pickTerrific first-person memoir about a young man who survives cancer. Really good read - I will add to my classroom library. I really like that it‘s a male perspective - not enough books boys can relate to!

This one is still on my TBR. Rufus' memoir of punk rock & a cancer diagnosis as a teenager sounds intriguing.
pickA memoir from a cancer survivor/punk rock drummer. Rob writes candidly about his battle with cancer and its effect on every aspect of his life. His account is raw and sad, angry and hopeful.
Arrived 4 hours early to the airport and my flight is already delayed 20 minutes. So the bookworm in me panicked - what if I read the two books with me? So I bought another book :) Crisis averted!
pickRob Rufus has music in his veins. He's determined to devote his life to it when a cancer diagnosis derails everything just as his band is being discovered. This was an amazing story of music, the joys of being a teenager, brotherhood, and overcoming the odds. (Also this helped me discover a new-to-me band, which is always awesome.)
Waiting for the hurricane to arrive and not sure what to read... 🤔
pick4/5 ⭐️ Really loved this ode to punk rock music. Rufus' memoir takes us on his journey to discovering punk rock, learning the drums, getting his band rolling...only to discover that he has cancer. Can't play the drums when your chemo wrecked body is throwing up all the time. I found this read surprisingly compelling, inspiring, and a straightforward and honest look at cancer.
I just got this ARC. It's a memoir about punk music and growing up. #booksandmusic #augustphotochallenge @TheSpinecrackersBookClub
