Praise for Music Book Club Selections
Congratulations to our authors!
We’ve had such a fun and exciting year at Music Book Club! Thank you so much for your support.
Our schedule has included classic books as well as brand new ones, and I wanted to take a moment to congratulate our authors who published this year who have received BIG end of the year praises:
• Ann Powers’ Traveling: On the Path of Joni Mitchell is among Pitchfork’s Best Music Books of 2024, Washington Post’s Best Nonfiction Books of 2024, Mojo’s Best Music Books of 2024 and Time Magazine’s Must-Read Books of 2024!
• Alison Fensterstock and Ann Powers’ How Women Made Music is an AudioFile magazine Best Audiobook of 2024!
• Deborah Paredez’s American Diva is one of Time Magazine Must-Read Books of 2024!
• Lori Tucker-Sullivan’s I Can’t Remember if I Cried: Rock Widows on Life, Love, and Legacy is a Library Journal Best Book of 2024!
