Acquire Today Dont Sleep With Your Drummer Articulated By Jen Sincero Available Through Ebook

read this book so many times fromthth grade This was great, Really engrossing and I found it very hard to put down, The characters are likeable and believable and you so want everything to go right for them!

Jenny quits her job that she hates to start the band that she has always wanted to start.


It is a wonderful whirlwind of rock and roll, A fast paced and energetic read that I would recommend to everyone,

Grace This book was okay, I was really looking forward to it, but it fell a little flat, The escapades and inner thoughts of the main character, Jenny, were very funny as she tried to start and keep a band going, Some parts of the book shows that it was written a little while ago i, e. people had pagers, which somehow bothered me a little bit, because the rest of the story felt current,

I can't put my finger on what didn't make me love this book, Maybe I had wanted it to be more visually descriptive or draw me in more or care about the characters a little more,

Not bad, but I wouldn't read it again I'm a chronic rereader, Greetings and hello!

I am an interstellar talent scout of the Castor Moving
Group Network, You may call me Glorbalorbl, My
home is in the Zubenelgenubi system, a multistar
neighborhood which lies conveniently close to your
home system's ecliptic plane, As a result of this
geometric convenience, us Zubenelgenubians have
long been capable of analyzing your home planet
using techniques like the TTV method familiar to
you, and we are even fully capable of direct
spectroscopic analysis of your atmosphere, but even
if we were limited to your primitive methods, or
limited to one star system, we would still have
known about your biosphere since long before your
particular species showed up on the scene, because
we are a much older civilization that has migrated
into the area from elsewhere in the galaxy.


We have occasionally glanced your way in curiosity
since before the first campfires began dotting the
dark side of your planet, Upon observing your
behaviors as you developed your unique identity
among the lifeforms of your world, we quickly knew
that you showed a lot of promise, but also
possessed many problematic qualities.
As for these
troublesome characteristics, you seemed apparently
unable or unwilling to recognize and remedy them in
as timely of a manner as we have come to expect
from most species that we consider to be developing
toward true intelligence.


We have long wanted to give you the benefit of the
doubt, noting that your home planet is as dynamic
as it is beautiful, The challenges faced by the
evolution of life on your world presented you with
many harsh realities and many long threads of
intergenerational trauma, We get it, you grew up in a
tough neighborhood, You did not have the benefit of
growing up slowly on a fullystable paradise planet
orbiting neatly in a flarefree band of space around a
fullyconvective star with an extremely long main
sequence lifespan, like my species originally did.
. . or,
in fact, like most of the intelligent species in the
galaxy did,

Nonetheless, it was frustrating enough watching the
constant setbacks that resulted from your
stubbornly persistent myopia that we decided to
stop paying much attention to what was going on
over here.
The last time anyone in our network took a
serious peek must have been a few hundred Earth
orbits ago, Upon reflection, I must say this appears
to have been a significant oversight on our behalf,
as you have experienced a surprising amount of
change in that time interval.


During a normal shift break on a routine research
mission through the local void, my colleagues and I
were recreationally surfing the plasma veil on the
edge of your Sun's magnetic field when we
happened upon a small craft of yours containing
some cute cartoons and a record that appears to be
titled "THE SOUNDS OF EARTH THE UNITED STATES
OF AMERICA PLANET EARTH" as lovers of music
and recording arts ourselves, we immediately threw
that shit onto the decks and put the needle down.

