July #TitlesandTunes 📚🎶
I hear or think about #DrugsSex&Rock&Roll, and it has to include LED ZEPPELIN and my unrequited love, Robert Plant. Gonna do the “Misty Mountain Hop“ as I read Plant's biography. BTW, it has a HUGE section of pictures! #pantpant
📖: Robert Plant, A Life
🎶: “Whole Lotta Love“ by Led Zep

Thanks for hosting! 🤗@BarbaraBB @Cinfhen

I can finally reach the top shelves without having to get my husband's 9 million foot ladder that scares the bejesus out of me and is heavy af

We wanted to do rolling library ladders, but the living room is too small to accommodate both ladders and furniture. And that turned out to be a blessing in disguise since my granddaughter is a climber! 😅

dabbe Wow! What a library! ❣️ 2y
TheBookgeekFrau @dabbe Thank you ☺️ Took my husband 3 solid months to build; but SO worth it! 2y

#Leaves are falling all around
It's time I was on my way
Thanks to you I'm much obliged
For such a pleasant stay
But now it's time for me to go
The autumn moon lights my way
For now I smell the rain
And with it pain
And it's headed my way
Ah, sometimes I grow so tired
But I know I've got one thing I got to do
Ramble on...

Pickpick

I finished the Led Zeppelin book!! My husband is a huge fan so we actually own several books that focus on this band. This one, published in 1991, was kind of like an extended fanzine that definitely focuses on Led Zeppelin as an entity rather than as individuals. If you're looking for history or inside stories, this is not the book for you. But if you want an overview of the band's albums, songs, concert, and collectible memorabilia, this one ⬇️

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) is worth checking out. Cross's writing can come across as a little condescending at times (I noticed this when I read his biography of Kurt Cobain as well), & he hates on Stephen Davis's book, Hammer of the Gods, on multiple occasions. There are loads of interesting photos in this one as well. Written at a time when there were still rumors/hopes that the band might come back together with Jason Bonham on drums, there were moments when ⬇ 4y
TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) it felt a little dated. Ultimately a soft pick. If you're interested in Zeppelin, you'll find some tidbits to enjoy here. But if you don't already have a base of information, it isn't necessarily a great place to start.

Side note 1: Recently we watched “It Might Get Loud,“ a film featuring Jimmy Page, Edge, & Jack White. While not specifically about LZ, there is a lot about Page's technique & evolution. If you like rock music, it's ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) totally worth a watch. They did a great job choosing three incredibly talented yet fundamentally different musicians.

Side note 2: If you get a chance to see Jason Bonham's LZ cover band - totally do it. We saw them in concert in 2019 & they were absolutely brilliant. Highly recommend & I would totally go see them again.

1. Enid Blyton and Terry Pratchett! Also Nora Roberts.
2. I had a pretty perfect night in Feb,at a blues Fest in Bombay, where Keb Mo and the Kenny Wayne shepherd Band played 2 near perfect sets, and the food( and alcohol) were EXCELLENT!
3. The beginning of the tagged book is in the late 60s,that talks about the genesis of a lot of great bands, and I would love to be a sessions musician then!( I can't play anything at all IRL)😄

On this rainy Saturday, this is the plan for the day:

1. Jigsaw puzzling

2. Start a new book

3. Drink large amounts of coffee

**In general...be lazy and enjoy my hobbies.

What are your rainy day activities???

TheSpineView Reading, of course, cooking, maybe a nap in there too. 5y
BayouGirl85 @TheSpineView I forgot about napping. That‘s usually on the rainy day list too. 🤣 5y

Went to see Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Experience last night. Fantastic concert, and the closest I will ever get to hearing LZ live!! It was an outdoor concert, and listening to Stairway to Heaven under the stars was pretty magical. Everyone in the band is excellent, but the guitarist was unbelievable. The tagged book is a must if you are Zeppelin fan!

TK421 Awesome show! 5y
TheAromaofBooks @TK421 - Have you seen them perform?? I was really impressed. 5y
