graphic novel – I just finished Kindred – so I’ll give you my Six Word Summary, Book Beginnings (hosted by Rose City Reader) and Friday 56 on the novel I haven’t started yet, Beautiful Music for Ugly Children by Kirstin Cronn-Mills.
Trans music nerd plays B sides.
Yup. And I’m sure he’s all about that bass or something. Now let’s take a look at the beginning.

If radio is the medium of the ugly person, then I can live my life as a voice and the world will be perfect.
But the dead air has got to go.
I can’t tell you how excited I am for the beginning of this book, but I’m going to try. No, I’m not. I read a little farther down the page and I don’t want to stop so I’m going to make this last piece relatively quick.
And really, that says it all. I can still remember the horn moves for The Horse from high school (we didn’t play it in college. I don’t know why). THAT’S how long pep band stays with you.

I was not a band person but all 3 of my kids were in band in high school which for a non-band person was a serious education! Most of this goes over my head but I have a feeling my girls would both really enjoy it! It’s always fun to find a book that just clicks.

Band was such a part of my life as an adolescent (and person in their early 20s). I’m in my mid-30s now and still can remember horn moves for all the songs I loved. I hope your kids also have amazing band memories.

I’m on the fence about this one… the title is off-putting for me and the beginning, tbh. I appreciate the realness of the 56 though and am drawn back in. Hope it’s a good one. Happy Sunday!

[…] wasn’t until I did a Friday 56 (a few weeks ago) that I really felt the need to read it. It’s a band thing. But now that I have, I’m quite happy […]
