Both sound good, but I am particularly excited to read the Splendid and the Vile. I loved Dead Wake by Erik Larson and Winston Churchill is one of my favorite historical figures. Yes I am slow reading this book!

Crazeedi Splendid and Vile so good, I love Larson!! 4y

DarkMina @Crazeedi Glad to hear it. 4y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I may have to bump up

DarkMina @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I agree! 4y

The Lady of the Rivers: A Novel | Philippa Gregory

Finalllyyy starting this series, but being the weird history buff bookworm I‘m starting it in chronological order. Also I‘m obsessed with learning about royal families from their origins to the present. I‘m also procrastinating because i don‘t want to do anything but read this book. 😁#theladyoftherivers #bookworm #historybuff

Lauraandherbooks I have all the books except the first 3!!!! I hope to find them soon , I love this genre 5y

Treaties, Trenches, Mud, and Blood (Nathan Hale's Hazardous Tales #4): A World War I Tale | Nathan Hale

My son has been DEVOURING these graphic novels by Nathan Hale. He LOVES the history behind each story and has been very knowingly telling me all about The Great War for the last twenty minutes.#LoveIt #MyLittleReader #HistoryBuff

Citizen of the World: The Life of Pierre Elliott Trudeau, Volume One: 1919-1968 | John English

New reading goal: read a bio for each Canadian Prime Minister. These should get me started! Leave any recommendations for prime ministerial bios below! #canada150 #historybuff #readingchallenges

twohectobooks This is a good idea! I only have a Mackenzie King one on my TBR at the moment but I may end up adding some others now that I've had this inspiration from you ahaha.

King: William Lyon Mackenzie King : a Life Guided by the Hand of Destiny

avkreads @twohectobooks Yeah! I was kind of disheartened when I realized that I'd read several US Presidential bios and not a single Canadian Prime Ministers. 7y

twohectobooks Know what you mean. I found you through the #canada150 tag: this year's reading project for me is that all the non-fiction I read is Canada related, so I'm looking for ideas. 7y
