No. of Pages: 327
ISBN: 9781953388063
Cover design: original cover and pen name before book republishing in 2023.
Synopsis:
Marly moves across the country on a leap of faith, but will the familiar fear of losing someone she loves be her downfall?
For the first time since her parent’s death, Marly has a new sense of hope as she moves to Colorado to be with the boy she had met on her epic cross-country road trip. What’s supposed to be a fresh start, quickly goes awry after Dylan gets into an accident, leaving him stranded in the wilderness alone. As rescuers search for him, Marly is left panicked, wondering if he’s safe as she re-lives the day her parents died.
When Dylan is finally back to safety, it's Marly who’s left battered and afraid. Dylan is eager to heal, while Marly is determined to stop him from risking an injury again. What Marly doesn’t know is that Dylan’s drive to summit mountains goes much deeper than wanting to cross something off his bucket list.
Will Marly’s fear of losing Dylan be the exact thing that pushes him away?
Let the Rubble Fall is the second book in the Road Trip Snapshot Series. If you like sweet romance, outdoors, and coming of age, then you’ll love this story that will be sure to tug at your heartstrings.
__________________________________________
What did I think of the book?
Let the Rubble Fall by Mandi Lynn Bell My rating: ⭐ 1 of 5 stars (1.5) [Disclaimer: spoilers!] A year later, and I'm finally finishing the Road Trip Snapshot series! The first book had a lot of good things going for it that made for an enjoyable read, even despite the issues present in the book. I absolutely loved the 3rd book/standalone of the series. But Let the Rubble Fall is another case that has suffered from what I call the "curse of the second book". This book is labelled as a coming-of-age romance. But the story is riddled with so much drama, and irrational behavior from Marly that it left me wondering why her and Dylan were even together. From chapter 32 and onward, the book is written as if Marly has made good progress in her healing, and is more stable in herself. She's able to be the one to help her boyfriend, Dylan, in healing from his own grief and trauma, and even offers him closure from losing his grandfather. Frankly, I quite enjoyed the ending, and it showed the potential of how the book could have been from the start. But instead, we get a story that is 85% of Marly having pretty extreme mental breakdowns, and running away from her problems at every turn. She quickly becomes toxic and controlling towards her boyfriend, even becoming a hypocrite, when she starts seeing her parents deaths in Dylan's hiking accident. Any progress she made in the first book is lost. She never processes or deals with the loss of her parents in a healthy way. Nothing triggers her to change. She doesn't grow, or make any real character development throughout the story. But at the last 15%, everything suddenly takes a 180 turn, and the story finishes in the end as if she did. It makes the last chapters of the book feel completely disconnected from the rest of the story, and I'm so confused as to what the intended message is being conveyed here. The other issue I experienced with the book was an imbalance in details. Where there was a significant lack of basic character descriptions such as hair color, eye color, body build, etc. throughout the book, other things were over-described with too many unnecessary details crammed into a scene. This was something the first book suffered from as well, but it's even more of an issue in Let the Rubble Fall. I did enjoy the moments where Marly is describing the landscapes she travels to, and they provided a great deal of relief from the rest of the book, but there's not many of them. Favorite character/s: Lori, for being the "voice of reason" throughout the story. Dylan, for being strong in himself, and not letting Marly stop him from doing what he loves. What drew me to this book? It's the second book to the series I was reading. Honestly, I didn't feel that drawn to it on its own. Stars: 1.5 of 5 stars. It pains me a bit to rate it so low, but this really wasn't my idea of a good story or reading experience. View all my reviews

Meet Me at the Summit, Road Trip Snapshot book #1 My rating: ⭐⭐⭐ 3 of 5 stars!
The Trail to You & Me, Road Trip Snapshot book #3 My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 of 5 stars! - Events in book #3 occur after Let the Rubble Fall, but can be read as a standalone.

As an avid sitcom watcher, it was only a matter of time before Gaby brought up The Big Bang Theory on the podcast, but as a group of people born and raised in Pasadena, it was a shorter matter of time before we derailed that conversation to talk about our hometown. Check out episode 265 to hear us talk about The Big Bang Theory and about Pasadena!

