I got it day one. And rebought all the 78-88 stuff on wax. And as I go along I stop and listen to the record released during that time being covered in the book and listen to all the studio boots and live boots I have for that period. I'm in the Parade era right now. So close to the end of the book. I really like this version of the book. Much more than the original. 1980-Present

I might have both of the author's on board if we do this book thread. That would be really neat. | |

I read the book in two sittings. Easy read. Can't wait to discuss. | |

I'll do it. It'd be nice if you gave a little run-up warning and started it on a date. I didn't even have the Mayte book till ya'll was nearly done with it. | |

OK, we'll do it. And I have to order the book too! I better get to it. | |

Yeah, we got a little excited and couldn't wait. | |

Have the book but haven't read it.....this will be my incentive! "Remember when you told me that love was touching souls?" ☔️ A Case of You ☔️ | |

I'm interested..I got the kindle download and read it when it was released..I definitely will reread it...I don't have "possessed" but was able to get a copy from the local library...i thought that "rise" really benefitted from Laura being in the area and having access to local community... | |

Awesome sounds like it's a go! It will not start until next week. My book is suppose to be here on the 27th and this will give people time to get their's also. . I've been in contact with Laura Tiebert and she may participate also. | |

Thank you guys for the interest. Laura and I would be happy to help make it a fun discussion in any way we can. | |

That would be fantastic if you both would join us. Some of us our just waiting for our books so we can get started!!! | |
| - E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
I'm in too! I've had mine for a couple of weeks now- life had gotten a little hectic, working super late and I couldn't find the free time to start reading it. I'll get on it this weekend tho | |

I ordered mine yesterday, but I'm to cheap to do over night shipping, so it's suppose to be here by the 27th. | |

Will the authors be a part of this discussion? I hope we are still encouraged to freely state our sentiments on the book if they are. Will we be allowed to ask them questions if they're involved? | |

I already have the book. I've read about 35 %. I stopped for The Most Beautiful. I love you baby, just not like I love this guitar.~Prince~ | |
