Welcome to Litsy!

A day late with this, oh well.
1. Rough. The world and hormones are doing a number on me. Took 2 mental health days from work.
2. Absolutely! I can shut off my brain.
3. 90s grunge and riot grrl music lately. The louder and angrier the better.

I love, love, love AIC and this book was well researched I thought. I learned things I didn‘t know already, and it was great to read how the band formed. It was really heartbreaking to read about Layne‘s struggles with addiction. The fact that he was reclusive and died alone is devastating. Like Cobain, it‘s so sad to think of what could‘ve been.

So happy about my picks for this month! The tagged book is my #bookspin, which is great because it‘s #nonfictionnovember. And I got a seasonal read for my #doublespin!

I‘m so excited to see the posts for July‘s #TitlesAndTunes #SexDrugsAndRockNRoll ! I immediately thought of the tagged book to read…gotta love a history about grunge music!

As for the song, I debated over a few to choose and ended up with this one. Halestorm is from not far where I live, so it‘s kind of a local tie.

For so long I‘ve avoided reading NF books about Nirvana (or Kurt) because I knew they‘d make me sad. I did get sad throughout this book, but I learned some things about the band and the individual members that I didn‘t know already. I‘d recommend to any fan.

A pic of my dog Max because he‘s cute! And a pic of me with the Nirvana street mural in Los Angeles from my trip there this past summer.

So I started reading this book. And then I just had to stop. I just like couldn‘t with all the teen speak, you know? It was just so random and, I guess, vapid with all the high school gossip over frozen yogurt.

Maybe I‘m just too old now to read this type of YA 😵‍💫

My third and last #roll100 for August!

I‘m sorry this is so late @PuddleJumper but I have finally got round to checking my #roll100 books for April! Here they are. I‘m not sure which one I will choose yet but I‘m hoping to fit it in with #thingsincommon this month so I‘ll see what link I can find!

April 5, 1994.

A deeply tragic and impressive biography. While some may take issue with the way Cross interprets certain events, I think this book gives the best and most honest perspective on who Kurt was — a son, musician, husband, and dad.