Last year I had two poems in Colorado Review, "Walking Between Brutalist Structures in Spain or France" and "She'll Be Coming Round the Mountains When She Comes". I do not title things long deliberately to cause trouble for graphic designers. It is only what happens when I speak truly out of my own gorgeous nature. I am very proud to have published in Colorado Review, of which I think highly

All TV series I've ever seen.
@thefirsthogokage 's search for new show to binge inspired me to list all TV shows I've seen so far. Of course I might add some along the way because I won't remember everything in one sitting.
Considering that it's going to be a lot... I might as well divide them in
1940 -1970 (this post)
1980 - 2000
2010 - Now.
Let us begin.
1944 - The Black Whip (serial)
For youngsters, a serial was like a TV show that our grandparents (maybe even great-grandparents) watched on the cinema. Sometimes all episodes (around 15 min each) would be edited together and played as a movie.
It was an experimental take of the character known as Zorro (born in pulp fiction) transported to USA's Wild West where two siblings have a newspaper but the brother is also "The Black Whip" a vigilante that keeps the peace in their town... until he's killed so his sister takes over his mantle (without anyone noticing). Fun fact: George J. Lewis later played Guy Williams's Zorro's father: Don Alejandro de la Vega.
Overall entertaining. The cliffhangers are kind of over done (keep in mind maybe back then they had to wait 1 week or more to see the next episode) and the escapes are sometimes kinda ridiculous but well... it's fun anyway. I saw it on Youtube.
1957 - Zorro (Disney)
You are not argentinean if you didn't grow up watching Zorro at noon while having lunch (or run from school to catch it before it ended). It is still being broadcasted today (in 2023) believe it or not!
Follow the adventures of Diego de la Vega, a señorito (very delicated gentleman) that during the nights turns into El Zorro, a vigilante that rights injustices and saves the people of Los Angeles.
LOVE IT. Guy Williams is Zorro, no-one will ever be better than him. It's fun for the whole family (and do not be fooled by the time it was made, the female characters are well written and very progressive for the time being). Saw it on TV over and over and over again and never got tired of it.
1959 - The Three Stooges (year they began to be televised)
How could I forget about my childhood heroes?
My first contact with slapstick comedy and absurdities galore.
In this house we believe in Moe, Larry, Curly & Shemp supremacy!!
1961 - Mr. Ed.
Ever wondered how it would be to live with a talking horse? Well, now you'll know.
Fun for all family, catchy title song... you can see it probably in lots of places because it's a classic (but for me it was on a bootleg DVD pack)
1964 - The Addams Family
We all know and grew up with The Addams Family movies in the 90's but this is the original live-action (with Gorey's insight). The family canon is different: Mom is Gomez's mother, Fester is Morticia's uncle and my favourite (yet always forgotten in the new media) is Ophelia, Morticia's twin sister -who was supposed to marry Gomez in first place-.
To be fair I saw it a couple of years ago so I don't remember too much, but its all-family-fun and if you are a spooky-inclined person (such as me) you'll end up wanting to own a house like theirs (and maybe some of their creatures as well). I saw it on bootleg DVDs, shhh... don't tell anyone.
1965 - Get Smart
Another argentinean staple (not as strong as Zorro, though) was this spy-comedy born out of mocking James Bond with gadgets and all. "Smart, Maxwell Smart. Agent 86" carved himself a space in our hearts with Agent 99, the Chief, agent K-9, Jaime and the equitative incompetent villain Siegfried.
Super fun with all the weird and borderline ridiculous inventions and plots. It sort of loses its momentum in the final seasons (when Max and the 99 get married and have twins) but there are still moments of greatness. I have all the DVDs, original ones this time.
1967 - Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons
In Argentina we use the expression "wooden actor/actress" a lot... but in this case it's probably right because they are all puppets (unless they do a close up of their hands, then they are human 😱).
