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!

pickA mammoth analysis of the Russian revolution that is well worth a read. Figes broaches the historical figures with a compassionate but critical eye, scrutinising key events that led to the overthrown Romanovs, revolution, and catastrophic change for so many. The repercussions of which are still felt a century later. It is endlessly fascinating.
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!

I‘ve been watching in Russian Ekaterina II on Amazon Prime which reminded me to read these two books and get the others I‘ve wanted. She both fascinates me and makes me love her spirit 🫣😅
She politically did a lot, but of course that‘s not what people focus on, because of course.
#hygeehour nerd me 😂♥️
Fun tea towel found at the dollar store!
Coffee instead of cocoa 😳
No school again tomorrow ❄️🥶 too cold and icy.
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!
