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!