Follow this colour-coded crew of space travellers and their adventures. I don't fully remember if it was a concept or if it actually happens in the show but maybe Captain Scarlet doesn't make it to the end of the day. Very early Aeon Flux from his part. Be like me buying a bootleg DVD collection or you can probably find it on Youtube.
1971 - The Persuaders!
Who on this Earth hates either Roger Moore or Tony Curtis? I'm ready to throw hands!
Two millonaires (with lots of monetary issues aparently) have to work together for a Judge solving different crimes (identity theft, kidnappings, robberies, etc). It is never quite explained why both of them are the right ones to do the job but no-one cares because you'll end up loving Lord Brett Sinclair (Moore) and his love-hate relationship with Danny Wilde (Curtis) plagued with sarcasm but, eventually, true friendship.
I'm a Danny Wilde kinda girl (and I would like to have like half of his jackets, they are awesome) but Moore is also lovable. Yes, most of the cases have a beautiful girl that ends up with any of them... yes, some things are a little too convenient... but it is a show to have a good time. Don't think too hard about it. I've watched it on bootleg DVD but it is also on Youtube.
1973 - El Chavo del 8 & El Chapulín Colorado (The Kid from the 8th and The Red Cricket)
Both shows were aired pretty much at the same time and starred by the same cast the first one tells the story of a orphan kid that lives in a vicinity with very colourful characters.
The second one is the Mexican Superhero by excellence.
Chespirito (a wordplay for the Spanish "Little Shakespeare" -Shakespeare chiquito-) AKA Roberto Gomez Bolaños -author and lead in both shows- even said that his superheroe was better than the ones from Marvel or DC because he didn't needed muscles... he just wanted to do good and had big heart.
1976 - Charlie's Angels
I really don't understand why is it so hard for the movies to get it right. They were private investigators, not super-spies!!
3 girls became cops but were destined to "girl jobs" like secretary, school crossing and making parking tickets... but were recruited by the misterious Charlie that knows that they are capable of more so now they work solving cases where the police can't or won't be called.
We only own the first season on bootleg DVD (my mom's and aunt's favourite with the three original angels). It's fun and it's for everybody.
1976 - The Bionic Woman
Jamie Sommers (professional tennis player and Steve Austin's finceé) has a skydiving accident resulting in her getting bionic replacements of her legs, arm and ear. Since the equipment was very expensive (not like Steve's six million dollars bionic parts) she agrees to use it to help the goverment in dangerous missions. In the meantime she'll keep on working as a teacher.
Adventures of all kinds and the most memorable ones are with the fembots (altough many people like the Sasquatch episode, who knows why 🤷🏻♀️). Saw it on bootleg DVD.
1976 - Wonder Woman
Really? Wonder Woman? Lynda Carter? Do I need to explain anything? Just go watch it. (I saw in on bootleg DVD, shhh! Mrs. Carter is nearby, I don't want her to get upset).
1976 - The Muppets
Do they need introduction? Guest stars in every episode, humor, music and Ms. Piggy. You just can't hate Jim Hensons' creatures.
I have the first season on bootleg DVD but saw quite a few scenes on Youtube and social media as well.
1977 - The Incredible Hulk.
Bill Bixby + Lou Ferrigno + weekly adventures + that bloody journalist that follows them everywhere (and you will recognize as the bartender in Back to the Future III) to try and caught them red handed + the saddest end to every episode seeing poor Bruce Banner with his backpack walking to another town because he can never stay on the same place for too long = this early Marvel property that gave us a sneek peek into the complicated life of a superhero.
It's good, a problem-of-the-week show, but then again... poor Bruce Banner always alone, I want to cry 😭 Saw it on TV, I don't think that all episodes were aired back then nor when my mom and aunts were little.
1978 - Mork & Mindy
An alien that looks and acts like Robin Williams ends up living with the human Mindy to learn more about us. By the end of every episode Mork gives his report about what he learned about Humanity and it's usually very uplifting.
I've watched a few episodes on TV (this was Argentina in the '90s, you were lucky if any TV channel bought 2 seasons of any show to repeat ad eternum).
Nanu nanu!!

