The Dressmaker | 
I learned about the Senate hearings on the White Star ineptitude. Never ever thought about it. So interesting. And learned about the Duff Gordons. What really happened on that lifeboat? I was glued to the text from the first page.
panUnfortunately bland. Nothing really drew me in-- the romance, Titanic drama, designer drama. Tess is bland as can be. Barely any if the characters have depth or development.
Kicking off the weekend & hopefully breaking my reading slump.
so-soI wanted to love this book since I love historical fiction, fashion, and the Titanic, but it had a tendency to drag on. I forced myself to move forward as I hate bailing on a novel. It did receive good reviews elsewhere, so maybe it was just me.
pickAn intimate look at surviving the Titanic. Some romance, but more about growing into who you are & your possibilities.
pickVery good. Enjoyed from start to finish. Liked the fact most of the main characters were based on real people gave it a bit of realism to the story. Recommend.📖📚

I'm really trying to like this book but it's just not grabbing me. It should be, given the fact that it's historical fiction and about the Titanic -2 subjects I love. Hoping it improves...
My favorite moment of the day? I'm reading in my daughter's room while she plays, suddenly I feel a little nudge and she appears next to me with her own book. She's since gotten up and down twice to get different books, but always comes back. Just warmed my heart. 💕💕📚😍

pickI really enjoyed this book. Whenever I found time to read it, I didn't want to put it down. At least until the last 30 pages or so. The ending felt a bit rushed and bits of it didn't really feel resolved to me. But I love Titanic stories. I just wish there were more of them.
Historical fiction AND working with fabrics! What more can you ask for in a book...great read in books, kindle, and on Audible.
