Record Collecting for Girls: Unleashing Your Inner Music Nerd, One Album at a Time"Record Collecting for Girls is an invitation for all of you stereophiles (who happen to be female), to make your own top five lists, and then, armed and ready with the book's fun facts, to argue their merits to the ever present boys' club of music snobs in your life."

"Record Collecting for Girls is an invitation for all of you stereophiles (who happen to be female), to make your own top-five lists, and then, armed and ready with the book's fun facts, to argue their merits to the ever-present boys' club of music snobs in your life." --Sarahbeth Purcell, author of Love Is the Drug and This Is Not a Love Song

You never leave home without your iPod. You're always on the lookout for new bands, and you have strong opinions when it comes to music debates, like Beatles vs. Stones. For years, you've listened to guys talk about all things music, but the female perspective has been missing. Until now.

Drawing on her personal life as a music enthusiast, as well as her experience working at MTV and in radio, Courtney E. Smith explores what music can tell women about themselves--and the men in their lives. She takes on a range of topics, from the romantic soundtracks of Romeo and Juliet to the evolution of girl bands. She shares stories from her own life that shed light on the phenomenon of guilty pleasures and the incredible power of an Our Song. Along the way, she evaluates the essential role that music plays as we navigate life's glorious victories and its soul-crushing defeats. Finally, here is a voice that speaks to women--because girls get their hearts broken and make mix tapes about it, too.

"Courtney Smith has smarts and sass in spades. Her insights are as hilarious as they are thoughtful, and when you finish reading this book, you'll feel like you just got home from a perfect night out with your best friend. And you'll want to listen to Prince. At full volume." --Megan Jasper, Executive Vice President, Sub Pop Records

So SOFT, Quality, WARM Beautiful Throw!
Color: Sage Green, Size: King(108×90in), Color: Sage Green, Size: King(108×90in)
AGANEAR COZY!!! WARM, lightweight king size throw. Beautiful color of sage green, my favorite, color is the perfect shade!! King size is 108x90 it is huge, soft, plush, cuddle up watch tv, read a book with hot chocolate Fall Time!! Totally Happy with this purchase! It can be used anywhere or anytime, get a king and there is lots of room to share. The blanket has a diamond floral pattern on one side, the other is a plain soft, plush fabric. Machine wash on cold. I am told by my Daughter who has one, it washes well and is a very durable blanket. Always great to have a real known person give you great feedback before you buy. Great value and purchase!! Happy Fall and Cuddling up in a nice blanket!

Love the look and feel of this blanket. Good quality and great prices. I ordered a queen size and is perfect. Really love it. Plan on purchasing a couple more, like this one for 2 other bedrooms, in different colors. Really love this blanket.

As expected, good quality for price
Color: Khaki, Size: Throw(50×60in)
Very soft, color is exactly what I expected. These are thinner than most so don’t expect a big cozy throw blanket. They’re big enough to snuggle up on the couch but it share with anyone (: I did not have an issue with shedding, although I’ve washed them a few times now and am worried they might start to thin on me. Very soft and doesn’t get “matted” when washed and dried.
