Well, I was going to try this one to help me out of my slump. #MelanieBenjamin is one of my favorite authors so I thought I would give it a shot. However, #Chloe has decided to use it as her pillow. Guess I'll read more about Narnia tonight 🤷

MinDea @Texreader @CatLass007 @Andrew65 I took your suggestion and started YOU on audiobook and baked cookies tonight. It helped. Thank you! I am enjoying this book on audio even though I have already read it. I am not much of an audiobook person but listening to a book I enjoyed is helping. Like visiting old friends. Stalker friends...🤔😬😆😆 6y
PenguinInFlight I love Melanie Benjamin! 😍😍 6y
Texreader @MinDea So glad it helped! 6y

ladym30 Sweet kitty! 6y
Andrew65 @MinDea Great to see it helped, audiobooks work well for me with some but singularly fail for others, and been hard to establish some hard and fast rules. Good to revisit a book you loved, I agree it is like visiting old friends. 6y
Texreader @MinDea Thank you!! 6y
mcipher She looks like she has a lot to say about your book! 6y
MinDea @mcipher she was warning me that I was moving around too much and it better not be to disturb her and take the book! 😸😸😸 6y
Jess7 Haha ask Brian to get another book and slowly and quietly switch them out! 😉 6y
MinDea @Jess7 he was already passed out and asleep at that point! 😆 6y

Enjoyable book though Frances Marion‘s story is far more interesting to learn about than Mary Pickford‘s. #melaniebenjamin #francesmarion #marypickford

Reviewsbylola Looking forward to this! 6y

Hello Litsy community! I am looking for some historical fiction recommendations! Anyone have something they'd recommend??? Alice I have Been really got me into this genre and now #MelanieBenjamin and #ErikLarson are a couple of my favorite authors in this genre.

annahenke 😊 This is my favorite genre! To name a few recent ones: The Nightingale or Amy Snow or 8y
MinDea Thank you @annahenke ! I will look up those books! If you have more I'd absolutely love to hear them! 8y

LisaReads I agree with @annahenke The Nightingale was really good! Also, I loved The Storyteller by Jodi Picoult 8y
Lupita.Reads Thanks for the tag @mindea ! I recently read and really enjoyed Barkskins! Definitely one that would fit into the historical fiction genre. Annie Prolux is a fantastic writer 8y
