have you ended up reading Charlotte Sometimes yet? Or has your daughter? 6y

TrishB @LeahBergen no, sadly still sitting on the pile. Charlotte says she‘ll read once she‘s finished her exams! 6y

LeahBergen I hear you! 😆 I can‘t wait for you to read the first line (it‘s so close to the song). 6y

Melissa_J I love this story. What song did you walk down the aisle to? And I love the name Charlotte 😊 6y

emilyhaldi Lovely story and beautiful name ❣️ 6y

TrishB @LeahBergen well that‘s now pushed it up the pile! I‘m not going to cheat either. 6y

TrishB @Melissa_J Friday I‘m in Love (we got married on a Friday!) 😁 6y

I caved and bought a book even though I‘m trying to cut back on that. Couldn‘t pass up a memoir about The Cure though.

Trying to wind down after a long day with some mint hot chocolate.

Jerdencon Ohh... will have to pick this up. Love the Cure! 7y

DGRachel @Jerdencon I needed a music book for one of the challenges and saw this around Christmas last year. The Cure is my favorite band so it seemed meant to be. I just need to actually read it now. 😂😂 7y

batsy LOVE The Cure. The only time they made it to SE Asia was to Singapore about a decade back. None of my friends here could make it so I took the bus and went to the concert by myself. Best decision of my life 💚 8y

TrishB @batsy great decision, they're fab live 💗 8y

TrishB @dariazeoli me too 💚 8y

I doubt this will take me long but it will definitely result in black eyeliner usage going up next week.

*muppet arm flails* I went to B&N to get Mom (ok, and me) books to open on Christmas Eve and found this beauty! I almost made a scene in the store (nothing to see here people, just a 41 year old woman hardcore fangirling over her FAVORITE band-move along). I was SO good and wrapped it and put it under the tree. I even used glitter wrapping paper so I don't carry it around whispering "my precious" for the next 2 days. ?

TrishB I've brought this for hubby for Christmas 😀 we're both mad fans. Our daughter is called Charlotte after a certain song!! 8y

saresmoore Bahahaha! I pictured every part of this story. 8y

We got to meet Lol Tolhurst at his book signing tonight in Indianapolis and hear him speak about his time in the Cure. Here is our awkward photo together. I have read the first chapter and it is well written. I'm sure my husband and I will be fighting to see who will read it first!

Coleen What's on your scarf? 8y

voracious @Coleen It's an Alice in Wonderland scarf from Storiarts.com 8y

Coleen I thought it might be something like that! ❤️ 8y

"Robert studied literature, of course."

This is everything. The Cure is one of my favourite bands... I'm in Waterstones now for a reading with Lol Tolhurst. ❤️?
