pickJust finished my first chunkster of the year and I really enjoyed it. As with most historical non-fiction, I realized just how much I never learned in school and my TBR got longer. I‘m definitely going to read the rest of the Romanov series by this author!

End of February check-in on my #chunksterchallenge2024 book. I‘m more than 2/3s in and should finish mid-March. Peter has met and married Catherine. He has finally defeated Sweden (there has been a lot of war in this past section) and the European stage has been changing. Peter is now turning his attention on who will be his heir, and the obvious choice is a dismal disappointment. So many interesting tidbits in this book! @Amiable
#chunksterchallenge2024 check in: I‘m 360 pages in and it‘s outstanding. We‘ve seen his rise to the throne (and overthrowing his sister), his “incognito” tour of Europe in hopes of westernizing Russia, building a navy, defeating the Turks…and now turning their attention on Sweden and founding St Petersburg. Put this on your list. Massie is fantastic!

Our 1st Quarter Chunkster for the #chunksterchallenge2024
We‘ve read biographies of American presidents the past few years and are pivoting to Russia.
Thank you for hosting, Amy!

In March, I enjoyed The Tsarinia's Daughter by Ellen Alpsten and also Blackout by Simon Scarrow. Both books were 5 ⭐ for me.

@GinaKButler @CoverToCoverGirl Another one to add to future #ChunksterChallenge lists! It‘s 900+ pages.
pickAlthough I didn‘t read the first book Tsarina I found this to be a solid historical novel. Rich in historical details and filled with actual historic figures I found this to be a very good read. #readingchallenge2022
so-soReview is up. I enjoyed the first one so much better than this one. Check out my review

pickSequel to Tsarina. This was just as Fabolous. It looks at Elizabeth Petrovna Romanov of Russia and her life from Peter the Great's death thru Ivan VI's reign. Takes me a while to read a Historical Fiction, bc I stop, look up, and read about other people I come across in the book, when I know nothing about them. I am such a nerd 🤓.
Book comes out March 15, 2022
