Good. Shows some insight into the films that made her famous as well as telling her life story. The first few chapters were hard to read as she came off brash but I stuck with it and it got better.

This is becoming freaky now! I read the lost passenger on the week of the anniversary of the Titanic (even heard some of the film score on the radio as I was reading it) and now I am reading Conclave on the week the pope dies. Not done purposely but it's just so weird that it has happened like this!!😲🤔

Has this happened to anyone else?

Bookbuyingaddict The conclave film 🎥 was excellent 👌 really recommend it 😊 1w

Very good. Full of historical detail and drama. Follows a young woman and her child who takes on a new persona when tragedy happens on the Titanic. Heartbreaking at times but also hopeful

Good. Very informative and impressive but also important to women to read because it shows how we have evolved. The chapters are done in a clever way as they take an aspect of a woman's life/body function and tell the evolution of that rather than just chapter 1,2 etc. Even though I enjoyed it and it was mainly very readable sometimes I did get bogged down in the scientific language at times.

Good. Nice romantic story. Nice to catch up with characters from the first book. Also I like how they set up the next story/book in the series.

Very good. Follows Helena Rubinstein and Elizabeth Arden and their quest for dominance of the beauty industry. Full of historical detail and drama. Even though I had heard of Elizabeth Arden before I didn't know much but this book has filled in some of my knowledge of her.

Good. I listened to the audiobook version of this. This was performed by three different women which added to the story and made it come alive and you could tell the difference between them. Follows three generations of Weyward women and their lives. Full of magic and nature.

Got the signed book box option from Tea leaves and Reads bookshop (see link above). Bag pictures are the back and front.

CSeydel I like that even though the link is apparently to “Atmosphere” by Taylor Jenkins Reid it does in fact lead to the Story of a Murder book page (edited) 1mo

Nice little book which has come out at the right moment for me as I am currently on Maternity leave for having twin girls. Given me the hope and support that I needed as I have been struggling some days even though my partner is very supportive this has spoken to me and made me realise that I am not the only struggling as many women don't like to admit it because they feel like they have to be perfect all the time.

TheBookHippie I tell every young mom I‘ve ever mentored there were days that were so hard I thought I was a complete failure and days I actually loathed motherhood. Anytime I say or write this I get all kinds of hatred. I think all emotions need to be said, and felt ..Congratulations on your daughters ! How lovely to have such light enter your worlds. ♥️♥️ I hope the transition out of leave goes well. 1mo
Birdsong28 @TheBookHippie Thank you for sharing your experience. It is such a hard time and many people just gloss over the hard bits but I think it's a story that needs to be told as it's better to tell the truth of it so that people realise that the hard times and feelings are valid as when you hear about other people having the same experience you feel better and realise that it's ok and not to be considered shameful to feel this way. 1mo
Birdsong28 @TheBookHippie Thank you for the congratulations and thank you for the well wishes on my transition out of leave. 1mo

TheBookHippie @Birdsong28 it‘s so very very important. I was a volunteer Doula for teen moms for 28 years. I told the truth and I maintain it saved lives. I also taught them when it gets too much put the baby in the car seat strap them in and put them in the crib and call me. We had a system. A lot of it sounds a bit wacky /but motherhood is hard. Saying it isn‘t is lying to yourself. IMO. 1mo
julesG @TheBookHippie You're a treasure!!! 💕💕 1mo
julesG Congratulations on being a new mum to twins! It's certainly double the joy, but also doubly hard. Being a mum, especially being a new mother, is hard. It can feel lonely sometimes. It overwhelmes you sometimes. And I wanted to run away from it all so many times. I'm not going to pretend it gets a lot easier, it gets easier though. They grow, become independent and you get some independence back. But, I've been a mum for 19.66 years now 😉 and ⬇️ 1mo
julesG I still worry about them and question decisions I made about my children years ago. That's something I wish I could do without since I can't change the past. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 1mo

Birdsong28 @julesG Thank you for the congratulations and thank you for your story it helps to know that other people have gone through it and come out the other side. Thank you for the offer to vent it's good to know that there is support out there ❤️. 1mo

Good. Story about two people trying to get a job writing an old socialite's biography. The old socialite gives me Evelyn Hugo vibes which I enjoyed. I enjoyed this book incredibly but it felt like I was taken out of the story when you were being told the socialite's story which jarred a little bit for me. Thank you #PenquinRandomHouse for the free copy via #Netgalley.
