WWCM: True Blood (TV Show)
In 2008, True Blood hit the small screen with a whole lot of blood splatter. Whether you personally loved, hated or were indifferent to the show about small town Bon Temps, Louisiana and its host of sexy, violent (and frequently nude) vampires, True Blood made an impression on the scene. Especially off the back of the Twilight phenomenon and the resurgence of paranormal romance’s popularity as a genre. If you were too old to truly enjoy the teenaged angst of sparkling vampire chastity, True Blood had the solution: sex, drugs and a whole lot of deliciously gory drama.
WWCM: Daisy Jones & The Six (Novel)
Singing atop pianos, on-stage bitch outs and nipple buses. Welcome to the world of Daisy Jones & The Six. The biggest band to hit the rock ‘n’ roll airways at the turn of the 1970s. As the slogan goes, “their music made them famous; their break up made them legendary”. Taylor Jenkins Reid, best-selling author of the Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and Carrie Soto is Back, delivers a creative, documentary-style retrospective of this fictional band, their skyrocketing success and why they plummeted back to earth all too soon. Daisy Jones & The Six is a pill-popping, heart-rocking expression of overcoming our demons, choosing our own paths in life and what it means to be so beautifully, chaotically human.
