First things first, I would like to give a virtual high-five to anyone who got the song reference in the title. I am back to reading Rock Chicks by Alison Stieven-Taylor and I am still in love with this book. When you read this book you feel very empowered. It doesn't matter if you're a girl or a guy, it makes you feel like you are stronger than you think. A lot of these iconic women of rock 'n roll came from the same place as everybody else and carried their weight to the top. If that doesn't make you feel invincible, I have no idea what would.
I recently finished a chapter of the book which was about Stevie Nicks. Fleetwood Mac's best known band member is Stevie Nicks. Fleetwood Mac is very well known. You have most definitely heard of her. She is so original, and her voice is hauntingly beautiful. I was trying to think of someone she reminds me of, but that's the thing, she doesn't remind me of anybody but her. She is unlike any other, and she worked her way to the top. "Ninety per cent of the people who went to Fleetwood Mac concerts wanted to see Stevie." (pg 124) She has this magnetism that couldn't be bought. She is an idol of mine because she did her own thing, and didn't care what other people thought of her.

I have been reading 'A work in progress' by Connor Franta. This book is also by a youtuber, just like the last one but these books are very different. This book is more about the life lessons he wants to share with us and have us learn from. He states "As you get older, sometimes your goals will take you away from your closest friends." (pg 52) I love this book so far because he brings a new perspective on a small town kid rising to fame while still remembering where he came from. I remember meeting him at his book signing and it was like a dream. I never thought that I would ever get to meet him, let alone hug him and talk to him. He was just like he was since the beginning of his wild adventure to internet stardom. He was so thankful for everyone supporting him and that really reflects in his book. He is a wonderful writer and I really sugest picking up his book and reading it, even if you aren't completely aware of what he does because he puts his heart and soul into this book and you can really tell.
