Gerard Way has been the lead singer of rock group My Chemical Romance for 12 years...until this past weekend. Much to the sadness of their many fans (including me), My Chemical Romance announced they were breaking up. My Chemical Romance has produced many hit songs from four studio albums including "I'm Not Okay," "The Ghost of You," "Welcome to the Black Parade," "NaNaNaNaNaNa," and "Sing." My Chemical Romance also recently released two songs each month for five months from what they called the Conventional Weapons sessions. Gerard Way is also an author. He has written a comic novel series titled The Umbrella Academy. He is also featured with Joss Whedon in MySpace Dark Horse Presentscollections. What is Gerard Way reading to his daughter? Gerard tweeted a few days ago, "We've had Chu's Day for 2 weeks and Bandit asks for it every night! Thank you, sir. @neilhimself." Chu's Day is the newest picture book written by Neil Gaiman and illustrated by Adam Rex. Here's one of my favorite MCR songs, "Famous Last Words." You can follow Gerard on Twitter.

If you have children, you surely recognize Anthony Field as the blue Wiggle of the popular Australian children's music group the Wiggles that aired on Disney channel for many years and currently airs on other television channels. My children loved the show, and I was even front row at a Wiggles concert with my daughter in 2006. The Wiggles have sold more than 30 million DVDs and CDs worldwide. After 21 years, the Wiggles continue to tour, but now with a new group of four, including Anthony, Emma Watkins, Lachlan Gillespie, and Simon Pryce.
The four original members of the Wiggles had the honor of being appointed Members in the Order of Australia for their service to the arts in Australia and for their contributions to charities in 2010. Anthony hosts the Australian reality television series RSPCA Animal Rescue as well.
Field also penned an autobiography detailing how he overcame depression, illness and chronic pain to get his
life back. "How I Got My Wiggle Back" was released in 2012.
What is Anthony Field's book recommendation?
I recently asked Anthony about his favorite book.
Anthony tweeted, "My fave book is a spiritual book,"The Broken Body" by Jean Vanier. It helps this broken man cope!. A reflective read!"
He added, "I take that book everywhere with me, read a few paragraphs here and there, beautiful."
Thank you, Anthony!
