This epic read starts with the immigration of the first family member of JFK's arrival in the States...from there the reader takes an amazing journey through the history of the Kennedy's with family photos. Highly recommend this one. #chunkster #bookspin @TheAromaofBooks

This title is a must read I feel if you're interested in reading a book about this woman, her life, her family and her experiences. Heartfelt and full of information I found myself sucked into this #chunkster. #bookspin @thearomaofbooks

I found this to be a very good read. Especially if you're not fully aware of this man...or his presidency. It's a #chunkster so be prepared to settle in for a few days read. Truly a very good and interesting book. #bookspin @thearomaofbooks

TheAromaofBooks Great progress!!! 3mo

Fascinating timeline of Jackie O‘s life and death. As time passes, more details are revealed, i.e., information that was sealed X amount of years (after peoples‘ deaths) is now available to the public. 😔💔

I have long been impressed and intrigued by JFK and I found this to be a really edifying read. One that was interesting and filled with historic details that have been slowly forgotten. Highly recommended this one. #bookspin @thearomaofbooks

TheAromaofBooks Yay!!! 4mo

I finished this book on the same day as the anniversary of assassination of JFK. The effect of his death on Jackie is one of the biggest takeaways I had from this in depth and personal biography. But her dedication to her children and her family is truly what kept her going. Jackie's story and her image still resonate with us all these later and this biography will help readers better understand her place in history.

CrowCAH @Andrew65 you‘re welcome ☺️ I like how your readathons are choose your own goal; everyone is a winner! 5mo
Andrew65 @CrowCAH I think this flexibility helps people tailor it to their own life circumstances and feel that they have a chance of being successful. Some readathons just set me and others up to failure. 5mo

This was a fantastical, imaginative journey of a book. What interested me most was Jack‘s huge challenges in living with Addison‘s disease as well as his relationship & pursuit of Diana Playfair( whose side is she really on? U.S.,Soviet‘s?) & his relationship with FDR & his father. All fictional of course. #14books14weekd #TBR

TheAromaofBooks That's interesting about the Addison's. It's not a disease you hear much about. My grandma suffered from it - took a long time before doctors figured out what was going on with her. 9mo

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Working my way through the presidential bios. This one was good. I was a little bummed that the only audio version was abridged (although not THAT bummed since it came after really long books about Truman and Eisenhower). Still learned a lot, especially about Kennedy‘s foreign policy experiences.

Roary47 I‘m encouraged to read through the bios now. What a great way to learn more about history. 9mo
fredthemoose @Roary47 Give it a shot! At least for a time period you‘re interested in. I started a few years ago and it has really shored up a lot of my understanding of American history. A lot of the biographies are long, but many are also quite good. (edited) 9mo
