A Nice Pair: Mariah Carey

It’s Sunday, it’s the holidays and today it’s time for a Christmas edition of A Nice Pair! But before we kick things off, we want to remind you that we’re open today until 4 pm, tomorrow from 11-5 and Tuesday from 11-3.

Today we’re pairing the iconic album Merry Christmas by Mariah Carey (a.k.a. The Queen of Christmas) with her autobiography, The Meaning of Mariah.

Mariah Carey’s Merry Christmas album, originally released on October 28, 1994, is a beloved holiday classic. This was her first Christmas album and features a mix of traditional Christmas songs and original tracks. The standout hit, All I Want for Christmas Is You, has become a seasonal favourite and is one of the best-selling Christmas songs of all time. Mariah’s powerful vocals and the festive, joyful vibe of the album have made it a staple in many holiday playlists.

Her autobiography, The Meaning of Mariah Carey, is a heartfelt and candid memoir that delves into her life, career, and personal struggles. Mariah shares her journey from a challenging childhood to becoming one of the most iconic singers of all time. She opens up about her rise to fame, her high-profile relationships, and her public breakdown in 2001. The book also highlights her resilience and determination to overcome obstacles, as well as her enduring love for music and her fans. We have a couple of copies currently in stock and they’re Backbeat Bargain Books – brand new books priced under $10.)

If we don’t see you before then, we wish you all a happy, peaceful and safe holiday season!
