Today‘s Prompt: GLOVES
so-soOh how I wanted to love this story!! I‘m not sure if it‘s the fact that I‘m coming off of a reading high from Arctic Fury, whether the narrator didn‘t work for me, or what but I couldn‘t get into this one. I found Grace Kelly to be such an unhappy person, never satisfied being a Hollywood starlet/princess and who made each decision with open eyes. I wanted to love her but found her whiny. I did enjoy the peek behind the curtain feel. 🌟🌟🌟⬇️
pickThis was so good. It's a fictional version of Grace Kelly's life. This really sucked me in. I definitely recommend it.
#BookSpin done!

Before I start writing on this... Here is my December #BookSpinBingo grid. My #BookSpin is tagged. My #DoubleSpin is Ready Player Two which I'm slightly nervous to read since the first book is one of my favorites but at the same time I am also 😍😍😍😍.

Loved this one — a must for Grace Kelly fans and a lovely, intriguing look at the woman behind the legend. Not sure how long the sale lasts, but check your favorite e-book retailer.
pickGrace Kelly led quite the life. This wasn‘t my favorite read this year but it was written well.
pickI know some haven‘t found this story engaging but I did. There was something about having a fictitious voyeur like window to see how possibly her romance with her prince played out. I have long adored Grace Kelly and this was an entertaining read for me.

pick🌟🌟🌟 I am having a tough time finding a good audiobook that I can enjoy and focus on without having to go back and “relisten” the same parts over and over. I think I‘ve been listening to so many thrillers/suspenses that everything else is sort of monotonous. 🤷♀️ The story was somewhat interesting but it read more like a non-fiction biography written about someone who you think you should care about but their actual life story is sort of dull.
Good luck!!

panI really wanted to love this book. I have been a big fan of Grace Kelly since I was a young girl. But no. The language of the book is so flowery - five adjectives where two would have been sufficient. At the end, I felt the author painted Grace as an insecure and shallow woman. I have read so many historical fiction novels recently where the women were strong despite or because of circumstances and this portrait of Grace did not convey that.
