Mommie Dearest | Christina Crawford

Confession time: I am absolutely obsessed with Joan Crawford. I think she's a phenomenal actress and she's gorgeous (and has perfect eyebrows). Therefore, I refuse to read or watch Mommie Dearest, because I don't want my image of her to be tainted. Narrow-minded? Perhaps. But she's just so talented. #BooksAboutMothers #MayBookFlowers

merelybookish A gossip blogger I used to read always talked about the gossip buffet. That we pick and choose the stories and scandals we want to believe 8y

merelybookish In other words, I think it's okay to love Joan Crawford and ignore the other stuff. 😉 8y

JacintaMCarter @merelybookish My love of Joan Crawford has also led me to despise Bette Davis. She's a good actress, too, but I feel that it would be a betrayal to Joan to like her rival. 8y

merelybookish That's fair. It's like Angelina Jolie vs. Jennifer Aniston. 😉 Although didn't they do a creepy movie together? What's the matter with Baby Jane? 8y

rubyslippersreads @JacintaMCarter Bette Davis's daughter wrote a Mommie Dearest-type book too:

My Mother's Keeper

Chelsibno Confession time: My favorite Joan Crawford movie is Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?. I liked how Crawford and Davis worked off each other. It was one time where their rivalry actually helped both of them give great performances. I also liked how the film wasn't afraid to explore darker issues. 8y

Liatrek I love Joan Crawford. One of my favorite movies of hers is Mildred Pierce ❤️ 8y

Have a Nice Guilt Trip | Lisa Scottoline, Francesca Serritella

Lisa Scottoline is a local author whom I have had the pleasure of meeting on numerous occasions. Recently, she has partnered with her daughter to write humorous books together. Lisa also writes a column for the Sunday Philadelphia Inquirer, but sometimes turns it over to her daughter. Until her mother's death, she would also share funny stories about her mother in the column. #maybookflowers #booksaboutmothers

Mother, Mother: A Novel | Koren Zailckas

This was a good read but one that I wouldn't reread. This is a twisting thriller, with a truly horrible mother.
