Theirs is undoubtedly the greatest love story of our time. I'm so obsessed with the two of them, its scary. All I have done this week is watch their movies. If you're interested in reading about Hollywood, and a love so furious, it burns, this book is for you.

Recently I found out that Taylor Swift has recommended this book. Now I'm a simple girl. I see Taylor recommending something, I add it to my TBR

The anatomy of Hollywood‘s most famous love story. And it‘s a hell of a ride. Long, complicated but laced with Tinseltown inside information. This was written before Taylor died - and with her cooperation, if not an interview with her. If you‘re interested in Hollywood, it‘s worth reading.

Saw this mentioned in a tweet this morning, two minutes later I‘d borrowed it from the library...

Has their ever been a more epic love story? No. I have been forever captivated by ‘Liz and Dick‘ and their more private relationship as ‘Elizabeth and Richard‘. This book confirms everything I wanted to be true. There was no greater a love story of two that were destined to be together and destroyed for it.

Since #WhenDovesCry is about a breakup, it makes me think of Elizabeth Taylor, who had quite a few breakups in her life. Furious Love is one of my favorite celebrity books. #PrinceofJuly @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @vkois88

My favorite lines: “when you get aroused playing Scrabble, that‘s love, baby”; “Richard, take a drink. You are so goddamned dull when you‘re not drinking”

A couple who could never decide whether they were ex‘s!

batsy Nice one! 7y
meganmayfair I'd love to read this. The mini series with Helena Bonham-Carter and Dominic West was really good. A fascinating couple - a true love-hate relationship. 7y

Omg I absolutely love everything in my #booktoteswap from @MallenNC !!! The tote is so me. I've been wanting to read The Chaperone for awhile now and I admit I squealed a little when I saw the Liz Taylor/Richard Burton book. 🤗 It's right up my alley. Thank you for everything! And thank you @cobwebmoth for hosting! 🤗🤓📚❤️🙌🏻

MallenNC I'm so glad! I love that book about Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, so I hope you will too. This was my first swap so I tried hard to pick things you would like! 7y
JenlovesJT47 @MallenNC you did a great job, thank you! Can't wait to read this book! 🤗 7y

My favorite #celebritylove story is Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. This book is a great look at their relationship. I love Elizabeth Taylor, and I'm looking forward to reading The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, which has to be at least a little inspired by her. #sizzlinsummerreads @Tiffy_Reads

brennahawleycraig That was my first thought about the plot of Evelyn Hugo too! You must read that book; it's soooo good. Have you read Beautiful Ruins? 7y
MallenNC @brennahawleycraig I have read Beautiful Ruins. I'm on the list at my library to get Evelyn Hugo. I think my turn will come up soon! 7y

I don't read romance too often, but I do love a Hollywood biography. So the first book that came to mind for #InTheMoodForLove was this one, which chronicles the tumultuous relationship between Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. It's a great one! (If you like Elizabeth Taylor, How to Be a Movie Star: Elizabeth Taylor in Hollywood is also great.) #seasonsreadings2016
