TTT - A Switch Up

The top 10 weekly meme used to be hosted by The Broke and the Bookish they  handed over the reins to ThatArtsyReaderGirl who can be found HERE.  Each week she will focus on lists which cover various topics related to books and reading.

 This week's topic is related to inspirational quotes or something like that.  To be honest, I'm not huge on noting quotes.  I have started highlighting some on my Kindle reads which show up on Goodreads but I don't know about them being inspirational.

 Since April is the month Prince passed away (3 years ago) I usually feature him some here at The Farm.  That got pushed to the side when I lost my own little Prince - Booker T.  So since it's  the last day in April, I'm going to share Prince related items that are on my radar that I WILL be adding to the collection eventually.
Book - The Beautiful Ones.  I already featured this on a "Can't Wait Wednesday" feature.  

Book - Prince, The Life, The Genius, The Legend.  I just recently discovered this book.

Book - My Name is Prince.  I just heard about this one and it's another that's coming out in October.  It better be worth it because right now it's listing for almost $53.00.  Wonder what it's made of???

Diamond and Curlz.  This is a new book written by Prince's stylist.  I'm pretty sure it's trash and I don't have high hopes.  However, I'm curious and if it is indeed as bad as I think, it should make for a fun review (I just love getting snarky at times).

3rd Eye Blind Funko Pop

Purple Rain Funko Pop

CD - Ultimate Rave.  A sort of reissue with a new CD added and a DVD of the Rave concert held on New Year's Eve 2000.  

Prince Originals CD.  This comes out in June but they've already announced that a few months later there will be a deluxe edition so I'll be waiting for that one.


So there you have it.  My cap off to remembering Prince.  In all honestly, next year April will probably be a tribute to Booker T so you guys might be safe.

    Did i ever tell you I worked at a Prince concert once? I was familiar with his music but not a huge fan or anything. His performance completely blew me away!

      You never told me. You're so lucky. I've seen lots of concert footage and he really was a wonderful performer. It's no wonder he had hip problems later in life.

    Looks like some good stuff. That second one (the book) could be good!

    It's already been three years since the world lost Prince. Wow, I still remember hearing the news like it was yesterday.

    Nice to see a step away from the theme and you really do love Prince so this was a great choice.

    I never knew there were so many Prince books! That should keep you entertained for a while! I'm very much collecting anything to do with Game of Thrones and have been treating myself to a few action figures this week!

      I mentioned it on your blog but I'll say it again - I want to see these figures! I'm imagining Jon and Ghost.

    I still need to get the Piano and a Microphone 1983 album. I can't decide whether to load it to my Kindle music library (I listen to at home), or my iPod I take when I ride the bus. The small Kindle I take in my backpack doesn't have stereo output, so I keep my ipod in there. I have to Google someday to see if there is a way to load the music from my Kindle onto my iPod. Amazon made it so you can only store music you have purchased from them on the Kindles. 😒

      Yep, Amazon likes to throw kinks in things. I have the CD of Piano and a Microphone 1983. It's really good.
