Zen Guitar  by Philip Toshio Sudo

I’m not going to lie: this book really helped me with my guitar playing. When I first started teaching myself, I stressed myself out completely. This book helped me ‘let it go’. I learned to relax, and just let my playing ‘come to me’.

X by Clamp

First, let me say I’m still not sure how I came up with a title for the letter X. Okay, with that out of the way…
A battle for the fate of the world. This is one of my favorite manga series, anime series, and the animation and story for the feature film are incredible. The ladies at CLAMP are extremely talented.

Valentine by Nicole E. Woolaston

Did I add my own book to this list. Yep, I did that. It’s my second publication, and one of my crowning achievements. If you’re looking for a story about a semi-goth chick armed with a pair of guns and an attitude, look no further!

The Umbrella Academy  by Gerard Way

One of my favorite musicians wrote a comic, and of course I had to read it. I own the entire Umbrella Academy series. Think of Village of the Damned, only some of the kids become superheroes.

This Song Will Save Your Life  by Leila Sales

I don’t read YA fiction very often, but this one caught my eye and I wasn’t able to put it down! Teenagers and music and night life! That’s my jam!

Shout, Sister, Shout! The Untold Story of Rock-And-Roll Trailblazer Sister Rosetta Tharpe by Gayle Wald

I discovered this book by accident, and I’m so glad I did. I wish I had known about Sister Rosetta Tharpe when I was growing up, or even when I first began to play the guitar. She has become an inspiration to me: a black woman who played rock’ roll!

Rotten: No Irish, No Blacks, No Dogs  by John  Lydon

I’m a fan of punk rock, and the Sex Pistols, so I figured, John Lydon aka Johnny Rotten’s autobiography had to be pretty interesting. He did not disappoint. But this is more than just his story: it’s an oral history of the punk movement itself.

Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World that Can’t Stop Talking  by Susan Cain

After reading this, I feel less bad about being an introvert. I’m actually caught in the middle of being an introvert and an extrovert. There’s nothing wrong with being quiet.
