In July 1979, Daisy Jones and The Six, a rock n roll band, were at the height of their success. Yet after a concert in the middle of the tour the band broke up, cancelling the rest of their dates. This book attempts to discover why that happened, taking us back to the days before the band had made it, when Daisy Jones and the band known as The Six were separate entities. Told more like an extended article or oral history, the book allows […]

A number of folks at my work suggested this book, and specifically said it was great on audio and since my commute is grossss (hour or hour 15 one way) I’m always on the look for not just any audiobook, but one that makes my time on the road worth it. In addition, it’s a Reese Witherspoon book club pick and I’ve been delighted by her choices that I’ve read so far: see also The Library Book, Eleanor Oliphant is perfectly fine. This was a […]

Daisy Jones & the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid Finished on May 2, took 9 days to read 3 stars on Goodreads Genre: Fiction Rating 2/3 Fiction There were so many reasons why I was excited to read Daisy Jones & the Six. Several of my favorite blogs, podcasts, and friends recommended this book. I loved the author’s earlier novel The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. And most notably, earlier this year Daisy Jones got the ultimate bump when it got picked by Reese Witherspoon’s […]

I first saw Daisy Jones & The Six recommended by Elaine Lui of LaineyGossip a few months ago. I’ve picked up several books from Lainey’s recommendations and enjoyed most of them. Daisy Jones & The Six was no exception. Daisy Jones & The Six was one of those books I found myself mentally casting as I was reading it. The supporting cast came together in my head pretty quickly but the leads were a bit harder. Daisy and Billy ended up as sort of amalgamations […]

Daisy Jones and the Six is another recent Reese Witherspoon Book Club pick, and so far, my track record has been pretty decent with Reese’s picks. Imagine if all of the members of Fleetwood Mac – as well as their producers, spouses, accountants, and friends — sat down and talked to a journalist, providing an oral history of everything that had ever happened to them. Imagine the amount of drugs and sex and backstabbing and inter-band politics that would be mixed in with brilliant songwriting […]

I love you as much as I’m willing to love anybody.

This is a novel in VH1 Behind the Music format. It’s posed as a behind the scenes tell all of a famous, if ethereal rock band from the mid to late 70s. In the beginning, the band is a kind Allman Brothers band type deal, then it morphs into a kind of Fleetwood Mac type deal with the addition of the beautiful, damaged, and beautifully damaged Daisy Jones, who herself feels like an amalgam of Stevie Nicks, Joni Mitchell, Marianne Faithful, Dusty Springfield, etc etc […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.
Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.

Roland of Gilead on How can you give us the gift of a crazy character named Rando Thoughtful and then just as suddenly take that gift away? We need to talk, Uncle Stevie.I came across this randomly years after it was written because I was searching "Random Thoughtful. But I have the...
Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