While the sound was a little bit primitive and mostly
contained what seemed to our sensibilities like under
produced source material captured from a single
linear timeline, we had to admit it had some pretty
good tracks on it.
Even Greglorbalor the Horrible was
delightedly clapping his digits at times,

As the resident talent scout on our mission, it was
incumbent upon me to reach out to you, Our team
quickly analyzed the current state of your common
languages and colloquialisms, as well as the state
of your science, Using that information I was able to
write you this message, and even select a few
anthems of my alien nation to share with you, which
I hope you will enjoy.
My home system, after all, is
renowned for pumping out the phattest beats in the
Orion Arm,

Now, to get more serious, Some of the things I say
may feel to you like harsh criticisms, but I want you
to keep in mind that if I didn't see potential in you, I
would not bother to send you this message.
With
that in mind, there are some things I would like you
to consider, In order to apply for galactic citizenship
and be liberated from your current state of
quarantined containment, you are going to need to
meet the following requirements:

You must cease your habitual engagement in
avoidable conflict.
This includes conflict within your
own species as well as conflict between your
civilization and its environment, Amongst nearly all
enlightened interstellar civilizations, this is the
primary measure by which the relative intelligence of
a life form is established, Any civilization with a
tendency toward violence, duplicity, sabotage, and ill
will is simply not considered mature enough to
populate beyond their native star system, As long as
you avoid making the breathtakingly obvious
decision to work in harmony with the world you are a
part of, then I must woefully inform you that you and
your music will not be welcome at any of our public
parks, or on any of our relativistic highways, or in
any of our universallyacclaimed utopian garden
metropolis sanctuaries, or at any of our Galactic
Music Awards ceremonies.


You must eliminate poverty, Mismanagement of
resources is generally considered a bad sign when
analyzing the inhabitants of any world, By our
standards, as long as any one member of your
civilization is involuntarily unable to meet their basic
needs, including access to food, shelter, information,
and care, the title of "intelligent" will continue to
elude your species.


You must transmit a new collection of your best
music in the direction of my home system, the star
system you know as Alpha Librae, from between the
longitude you callW andW, at the time you
call:AM, on the date you call June,.
I
repeat: new mixtape, right ascensionhm,s,
declination'.", at the moment of the
solstice closest to your aphelion, sixteen orbits from
the time of this message, and from the part of your
planet facing most directly away from your Sun at
the time.
This isn't an intelligence test like the other
two items I have listed, I simply want a more upto
date demo from you, We will have a
receiver/transmitter in position to then distribute
your message rapidly to the Zubenelgenubi system
and, from there, to my colleagues in the Castor
Moving Group Network.


To put it lightly, a good demo is a great first step
toward building your rapport with the rest of us, and
would make your application for galactic citizenship
much more likely to be approved.
If your demo is
good, and you've met the other two requirements I
mentioned, then we might be able to finally invite
you to the party.
If your application is indeed
approved, you will then have access to the collective
knowledge of the various networks tangling their
way around the Milky Way.
That includes an
abundance of helpful information about travel,
communication, computation, longevity, and
spacetime itself, to name a few points of interest,

Good luck, Earth People,

Kindest regards,

This book was borrowed to me by a friend and it isn't necessarily one that I'd pick up on my own.
I also need to mention that I didn't get into it until I was/of the way done, I don't know. Some writers can pull you in and some can't, But I wanted to finish the book because Kelli said it was good and I didn't want to let her down, And I'm glad I did, This is basically about a woman going through a quarter life crisis in her's after she gets fired from her job, She realizes what she really wants to do is be in a band and has basically no support, Well she starts a band and they play gigs, are actually really good, get signed and then it all falls apart, But then it kind of comes together again towards the end, But I think it's a great book forsomethings because it just reaffirms what we all feel towards the end of our's uncertainty and fear, This might be one of the worst books I ever read, An absolute cringe fest. Straight to the trash you go, This book was way better than I thought it was going to be, It was one of those: "I have low expectations for you, prove me wrong Sincero!" At first, the journal entry format put me off thinking "I'm never going to be able to get anything out of this" but within fifteen pages, I was laughing and identifying with the ease and flow of the format.
It was truly like reading someone's journal and discovering things along with them,

The narrator is obnoxious, but in a sincere yet innocent way, She is trying to piece her life together after being dragged down by "the man" for twentyeight, nearing twentynine years, She finally decides "That's enough!" and quits her numerous suitstuffed jobs and starts her band,