📚 July Reading Wrap-Up 📚

Nora Goes Off Script - Annabel Monaghan

📚 TBR: The Weaver & The Witch Queen by Genevieve Gornichec that I purchased @ The Bookworm in Edwards, CO today.
🫧 A Bookish Journal Entry 📖
🫧 July 2023 has been a wild month! Truly, I don't think I've ever read this much in my life. But, it's a lovely hobby that's been helping me get through all the stress of traveling, work, toddler parenting/potty training, my husbands deployment, my pregnancy, etc! Prioritizing a little bit of escapism/quiet time in my life outside of my responsibilities helps me feel refreshed. Actually, it helps me feel alive. Sinking into a story for a few days feels so much better than mindlessly scrolling through social media during restful moments. I can actually hear myself think. I can sort out my emotions with a little more clarity. These are my beneficial side effects of my experiment in becoming a summer reader.
🫧 Also! I'd say 4 of these books were borrowed from my local library and/or the Libby App, one was a copy I had around the house, another a copy I borrowed from my mom. So, truthfully, reading has been a rather inexpensive hobby for me this month. It's nice to know I haven't been splurging on the things I usually would (furniture, craft supplies, and sundresses seem to be my kryptonite). I love that though. I love that when I do go to the bookstore to purchase a new release, it feels like a treat. I love that when I return a library book I really enjoyed, I feel like I'm sharing the experience with my community ~ like somebody has loved this too, & someone else will come across it for the first time, like I did, and we will have that little memory in common, though we may never cross paths. That feels really beautiful to me!
🫧 This month, I read my first 2 Silvia Moreno-Garcia books and I fell in LOVE with them. Her stories are insane and magical and perfect and all-consuming. Those and Midnight at the Tuscany Hotel were positively masterpieces. As was The Diamond Eye I listened to as an audiobook. A thrilling, captivating work of historical fiction. I also added in a few romance books. One was a silly audiobook written by Annabel Monaghan that got me through a complicated week of chores and working and travel preparations, and the other was a precious Christian romance beach read by Denise Hunter that actually warmed my heart. Romance books without the 🌶 are definitely more my speed, I bashfully admit.
🫧 July was a lot. It was wonderful and heart wrenching. It was easy and very, very hard. I'm so excited for the rest of the year ahead. For the stories I've yet to crack open and for the ones I'm about to create for myself. I'm excited to find magic in everything, I'm excited to give my children a world of adventure, stories, magic, learning, acceptance, coziness, hope, faith, & goodness.
🫧 I wasn't expecting so much passion for life/books to come over me after a short visit to Barnes & Nobel with my mom and daughter in May of this year - but visiting a gorgeous bookshop cafe in a little mountain town today with them, it all came full circle.

I wish I wrote down or remembered when I stickered my car's rear window; it's definitely been at least 2 years. My other (non-Schlady) stickers have been chipping and peeling so I finally scraped them off today. But dang, look who's surviving - no cracking, shrinking, peeling, or noticeable fading from any of my Schlady hexies, even after at least two years outside in the intense Colorado sun, heat, cold, and snow! ⭐

