    Daisy Jones & The Six Review (+ Pairings)

    Book Review: Daisy Jones & The Six

    This Daisy Jones & the Six review gives you the details of this immensely unique and page-turning book about the rise and fall of a 70s rock band. And because this is a book pairings blog “where books meet lifestyle,” I have also provided some music, books and other recommended pairings for more like it.

    Book Review: Daisy Jones & The Six

    Daisy Jones & The Six Review

    • New York Times Bestseller
    • Book of the Month Club’s Book of the Year 2019
    • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR • The Washington Post • Esquire • Glamour • Real Simple • Good Housekeeping • Marie Claire • Parade • Paste • Shelf Awareness • BookRiot

    Reese Witherspoon book club pick Daisy Jones & the Six is the brainchild of popular author Taylor Jenkins Reid, and it’s the story of the rise and fall of a 1970’s rock band, which was reminiscent to me of a band like Fleetwood Mac.  The main questions posed to the reader are: How did they get together? And, why did they fall apart?

    As one might imagine, there’s sex, drugs and rock and roll in this book.  The story is told in a documentary, interview style with the band members.  

    Reid is skilled at creating characters that live and breathe, and this book makes the reader years to hear Daisy Jones and lead male vocalist Billie sing together just one time. 

    Daisy Jones & the Six is such a unique storyline and way of telling a story that will get all your creative juices flowing.  The book even includes a full set of song lyrics!

    **BOOKISH TV RECOMMENDATION** Kudos to my husband **BOOKISH TV RECOMMENDATION**

Kudos to my husband for finding out about and recording the Hemingway documentary on PBS!

This is the Hemingway House we visited in Key West in 2016, which is inhabited by six-toed cats. It's an absolute blast to visit Key West and the Hemingway House is an absolute must visit there. (I have a full Key West guide on my blog if you need it.)

Anyway, the documentary is 3 parts, took 6 years to make and is narrated by a full cast of top celebs, including Jeff Daniels, Meryl Streep and soo many more (30+ people). We are THOROUGHLY enjoying it, and I definitely recommend you check it out.

In high school, I read Old Man and the Sea and The Sun Also Rises. I felt kind of mediocre about both but wonder how I would feel about them now. And would love to try A Farewell to Arms at some point. Do you have a Hemingway fave?

Blue light glasses just happen to be the #1 bestselling lifestyle product on my blog.  I started using them a year ago after experiencing pretty severe eye strain and dry eyes and I have worn them all day, every day since then.

The blog post dives deep on how to pick the best frame for you using the Perfect Pair Finder and Virtual Try On.  It also links up all of my favorite frames and Oprah's favorite frames (these glasses made her Favorite Things list 3 years in a row). And it provides all the other need-to-know details about blue light glasses generally and Peepers specifically.
