Fantasy is my favorite because it let's me be somewhere magical, a place that is open to the impossible!
For an enticing read its usually the cover art that does it for me.

Sorry a little late posting, but discussion questions are now up! You‘ll find them on my feed as spoilers, or just search under the title or by #LiteraryCrew .

Mother and daughter relationships factor strongly into this novel. Vera‘s complicated relationship with her mother undergoes a major shift through the course of the story. What do you think accounts for this change? How is Vera‘s relationship with her mother different from Vera‘s relationship with Hannah? From Reading Guide #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead
5. When she was a young girl, Vera‘s father was brutally murdered by the Black Hand Gang, a deadly extortionist group that gave way to the Mafia after it was disbanded in the early twentieth century. How did the murder of her father influence Vera‘s life? From Reading Guide #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead
4. From the opening of the novel till the end, Vera undergoes a transformation. What do you think caused her to shed her frivolous facade? From Reading Guide #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead
3. Aside from the obvious bond between Vera and Evelyn, what other characters in the novel share an equally strong connection? From Reading Guide #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead
2. Friendship and loyalty are strong themes in Dollface. Is there a difference between friendship and loyalty, or do you see them as the same? From Reading Guide #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead
1. The Jazz Age was a time of prosperity and wild abandon. There was a lot of experimentation, sexual expression, and new independence for women. What is it about this period that intrigues people? From Reading Guide #LiteraryCrew #BuddyRead
panI almost bailed on this multiple times and ended up skimming a lot. The kiddo was the ONLY likable character. I understand it takes a good writer to write unlikable characters but it‘s not my jam. Also being a mom, I can‘t imagine making the choices Vera made. Selfish twat. #literarycrew @Librarybelle
Over under on how long before the kiddo is up and melting down? Last night was 3 hrs.
Yet another viral lung infection :(

I finished this book today. Vera made me mad the whole way through! A good book, and I think very much close to what it was like in prohibition Chicago
pickVera wants more from life than she had growing up, and is enticed into the glamorous life of excess when she starts hanging out with mobsters. It's the 1920's Prohibition Era, but bootlegging, whiskey, and speakeasies are in full swing. #LiteraryCrew @Librarybelle
pickI really loved Vera's character arc! She had some childlish dreams and she was so naive first but I could still relate to her and I loved to follow how she ended up being so much wiser. I also loved the atmosphere: this era was so fascinating.
This was pleasurable buddyread with #LiteraryCrew, that made me smile #Adventathon

pickDoing a buddy read for this title with @Librarybelle and truly enjoyed this one. The author really drew me into the time period with the vocabulary she used and the characters she drafted. Highly recommend this one. #wintercosy @PuddleJumper

Had a great time closing down the Barnes and a noble with my sister and bestie after book group last night. I still had Christmas cash plus a gift card from my parents so I went a little crazy. Yes, that‘s 2 bullet journals on top of the pile. The “official†one and one that was cheaper. I‘m going to continue to use the one I started while I figure out what I‘m doing. But if you knew how I go through notebooks and paper, this won‘t shock you. 🤣

Today‘s Prompt: Rich
Another Rene Rosen GEM.
It's the Roaring 20's.
Prohibition, speakeasies, gangsters, the rich and the poor. DOLLFACE portrays the life of those living in Chicago during this time. No one was exempt from what was going on.
You will love following Vera from rags to riches and then through a rough time, but Vera was tough.

TODAY'S PROMPT: Time/Clock
A clock reminds me of a time in history that I enjoy - the Roaring 20's.
DOLLFACE portrays this era perfectly. Ms. Rosen's books are always enjoyable.

Bought this on a whim at Barnes and Noble off their bargain table. It's been on my TBR shelf ever since. I'll get to it eventually. 😉🾠#SetInThe1920s #MarchIntoReading @RealLifeReading
Day 20 - #favoritecover - as a huge fan of the Roaring Twenties, this book cover just jumped out at me. I bought it after barely skimming the blurb and really enjoyed it. I was transported back in time. I'm a sucker for pretty book covers! #riotgrams #roaringtwenties #flapper
Started this today. Two chapters in and so far I like it. This was one of my "Andermatch's" from the fall.
Lol #forcedcatpic I put the books by her on the bed she hissed and moved to the chair and I put the books by her again. I love this hissy ole' lady cat â¤ï¸ This is my TBR/in progress/library haul/ books I just pulled out cuz I may not be able to renew pile. Dollface is partly set here in Chicago and has a sassy female lead character, been renewing it forever now finally there is a hold on it. Damn. I seriously stress out about this stuff. 🙄🙀🤓
Prohibition era historical fiction- a light, fun beach read.
