Daisy Jones and the Six ~ A Rockin Good Time⠀
⠀
Is @tjenkinsreid Janice Joplin reincarnated? How does she come up with this realistic to the bone, all encompassing look into rock stars’ lives? And not just one but 7 of them?!? I absolutely loved Evelyn Hugo and Daisy Jones rocked. I bow to the talent that oozes out of TJR and she will always be an automatic buy for me. ⠀
⠀
PS. I very highly recommend listening to this book on audio. The star-studded cast of narrators includes Jennifer Beals and Benjamin Bratt 🤩⠀
⠀
Also, stay tuned. Thanks to @librariana_ I am now aware of a peanut butter whiskey 🥃 that will compliment Daisy Jones perfectly. 🔥⠀
