An excellent list of bangers! Plus a couple I haven't gotten to yet. I have read What Is Love? which yes, you are going to love. It probably shouldn't feel like such an accomplishment to have read something you haven't, but what can I say, you usually read all the best ones in advance! (and then they put your blurb on it.)

haha I practically HARASSED Jen Comfort for an ARC when we were at Love Y'All together, but then life and other obligations got in the way of me reading it immediately! which I hate! WHY, life and other obligations?!?!

If you recommend it, I will read it. As a matter of fact I bought a special edition of The Art of Scandal at Love Y'All.

The way I will never forget the profound beauty of that plastic bag dancing in the wind. I also just recently re-listened to Live Through This. I'm trying to do the 2024 Pop Sugar reading challenge and one of the prompts is "an autobiography by a woman in rock n' roll". I've borrowed Dirty Blonde: The Diaries of Courtney Love from the library and fell down a Hole/Courtney Love hole shortly after.

What Is Love? by Jen Comfort is an Amazon first read this month. I'm hoping to devour that soon.

Looking forward to checking out all your other book recs.

I also own that special edition and LOVE the cover!! I kept seeing you around Love Y'All but in ways where we were passing like ships in the night -- I'd be heading into a panel while you were leaving the one before, etc. If you're in a Courtney Love place right now I definitely recommend this little 33 1/3 book on Live Through This that I'm reading -- it's really good and making me think about the album in lots of different ways! I think I may need to try to do some kind of group buddy read check-in with What Is Love? or something, since it's a First Read!
