We’re supposed to get what’s going on right? I mean it’s literally in the subtitle.

This book has been on my shelf for so long I’m pretty sure the reason I bought it is no longer relevant to me. Luckily I’m still into folklore though.

I just can’t with contemporary romances. I’m only sticking with this since it’s short.

I’m remembering bits and pieces about what’s happening. Mainly what’s going to happen to one character.

I loved this when I first read it; yet I remember nothing. Which is actually good because I’m falling in love with it all over again.

Latina Cinderella meeting a prince in church is exactly why I’m looking for pre-catholic tales.

I’d prefer pre-Catholic era folktales.

I skipped the Tall Tales, not exactly the type of folktale I’m looking for. That and a few were stories that I was already familiar with.

Nothing against this but it’s really making me want to reread Michelle Moran’s Cleopatra’s Daughter.

I barely made it through The Omen without thinking “Atticus Finch is trying to kill his kid.” No way would I have been able to watch with Dick Van Dyke.

Not entirely sure what is happening.

London might really be nothing but this book isn’t much either. 🫤

It’s been awhile but I had forgotten that I’m not a big fan of “woe is me, loveless millionaire” romances. Added bonus of it being a vampire and this one just feels a little tacky.

I know I said I was liking this one more but, ugh these guys are annoying. And this isn’t the first time I say this while reading one of E. Lockhart’s books so that’s clearly a thing with her.

I read We Were Liars in two days, I can’t remember if I wasn’t feeling well or just trying to avoid the upcoming holiday, but I think I’m liking this one a little more.

I was going to wonder if Lucille Ball knew an unflattering picture of hers was used in this but then realized it was published a year after her death.

The last chapter was six months in 1927, suddenly the next one is 1934 but it picks up the following morning?

For someone who hasn’t seen the movie in years and isn’t much of a fan the songs are coming far too easily to me.

Read some (mainly the Fred Astaire bits), skimmed some (mainly the minor bits of her personal life), had to go back to get full details on Katherine Hepburn being horrible.

I skipped ahead a few chapters to get to her going to Hollywood but then had to go back once I realized I skipped over her marrying her aunt’s boyfriend.
It’s all interesting enough that skipping isn’t necessary but I’m just not in the mood for some early years details.

I started this as an audiobook but wasn’t paying enough attention so I switched to an ebook but am just not focusing. Maybe I should try them together 🤷🏻‍♀️

A life time ago I not only would have finished this by now but I probably would’ve already reread it.

A part of me wants to be annoyed that she keeps going off topic but I am loving the early days of Hollywood history lesson.

My back hurts just listening to this. Alright that’s not true my back always hurts, but it is giving me flashbacks to my own scoliosis days.

It’s so tedious I can’t bring myself to care as much as I actually do.

I watched the miniseries and am intrigued enough with the plot to stick around but it’s just so tedious.

We’d save a lot of time if they’d stopped giving mini biographies for almost every person Gene came into contact with.

These two spent a lot of time looking at budgeting and box office charts and they want you to know it.

Skipped a couple of chapters, while I appreciate the thorough research I really don’t need an entire play by play of everything he did.

Nothing like listening to a book on regulating the nervous system and being disrupted by someone who screws with your nervous system. 😖
