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.

Did I just now finish the #SundayBuddyRead from November 2024? Yes indeed. There is nothing earth shattering in this and she feels like an unreliable narrator at times. Meh. @TheBookHippie

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 ⬇️

DebinHawaii …on her later relationships and life after acting, but all-in-all, it was a great escape read and pick for February. 3d
kspenmoll Great review! It was a wonderful read for this month! 3d

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 ! 🤗

TheBookHippie I love it so much. 3d
TorieStorieS The fairy castle has been my favorite part of the Museum of Science and Industry for my whole life! They used to have payphone style phones where you listened to the details, but now it plays in a less germy way hahaha! 12h
JenlovesJT47 @TorieStorieS I feel like a bad fan because I have never heard of this before reading this book! I love Old Hollywood but don‘t know as much about the silent era. This book was really good and I‘d highly recommend it if you haven‘t read it! Here‘s a book about the dollhouse https://annas-archive.org/md5/7f02c721d5baaae35b9f2655b6538a10 6h
TorieStorieS I listened to this one already, my book twin! But I grew up with this castle so I think I expected more magic!! 2h

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.
