Thank you @EadieB for this book! It was excellent. Anna tells the story of her time as private nurse to Zelda Fitzgerald. She witnesses the tragic unfolding of Zelda and Scott's life together. Anna has experienced loss in her life and becomes a friend to Zelda.

EadieB @Crazeedi I don‘t remember sending that one to you! 3y

Crazeedi @EadieB yep, there was a note inside from paperbackswap! It says merry Christmas from Eadie!! I really enjoyed it 3y

EadieB @Crazeedi Oh yes! I had someone send it to you! Glad you enjoyed it! (edited) 3y

Crazeedi @sharread I'm getting my act together again! Thank you for caring 💗💗 3y

I didn‘t really like this book but it made for a good #LMPBC discussion. @Linsy this is coming your way.

I also used this book for #OutstandingOctober #Scarathalon2020 #TeamSlaughter and #BookspinBingo

TheAromaofBooks I was telling someone the other day that sometimes the #LMPBC books that no one really likes are my favorites because everyone gripes about them as we go... it almost makes me want to set up a group where everyone choses a book that they think is going to annoy them. Not like FILL THEM WITH RAGE, just that “What!? Why?!“ kind of reading! 😂 4y

Bookwormjillk @TheAromaofBooks it‘s so true! The main character here really annoyed me and it was nice that she had already annoyed the person before me! 4y

Andrew65 That‘s great 👏👏👏🍾🥂🥳 Thanks for playing along. 😊 4y

shadowspeak17 @Bookwormjillk Oh man, I wish I could read your comments. 😂 I always feel kind of bad when I criticize an lmpbc book, but it really can lead to some good discussions. 4y

Bookwormjillk @shadowspeak17 mostly agreeing with your comments! 4y

Meh, this was okay. I just found it kind of bland and wish there‘d been more to it than there actually was.

I‘m planning to mail this sometime this week @bookwormjillk. I‘ll let you know when it‘s on the way. Fingers and toes crossed it doesn‘t get lost in the mail. 😬🤞🏽

Still no updates on the lost package 😩 but the replacement got here today... At least I hope it was today. The Amazon delivery driver decided to leave it in the stairwell instead of at my door, so I didn‘t know it was there until I went out this afternoon. 🙄🙃😒 But anyway, it‘s here now. I‘ll get started on it soon. 😊

I like this so much better than Robuck‘s Hemingway novel. Maybe Cause I don‘t like Hemingway and love Zelda.

I quite enjoyed this story about Zelda Fitzgerald and her nurse, Anna. It‘s made me want to learn more about the Fitzgeralds and read more of his books. Flawed or not, they were very interesting people. 4⭐️I‘m glad I picked this for #LMPBC and I hope you guys will like it! I‘ll have it in the mail this afternoon.

Also, I received your book @Linsy this week and look forward to reading it! 🤗

JenlovesJT47 @Linsy @Bookwormjillk @shadowspeak17 Hey could one of you please send me the email with the addresses for LMPBC? I‘ve been locked out of that email for over a month 😑 please send it to my other email rltranscriptionist@yahoo.com 4y

shadowspeak17 Just emailed you :) 4y

JenlovesJT47 @shadowspeak17 I think I‘m just going to order a new copy of this from amazon and have it shipped directly to you. Does that sound good? 4y

shadowspeak17 @JenlovesJT47 Yeah, that‘s fine. I talked to someone at the post office the other day and they did not give me much confidence in their ability to locate missing mail... 😩 4y

JenlovesJT47 @shadowspeak17 ok going to order it now. It‘s $16 from amazon which is too high imo but there‘s a gently used copy for $6 that also ships from prime, will send it your way! 4y

shadowspeak17 @JenlovesJT47 Okay, sounds good! I‘ll let you know when it gets here. 4y

I‘m sorry for the delay to my #LMPBC peeps! Here are some choices for my next pick. Which one would you prefer? @shadowspeak17 @Bookwormjillk @Linsy

Also, thank you so much Linsy for the adorable Dr. Seuss stickers you sent back with my book. They will definitely be put to good use! I‘m sorry for not mentioning it sooner. I got it right around time we moved and totally forgot to post it. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤗

Bookwormjillk Any would be fine by me! 4y

shadowspeak17 I think Call Me Zelda would be my top pick, but I‘m good with any of them. 😊 4y

JenlovesJT47 @Bookwormjillk @Linsy @shadowspeak17 Zelda would be my first choice as well, is everyone ok with that? I‘m going to read it this weekend and mail it out early next week! 4y

Bookwormjillk @JenlovesJT47 sounds good! 4y

Linsy No worries! I'm just saw this post!! Sorry I'm so slow. I got swamped and forgot to check my tags. Glad you liked them 😊 4y

Definitely an enjoyable quick read!! Focused on the latter part of Zelda's life. While I would have loved to know more about the earlier parts of their lives together, this was a wonderful read! Definitely going to look into more books on Zelda Fitzgerald for sure now!

The last couple of chapters made my eyes water a little bit. Pretty good book with a great message about the power of friendship.

Had to blitz through this one at work today in time for book club 😀
It was more or less fine but my biggest issue was that I didn't get enough of a sense of the '30s setting.
