A Whole Lotta Led

The blog Largehearted Boy has a recurring series called "Book Notes," in which authors compile playlists of music related to their books. Never has this been more appropriate than his recent list from Jessica Hopper, author of The Girls' Guide to Rocking: How to Start a Band, Book Gigs, and Get Rolling to Rock Stardom. Hopper had to power through the writing of her book--in order to meet her contractual deadline--and she turned to Led Zeppelin to get her through.

Was it worth it? I'll say. You can learn more about Hopper's book at girlsguidetorocking.com. And meet the author herself when she's in Magers & Quinn on hursday, July 16, at 7:30pm. Details are on our events page.--David E