It is very inspiring to watch someone as "old" cuzisn't OLD, per se, but it is a little LATE to get started in the game as she is grab hold of her dream and say "I'm not letting go! Even if it kills me!" Too many times I've seen the mundane life take hold of my friends with those admirable dreams, and smother the crap out of them.
Too many times I've seen the amazing and gifted and fearless person get washed up and taken down by socalled "life", We are here ONCE make of it what you can,

By the end of the book, I was definitely cheering her on and though she made some stupid mistakes who DOESN'T they made for a very funny, breakthrough backdrop to her life.


It was a very enjoyable read, I am hoping Sincero's next will be too, From sitelink westofmars. com

One of the more recent books to cross my radar, Jen Sincero's Don't Sleep With Your Drummer certainly didn't languish on the TBR pile for long.
I'm not sure why I had picked it up on the recommendation of a fellow PaperbackSwap member and I guess it just called to me,

There's a lot to like about this book, Yeah, it's sort of cliched in that this story's been told before: girl decides to drop her life and make one last shot at the big time, But it also avoids falling into the many cliches and death traps that so many rock and roll novels fall into, Yes, the bass player is a junkie, Yes, the drummer's hot. Yes, the lead guitarist is flaky, It's the way that Ms, Sincero deals with all these that elevates this book into one I'd recommend,

Let's start with Lucy, We're told she's flaky, but from where I sit, she's not so bad, Every time she seems to flake on Jenny, she's doing it for the same reason and that reason isn't a man, despite Jenny's jealousy of Lucy's way with the opposite gender.
It was apparent to me that Lucy was in Sixty Foot Queenie only to make Jenny happy, Her heart was with the Afreaka! outfit it's a character flaw in Lucy that she wasn't brave enough to speak up, It's also a character flaw in Jenny that she wasn't willing to see this and to let her best friend go,

Jake the junkie, . . This was one of the plot lines that wasn't well served by Jenny's easybreezy voice, There's a lot going on here, with an exwife, some violence, the drug use, Yet we never see beneath the surface, I'd have liked to, even a little bit,

Same for Scott the hot drummer with the serious jealousy issues, Here's a man who's willing to park his truck around the corner and crawl out the bedroom window so no one finds out he's schtupping the band leader, yet if anyone touches his girl the band leader, who of course is going to be the center of attention he goes ballistic.
It makes no sense. I need a backstory here, I need some character development,

I also wonder about the need to hide the relationship, After all, Rob Zombie and Sean Yseult, anyone Yeah, the end of their relationship was the end of White Zombie, but for years, they made quite the team, Yes, Scott's jealousy issues doom this relationship, but Jenny didn't know that when she felt the electricity between herself and Scott, Yet she was all too quick to proclaim this fling as wrong, She never gave it a chance,

Ultimately, I had a hard time liking Jenny, My biggest issue with her was

that she came across more like a nineteenyearold kid than she did as a twentynineyearold woman, That's not because I was married by ageand therefore, Jenny was wrong to be so flighty, Hardly.

Jenny had a naivetivity to her that would have worked for a younger character, but didn't work in someone who should have gained some worldliness and maturity.
I frequently found myself losing patience with her, counting how many pages I'd read, and wondering if I could quit reading now,

I'm glad I didn't, While Jenny never really grew into a woman in her late 's, this problem managed to stop bothering me so badly once the band began to take off.
Besides, she had moments that salvaged some of my good will toward her like when she was tutoring and found a way to get one of the kids to break his writer's block.
THAT was a masterful moment,

Ultimately, I like rock and roll fiction best when the pages breathe music, and Don't Sleep with your Drummer certainly did that, The music end of this book is real, It's vivid. It's almost enough to make up for the other issues I had,

Oh, if only Jenny had been nineteen instead of, . . we'd have a raveworthy book, . .
