60 Songs That Explain the '90s | Rob Harvilla

This was my first 5-star read (not including reread books) for the year. Granted, this is a very niche book, so it‘s not for everyone, but it pulled my ‘90s girl heartstring hard. A fun reminiscence of songs, a few of which I either forgot about or did not know. I‘m not a big podcast listener, but it made me get so close to listening to Harvilla‘s episodes. #12BooksOf2024

Ruthiella The podcast is fun, if you ever end up checking it out. He often goes on tangents far from the featured songs or performers. 3w

Librarybelle Good to know, @Ruthiella ! 3w

dabbe Wonder if they have one for the 80s? 🤔 3w

Librarybelle Good question, @dabbe ! I‘m sure there is something comparable! 3w

Wannabe: Reckonings with the Pop Culture That Shapes Me | Aisha Harris

pick

I love an essay collection! Bonus points when the author is a millennial and close to my age—the case here. All about 90s pop culture like Disney movies and the Spice Girls, I found this so relatable, entertaining, and informative all at once. My only quibble: can we stop being (perhaps unintentionally?) judgy and condescending about choosing to have or not have children? 3rd book in a row that I encountered this, so maybe it‘s a me-thing.
