Windsor Library Reading Challenge discussion

Music is our Summer Reading theme this year, but you can read this one at any time!

The Music Shop by Rachel Joyce will most likely be my choice for this (though as we all know reading mood's can change). Her book The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry and its companion The Love Song of Miss Queenie Hennessy were so warm and intimate with quietly heartbreaking narrators that I know I can expect greatness from this one.

I am going to learn guitar this year. (maybe) I am "reading" Hal Leonard Guitar Method Complete Edition. Learning new things keeps the mind young.

I am having a tough time finding a book for this category that I’m interested in. My husband says a Carol Burnett bio doesn’t count (she sings!). I saw the library had Eleanor and Park on their music book display and I enjoyed that one when I read it years ago. Any suggestions for music books in that vein? Or histories of instruments or something? I’m not enough of a fan of any musician to read their bio.

I don't think the library is being super picky about what counts for the different categories. Do you like musicals? Both Hamilton: A Revolution and Dear Evan Hansen were both quick books that told about the making of the respective musicals.


Nick & Norah's infinite playlist by Rachel Cohn and High Fidelity by Nick Hornby are fiction books in the same vein as Eleanor and Park.
