#11/20: The Girls in the Picture by Melanie Benjamin. Another fiction based on historical accounts (seems to be all I read these days!). This book went into a lot of the women's roles in the silent movie industry. It featured Mary Pickford as one of the "girls" but the story was narrated by her best friend, who managed to break in the business as a screenwriter. It spanned many years, up through the production of regular movies and how the silent film actors tried to survive. The book was interesting, from a Hollywood perspective, just to see how the cinema world started and evolved, mainly to the detriment of the actors and writers. Within that was the internal, personal friendship of the two women.
#12/20: The Wife Between Us by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen. This was turned out to be a real page-turner. It's a psychological/suspense type book sort of like Gone Girl. I enjoyed the pace of the book and the characters and the whole puzzle of it.
