Hey everybody, its Erica over at The
Broken Spine. Welcome back to my channel
and if this is your first time here
thank you for stopping by. I am going
to, like I try to do every video and
start off with the question of the day.
Today's question (have to look at it)
is: What TV show or movie do you refuse
to watch? For me, I have two. It's
Friends and I just drew a blank. Friends
and Sex in the City. I tried watching
them. I hated them. Hated them both. I just
I didn't get it. Now that they're
in syndication I've tried
to watch again. Well, Friends I don't know
about Sex and the City; but Friends
is on. And, I've tried to watch
again and - I just don't, I don't I don't
like it. My sister on the other hand
absolutely loved them and I just
couldn't understand. I didn't understand
why. But, anyway so those are the two
that I refused to watch TV shows or
movies that I refused to watch. So in the
comment section below tell me what TV
shows and or movies that you refuse to
watch? Today's video is going to be a
Top Ten Tuesday, and I try to do these
on a weekly basis. Well, I'm,
lying to you guys, again. My
goal is to do them on a weekly basis.
However I have failed. We're gonna see
now that we are social distancing I would
like to see if I could film videos and
post more regularly. Fingers crossed.
That's a goal. That was a goal in
January, but well it is now April almost
May. Anyway, on to the Top Ten
Tuesday prompt: Titles that would make
good band names. I have ten books
that I think would make good band names. As I was putting this together,
I was kind of surprised. I think I have quite a few books
that would make good band
names. So, yeah, let's just get right into
it. I'm not gonna talk a whole bunch
about the books. Some of them are
on my TBR. Some of them I have read and haven't done reviews for them yet.
The first book that I have in Colson
Whitehead's The Nickel Boys, I absolutely
loved this book. I read it
at the end of last year and I still
haven't done a review for it yet and I
really should. It's a book
that will make you angry.
It will tug at your heartstrings. It
just sends you through a
bunch of emotions. So, if you
haven't read it yet - I definitely
recommend that you do. But
just be prepared. My second book oddly is
called The Second Sex by Simone de
Beauvoir, I think I'm pronouncing that
wrong. If I am please feel free to
correct me. This was actually a
book club read when I lived in Colorado
and I didn't even come close to
finishing it. One of the people that was
in the group was a professor and
he used to teach The Second Sex
and he said the way that it's set
up in the book he feels is wrong.
Volume One is: Facts and Myths
and Volume Two is: Lived Experiences.
He said the way he taught it
was to read Volume Two first and then
circle back and read Volume One
He was very adamant that
Volume One is a sleeper and it puts you
off reading the rest of the book; which I
wholeheartedly can attest to. I
started with Volume One and I didn't
come near anywhere close to
finishing this book. Anyway, I think that
The Second Sex or just Second Sex.
I'm just looking at the books that
I've chosen - I think most of my
bands would probably be like Indie
rock bands. I don't know. Let me
know what your thoughts are on
the selection of books that I've chosen,
if you've read any of them, and what you
think the genre of the band would
be. So, yeah, I'd like to hear that.
The next book that I have is 
Exit West by Mohsin Hamid, I
haven't read this. I bought this a little
bit ago and I it's no longer a high
priority on my TBR, but I think
this is what happens when you
continue to buy books and not read the
ones that you've bought. I need to
stop that. But anyway, I still want
to read it and hopefully I will get to
it this year because it is on my TBR to
read for this year. Hopefully. . .
The fourth book that I have that I
think would make a good band name is
Pachinko by Min Jin Lee. This is another
one I bought fort a book club
that I never went to.I think
I moved back to the DC area when
the book club was about to take
place. The next book that I have is
No-No Boy by John Okada. I read this
years ago in an undergrad in
one of my lit classes that
actually focused on something other than
European white authors or just white
authors in general. I remember I
enjoyed it. This is one that I actually
want to reread because I don't remember
anything about it. I just remember or
maybe I enjoyed it because it wasn't a
dead white male author. Maybe that's
why I enjoyed it, I don't know.
but I think No-No Boy would
make a good band name. The next
book that I have is The Outsiders by S.E.
Hinton. I am not going to talk about it
because we probably all know what it's
about and I mean there's a movie out as well
What am i doing wrong?
I usually use Mary Had a Little Lamb
as a warm-up before I
get started with whatever song I'm
learning, but today is not going so good.
Part of it is because there's a lot
of pollen in the air and my asthma is
acting up. I'm gonna give this one
more go and if I don't at least come
close to nailing it, then I'm just going
to stop.
The next book that I have is Morning Star by
Pierce brown. I have all of the Red
Rising books. As a matter of fact
Morning Star and Golden Son, I actually
got as Christmas presents from a
Secret Santa that I did and I was
super excited that the person (cuz I
only asked for one book).
I was super excited that she got me two
got me both of them.
I thanked her profusely on so
many occasions for getting me both of
them. And I actually see
Morning Star not as a rock band.
I see this as kind of an old-school
R&B group like Motown kind of group.
The next book that I have is
Isabel Allende Ripper. This is, I
didn't even know that she did mystery
thriller. And this is a mystery thriller.
When I saw this at a library book
sale and I read it I was like
I'm on it. My next one and I'm not
even gonna try and pronounce the
author's name. I found this at one of my
favorite used bookstores and I
never heard of this author before
I read the back of it; but the thing
that caught me was the cover. So the
title of the book is called Petals of
Blood and that that cover is really
quite ominous and eerie looking to me. So,
I was like ooh this is right up my
alley. So, the author's
name I cannot pronounce it. I will not
try to. Petals of Blood, would
definitely be a good rock band in my
opinion.
The last book that I have is We by Yevgeny Zamyatin, I read this;
if you can see all the tabbies that I
have in this very short book.
Zamyatin is or was a Russian writer.
This was not published in his lifetime. I
think it was published in the 80s, it was
written in the 20s. I'm want to say 1927
or something like that. But he is
considered a precursor to Ayn Rand,
George Orwell, Ray Bradbury, you know all
of those dystopian writers. I read this
as one of my very first books last
year and I absolutely absolutely
loved it. If you have an
opportunity to find this definitely
pick it up. It's very short it
should only take you a 3 or 4 hours
My copy is 223 pages and it took
me several days to read it because I
spent a lot of time with it. Obviously.
It's like tabbed and seriously highlighted.
I definitely - this is on that I definitely recommend.
If you are into dystopian literature
definitely pick this up if you haven't.
So, that's all I have for you. Again,
if you have an idea of what genre these
books bands would be playing let
me know in the comment section. If you
