pickThis was a really fun book to read! It's the 1920s, and Frankie Pratt wants to be a writer. Using her dad's Corona typewriter, she makes a scrapbook to tell her story.
This is a very short book, since there's not much writing on each page, but it's so much fun to look at all of the vintage decorations on each page!
Hurricane day reading.
pickWhat a cool book! It‘s equal parts biography/memoir, scrapbook and art journal and tells the story of Doris Eaton, who started in show business very young with her siblings and went on to live a long and fascinating life! At the time this was written she was 102 and she passed away in 2010 at the age of 106. Highly recommended to anyone interested in history, the theater and Old Hollywood. 5⭐️

pick3.5 ⭐️: This book is a unique book told via scrapbook style with a variety of real-life, context appropriate ephemera. While the story is surface-level and errs on the side of expected cliches, the unique format makes it an enjoyable and quick read. It would be an interesting gift for someone who loves scrapbooking/journaling and books with a touch of historical fiction. Full review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/6001570768
