Are you ready, boots? Start walkin'! 😀
pickSneaking in 2 more classic memoirs on #audiocassette. What fun to have Lauren Bacall and Nancy Sinatra read to me in my car—and even hear early recordings of Frank‘s music. Lauren had great advice on speaking your truth, while Frank professed inclusivity and equality. Nancy also dispelled many hurtful rumors about her dad. Lauren and Frank were such close friends, they almost married. Who knew? Thumbs up for both!

pickFinished the tagged book. It's been on my TBR since 2011! I'm a huge Sinatra fan and have been for years. While I found this could be gossipy at times, I really appreciated the details notes Barbara wrote about Frank and his generosity. Definitely more of an intimate portrait aof the artist and man rather than a biography. Just need one more for a bingo this month! #bookspinbingo
pickIf you want detail on Frank Sinatra, this is the book for you. I mean, I wanted to learn about the book's subject -- and I did -- but sometimes it felt like the writer thought he needed to beat you over the head to make you understand.
With that said, overall I liked it. I got what I wanted out of it. This covers his life up to the "From Here to Eternity" Oscar win.

When I think of Frank Sinatra it's hard not to think of #TheHat that was worn rakishly tilted and was oh-so stylish. This book still sits on my shelves, it's a fun read that capture's Sinatra's style & the style of the fifties-sixties. I love books on old Hollywood fashion & glamour. 🎩🍻👗🍾
Happy Friday everyone! 🍸🍸🍸
Reading with my ipad & phone so I can look up all the places. Just learned that I work across the street from the cemetery where many huge celebs are buried; that Matteo‘s restaurant near my home was Sinatra hangout. Spaces hold the DNA of what came before and I feel the past‘s presence strongly.
This book is wonderful trip through a city and time. Lots of good gossip too! Book # 1
I‘m a big Sinatra Fan, usually not big on biographies but I glad to add this to my collection. My boyfriend gave me two books for Christmas. This one and Edgar All Poe Collection. I can take my time because I doubt I‘ll read this straight thru or use this as a reference. Reviews say it reads more like a novel and it‘s one of the best biographies about him

I really wanted to read this for several years because my grandpa loved Frank Sinatra. This biography looked at a different side of the life of this famous singer. While including the main events of his career, it primary focused on his involvement with the Italian mod and his involvements in politics. This was super fascinating because we live in a time where we think it‘s new for celebrities to be politically involved in campaigns (more⬇️)
