Daisy Jones & The Six

Review: Daisy Jones and the Six - Taylor Jenkins Reid - March 2019


This particular book has been sitting on my "want to read" list for a while now as it sounded like a fun read and I have also read a few of this particular's authors books and enjoyed them. The other reason, I needed to get on and read it was because it is being made into a TV series which I am looking forward to watching, more so now that I have finished the book. Do you know how some books can just take longer than others to read, often due to the format of the book? For me, that was Daisy Jones and the Six. This book was written in a full interview format as the "author" is writing a biography about the band and the lead-up to their break-up which happened suddenly. One minute the band was at the top of their game and the next just like that everyone started to crumble one by one until Daisy Jones and the Six didn't exist anymore. Starting from the beginning were two different stories - Daisy Jones's and Billy and Graeme Dunne's. From Daisy's story, we read as she gets hooked on music, and drugs and eventually joins The Six and headlining tours to Billy and Graeme Dunne - two brothers who grew a band of themselves to Six people and eventually seven when Daisy Jones joined. The years were the 1960s -1980s and music was a different scene back then and the world was different too. I enjoyed this book and could imagine it would have been talking about the behind-the-scenes of any band at that time. The other thing I did like and smiled about was the little easter egg of bringing in "Mick Rivas" as he is the father of the cast in Malibu Rising.  I am now looking forward to watching the TV Show and if you loved movies like Rock of Ages and Almost Famous - then you have Daisy Jones and The Six.

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
