Haven‘t finished a book in what feels like months, so I‘m trying to plug along with my epistolary journey. I‘ve had to read this one on my computer because it shows the actual pages of her journal and I couldn‘t see it on my kobo. Only downside.

Switching gears with my reading this week, going from Sci-Fi to Historical Fiction. I'm taking a dive into a friendship between Marilyn Monroe and Ella Fitzgerald. It's a fascinating peek into the lives of two magical women. I already love it!

Good. Takes an in-depth look at not just the final days and death of Marilyn Monroe but her whole life. Even though I enjoyed this there were some chapters that I skipped due to information that I felt just dragged the story down and wasn't relevant. Also sometimes during chapters that I did read some parts felt like it was also going off on tangents.

Cool question! - But no, none. I have three tattoos atm and have planned more, but no book related ones till now. The tattoos I have and the ones planned are quotes by Marilyn Monroe, song lyrics and animals.
This was a really good read. At times I felt desperately sad for her, and, depressingly, I could relate a little to her mental health struggle. I realised I knew shockingly little about her life and death, and the author's investigation was fascinating. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
This book was haunting to read. Whilst is not a new release it was new to me and this #chunkster enthralled me. What makes this book about this woman different from others it's her own narrative. Truly recommend this one if you're looking to read a nonfiction title. #bookspin @thearomaofbooks

Good. Hard to read at first as it's very disjointed but when you get into it it's such a good read. A fictionalised account of Marilyn Monroe's life from not just her but her friends and family. My advice with this book is to just go with it and don't think too hard about what you are reading otherwise it won't make sense and will spoil the experience, you need to have some background knowledge before you read this as some things won't make sense.
Historical narrative from MM‘s POV. It‘s unique and I learned a lot about where and who Norma Jean came from…
