The Secret History of Audrey James | Heather Marshall

pick

You won‘t want to put it down.

We hear the story of Audrey and Kate - 1939 and 2010 as they meet for the first time and learn of each other‘s lives.

Fictionalized story line based on a real person.

A story about loyalty, friendship, and doing what you know is right.

Historical fiction and women‘s fiction fans will adore this book. 5/5

Thank you, @TheBookHippie for choosing this one. A book I wouldn‘t have picked up on my own but one I‘m happy I read. Reading with this group makes me happy.

A fictional story about Colleen Moore, an actress in the early 1900s, who sponsored an incredible fairy castle dollhouse at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. I saw this dollhouse on many trips to the museum, as every year there was a field trip from school, and my parents took us kids there at least a couple of times a year. I loved it and probably still would if I got there again. Maybe it would still make me feel like a princess! ⬇️

Lesliereadsalot The story itself is a typical rags to riches, with the necessary drunk husband and oblivious studio heads. Lots of name dropping. A soft pick, but brought back lots of memories. 5d

BarbaraBB I just read a book about a dollhouse too, one that I often saw as a child when visiting the museum it‘s in:

Read for #SundayBuddyRead I‘m a classic movie & old Hollywood buff & so this novel based on a real-life actress & star of the silent screen (Colleen Moore) was right up my alley. I didn‘t know much about her as an actress or the castle dollhouse she built for charity that still sits in the Griffin Museum in Chicago. The book has lots of personal & relationship drama & Hollywood tea that kept me entertained. I would have loved more ⬇️

TheBookHippie, DieAReader

DebinHawaii …on her later relationships and life after acting, but all-in-all, it was a great escape read and pick for February. 5d

kspenmoll Great review! It was a wonderful read for this month! 5d

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this for the #SundayBuddyRead - I‘m a big fan of Old Hollywood but don‘t know as much about the silent era, so this opened up a whole new world for me. It‘s based on a real silent movie star (Colleen Moore) which makes it even better. Would love to go visit her fairy castle in Chicago one day. 4.5⭐️ Thanks for hosting @TheBookHippie ! 🤗

TheBookHippie I love it so much. 6d

TorieStorieS The fairy castle has been my favorite part of the Museum of Science and Industry for my whole life! They used to have payphone style phones where you listened to the details, but now it plays in a less germy way hahaha! 3d

JenlovesJT47 @TorieStorieS I feel like a bad fan because I have never heard of this before reading this book! I love Old Hollywood but don‘t know as much about the silent era. This book was really good and I‘d highly recommend it if you haven‘t read it! Here‘s a book about the dollhouse https://annas-archive.org/md5/7f02c721d5baaae35b9f2655b6538a10 2d

TorieStorieS I listened to this one already, my book twin! But I grew up with this castle so I think I expected more magic!! 2d

JenlovesJT47 @TorieStorieS of course you did, book twin! 😆 There are a bunch of books about Colleen Moore and the doll house on Anna‘s Archive if you‘re interested ❤️ 2d

TorieStorieS Oooo— I‘m going to check them out now! I have my mom‘s original book on the castle from I think before I was born! I just have to find it… 1d

This might be a low pick for me but I think it's my general mood and not the book here. Getting a non blurry photo while standing on the T (subway train) was a struggle.