LUNA SOL Drop Bombshell Heavy Stoner-Blues Rocker ‘Vita Mors’
~Doomed & Stoned Debuts~
By Billy Goate
Ladies and germs, please put your filthy hands together for the kings of the high desert heavy blues... This is LUNA SOL a band drawn from the high mountain country of Colorado and Kentucky, existing with no doubt for the pure love of rock 'n' roll. And a very specific breed of it, with a bluesy, bittersweet, and darkly-hued dive bar vibe and a warm, driving rhythmic underbelly that brings comfort to misery and has a way of lifting the spirits.
"The personal struggles and joys we’ve shared through making this album highlighted that at the end of the day life is good," says Hermano guitarist David Angstrom, who has fronted the band since 2012, "and each day is a reward that we need to cherish and take in."
'Vita Mors' (2024) is their third LP, releasing tomorrow on Ripple Music -- a big album with a big, thumping heartbeat. When I say big, I mean 13 tracks worth of stirring, soulful, foot-stomping rock, with real lyrics about real shit.
Joining the core of the band (which also includes Zeth Pedulla/drums and Doug Tackett/bass) are members of Black Stone Cherry, Kingfish, Hermano, Disengage, and Supafuzz, along with Luna Sol friends and family. There's a vibrancy about these various collaborations on tracks throughout the album that comes through from the get-go with "Black Cat Callin'" -- a stage-storming evolution of blues, soul, and rock influences spanning decades.
The genre of rock 'n' roll is proving enduring, even if it seems to go "underground" in the popular culture from time to time. Tracks like "Head in a Hole" cannot help but raise hell in any generation (you'll hear many of those friends and family in the chorus, I suspect). Luna Sol's music does the trick, thanks to a good infusion of '70s guitar-driven axe-wielding with a swampy, southern-desert twist (check out 1:52 on "Never In My Life" and the deadly riffage of "Freelance Friend").
There is some balance with the moody "Low 'n Easy," which reminds me fondly of Jerry Cantrell's Degradation Trip in its dour, grungy mix. "I've been wrong, I've been right. Some will say...I bite." The vocals are jaded and mellow throughout which is a nice contrast to the slithering rhythm, piercing tap tap of the drums, and a downtuned guitar and bass.
Speaking of downtuned, "Surrounded by Thieves" begins as an amp-worshipping gem, and you can tell the band is having fun with it, too. This may be my favorite of the record, just for how effectively pedal effects are used to shape the atmosphere of the song. The riff on this one is gnarly a.f. "Let's go drink in the sun, let's go drown in the moonlight, and live life on the run." The vocals really bring out the lyrics' rebellious intent.
"No Substitutions" is as heavy as Rage Against The Machine, but turns the guitars in a bluesier direction. The sway of the rhythm is driven and rollicking. Luna Sol play with conviction, in a way that can't help but pull you away with the tide, if you've got on a good pair of headphones especially.
There's a near 22-minute bonus track which was a refreshing capstone to what has been a hard-driving album.
Look for Luna Sol's Vita Mors releases Friday, September 20th on Ripple Music on vinyl, compact disc, and digital formats (get it here).
Stick it on a playlist with Creedence Clearwater Revival, Clutch, Corrosion of Conformity, Brant Bjork, and Old Blood.
Give ear...
Ripple Music · Luna Sol - Vita Mors
SOME BUZZ
LUNA SOL is a highly regarded high mountain stoner blues rock band led by veteran singer and lead guitarist David Angstrom, known for his work in bands such as Hermano, Asylum On The Hill, Black Cat Bone and Supafuzz. Now in its 14th year, the band is poised to deliver its finest album yet through Californian imprint Ripple Music.
To bring this vision to life, Angstrom enlisted the help of drummer Zeth Pedulla and bassist Doug Tackett. The trio's chemistry was immediate and undeniable. As the riffs began to flow, songs came to life and they decided to hit record to capture the beautiful heaviness they were creating together. From the onset, they all wanted "Vita Mors" to feel and sound live, pulling the listener into a small dive bar nestled in the mountains and filled with Marshall stacks, Les Pauls, a massive amount of drums and a wall of bass amps to shake the foundation.
Vita Mors by Luna Sol
"Vita Mors" highlights Angstrom's desire to evolve and explore new musical territory while staying true to his Southern Kentucky roots. Doug and Zeth create beautiful layers of fury in one breath while offering a divine delicacy in the next, a perfect foundation for Angstrom’s madness, stories, riffs and noise. It was recorded in Dave Angstrom’s home studio in the foothills of the Rocky Mountain, mixed and mastered by Jason Groves (Supafuzz/Asylum On The Hill alumni) and assisted by Ty Tabor (King’s X).

“ I hadn’t gone after her because it was the right thing to do. I’d gone after her because I couldn’t bear the thought of her not existing. I didn’t deserve an ounce of her hero worship, not when my motive was pure terror. I wasn’t anyone’s hero.”

I am excited to share with you today an interview I had with author Angela Sylvaine, or as she likes to call herself, The Cheerful Goth! I recently read and reviewed her newest collection, The Dead…
