Continuing with Van Gogh‘s sunflowers and this audio book- I am going to NEED a trip to France after this
The whole first layer is finished - up to bag #22 - from here on out it‘s details 🎉🎉 I am thoroughly enjoying this history, remembering my essays written on the Black Death in uni, but having completely missed the price the Jewish people paid ( W the AF ) when they were blamed even before the disease arrived in towns 🤬
My last audio book got clawed back before I finished so I started this while I do errands, putter and Lego ( this is Van Gogh‘s Sunflowers )
pickFinally finished my Q1 #chunksterchallenge2025 this morning. I admit that I didn‘t love this one as much as some other chunky biographies that I‘ve read. It‘s incredibly detailed, I only wish that the maps were just as detailed…it was difficult to imagine some of the battles. I‘m glad that I picked this one up…and the spine is beautiful on my shelves! Thanks for hosting, @Amiable #bookspinbingo
pickThis is basically a history about French chaos and Berthe Morisot with a bit of Manet. She's an icon and I'm glad I took a break from (paused) my fantasy trend to give her some of my headspace.

Map of revolutions, mutinies and uprisings across the Americas, the Near-East and Europe at the end of the 18th century, beginning of the 19th. I wish it was better taught at school.
pickGreat analysis of the overthrow of bourgeois society by the people and its eventual suppression by the collusion of Prussia and the French government.
