Today when I arrived at work I had three new books waiting for me. Elvis and Me, the Priscilla biography that I had at one time swore I would never read, Child Bride by Suzanne Finstad who apparently puts Priscilla in a pretty bad light, (I already have Priscilla in a pretty bad light so no big leap there) and Elvis, In the Twilight of Memory by June Juanico.
I needed these books to continue my evolving series on the Women in Elvis’s Life and so my reading time over the next few weeks will be pretty much involved in finishing these three books. I had finished the June Juanico portion of the series but may have to update or edit it after I’ve read her book. I’ll read that one first.
I’ve been trying to get through The Colonel by Alanna Nash but am really struggling with it. Since I completely despise this man it’s very hard for me to continue to read about his crooked and near criminal activities. I haven’t even got to the part where he takes over and destroys Elvis’s career. I will finish it though as I always finish my Elvis books. The good, bad and the ugly ones. This is one of the ugly ones so it will take some time for me to finish. It’s on hold now for a bit until I finish the ones mentioned above. I also have several others on order so it may be awhile before I get back to The Colonel. Maybe by then my hate for him will have lost some of it’s edge.
If you haven’t already, check out my books section where you can see which books I’ve already purchased and read. If you’re interested at all in reading about Elvis I strongly recommend The Last Train to Memphis and Elvis and Gladys. Both of those books will give you such a complete picture of who Elvis really was.
Until next time…
