Very good. Very informative and interesting. I listened to the audiobook version of this which was read by the author so it added another layer onto it.

I completed 4/6 of the Goodreads challenges that was on from Jan 1st to April 30th. Hopefully I will do a bit better on the next one!!
Got the card from my Auntie and Uncle and the book from my partner yesterday. 😊📚📖
pickGood. Shows some insight into the films that made her famous as well as telling her life story. The first few chapters were hard to read as she came off brash but I stuck with it and it got better.

This is becoming freaky now! I read the lost passenger on the week of the anniversary of the Titanic (even heard some of the film score on the radio as I was reading it) and now I am reading Conclave on the week the pope dies. Not done purposely but it's just so weird that it has happened like this!!😲🤔
Has this happened to anyone else?
pickVery good. Full of historical detail and drama. Follows a young woman and her child who takes on a new persona when tragedy happens on the Titanic. Heartbreaking at times but also hopeful

Currently half price on #Waterstones and if you are a loyalty member you can get double points!! Can't believe it for a signed edition!!
pickGood. Very informative and impressive but also important to women to read because it shows how we have evolved. The chapters are done in a clever way as they take an aspect of a woman's life/body function and tell the evolution of that rather than just chapter 1,2 etc. Even though I enjoyed it and it was mainly very readable sometimes I did get bogged down in the scientific language at times.

pickGood. Nice romantic story. Nice to catch up with characters from the first book. Also I like how they set up the next story/book in the series.

pickVery good. Follows Helena Rubinstein and Elizabeth Arden and their quest for dominance of the beauty industry. Full of historical detail and drama. Even though I had heard of Elizabeth Arden before I didn't know much but this book has filled in some of my knowledge of her.

pickGood. I listened to the audiobook version of this. This was performed by three different women which added to the story and made it come alive and you could tell the difference between them. Follows three generations of Weyward women and their lives. Full of magic and nature.

Got the signed book box option from Tea leaves and Reads bookshop (see link above). Bag pictures are the back and front.
Nice little book which has come out at the right moment for me as I am currently on Maternity leave for having twin girls. Given me the hope and support that I needed as I have been struggling some days even though my partner is very supportive this has spoken to me and made me realise that I am not the only struggling as many women don't like to admit it because they feel like they have to be perfect all the time.
pickGood. Shows the reality of Maternity leave in a very candid but funny way.

pickGood. Story about two people trying to get a job writing an old socialite's biography. The old socialite gives me Evelyn Hugo vibes which I enjoyed. I enjoyed this book incredibly but it felt like I was taken out of the story when you were being told the socialite's story which jarred a little bit for me. Thank you #PenquinRandomHouse for the free copy via #Netgalley.
