I reacted pretty abruptly to the bombshell news dropped in Sum 41’s Deryck Whibley’s first memoir, Walking Disaster: My Life Through Heaven and Hell back when we first got our copy, but didn’t really get a chance to talk about the rest of the book while I let myself process it.

I’d been meaning to start doing this some time ago but as it always happens, something else took priority. The Bookshelf will be book recommendations based on what I’m reading or have read before, kind of like how at Chapters-Indigo, there’s … Continue reading The Bookshelf: Andrew McMahon -Three Piano’s
