Thank you, @TheBookHippie for choosing this one. A book I wouldn‘t have picked up on my own but one I‘m happy I read. Reading with this group makes me happy.

A fictional story about Colleen Moore, an actress in the early 1900s, who sponsored an incredible fairy castle dollhouse at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. I saw this dollhouse on many trips to the museum, as every year there was a field trip from school, and my parents took us kids there at least a couple of times a year. I loved it and probably still would if I got there again. Maybe it would still make me feel like a princess! ⬇️

Read for #SundayBuddyRead I‘m a classic movie & old Hollywood buff & so this novel based on a real-life actress & star of the silent screen (Colleen Moore) was right up my alley. I didn‘t know much about her as an actress or the castle dollhouse she built for charity that still sits in the Griffin Museum in Chicago. The book has lots of personal & relationship drama & Hollywood tea that kept me entertained. I would have loved more ⬇️

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this for the #SundayBuddyRead - I‘m a big fan of Old Hollywood but don‘t know as much about the silent era, so this opened up a whole new world for me. It‘s based on a real silent movie star (Colleen Moore) which makes it even better. Would love to go visit her fairy castle in Chicago one day. 4.5⭐️ Thanks for hosting @TheBookHippie ! 🤗

This might be a low pick for me but I think it's my general mood and not the book here. Getting a non blurry photo while standing on the T (subway train) was a struggle.

#sundaybuddyread historical fiction about the early days of the movies transitioning to talkies, based on the life of Colleen Moore. I don‘t know why I couldn‘t get into this, I‘m not sure I‘d have finished it without the group. Maybe the movie theme again, maybe the waste and abuse of power? Right at the end the museum curator says she wants to show Doreen‘s movies in another exhibit as a tie in but most of them are gone. The type of film ⬇️

A slow meander through a fictional look at the start of Hollywood, with a sprinkling of nostalgia for the silent film industry. Doreen O‘Dare is the fictionalized portrayal of Colleen Moore, a silent film actress and the creator of the Fairy Castle. Reading this book makes me want to watch silent films! A good choice for #SundayBuddyRead .

I am captivated when one book I am reading connects to another! #sundaybuddyread

I have been way behind in reading this book- catching up for the end of the month. So far it feels breezy & easy. Coffee warmed stroopwafel -hum!

My #Chatterday Saturday started with errands & now I‘m at the coffeeshop to finish writing a manager coaching workshop I am delivering next week. My computer was having issues when I got here & I was hoping it was the universe telling me not to work & to read for #SundayBuddyRead instead, but alas I got it going & now I must focus on getting my work done & catch up with reading & Litsy later. 😬

Hope all your Saturdays/weekends are going well!💛

This may be the fastest all five #WickedWords have shown up in my reading.

I am what you might consider "chronically online," I live in the US, and frankly, I'm losing my ?. I need to relax, so I'm going to do #hyggehourreadathon on Mountain Time instead of my usually Eastern time zone. I have a Balsam & Cedar candle burning to bring a little of the outside in, I have a sleepy puppy just settled in for a nap, and a #sundaybuddyread read book to get started on.
