Putting this out there for my fellow history nerds who may have watched the Netflix series that draws heavily from the tagged book (which is fabulous, by the way): I discovered a blog by a guy who has read and reviewed 260 presidential bios, from Washington to Obama. (He stopped where I would, too. 😖)
Some great stuff in here if you want to go down numerous rabbit holes: https://bestpresidentialbios.com/best-bios-summaries/
Susanita Tom and Lorenzo were talking about this. It sounds very interesting. https://overcast.fm/+AAEZglobxxc 7m
Mollyanna Thanks for putting this out there. This could be bad for my TBR. 😂 4m
Amiable @Mollyanna After watching the Netflix series my husband wanted to read about Chester Arthur. I told him I already have a bio of Arthur. But he saw this blog and wants the “definitive biography” on Arthur. So we bantered back and forth about whether to get the other one. I said this is the nerdiest argument ever in the history of arguments. 😄 (edited) now
Amiable @Susanita The Netflix show? It‘s wonderful! A friend watched it too and said the producers should do a whole series on “Presidents we forgot existed.” You know, “James K. Polk: We Hardly Knew Ye!” and “William Henry Harrison: He Died in 30 Days!” I think that‘s GOLD. 😀 (edited) now
Mollyanna I love that argument 😂. Nerdy arguments are the best. I‘m slowly working my way through Presidential bios. I agreed with his choice for Washington, but read a different for Adams. Might have to go back and read his recommendation, so I get your argument. now
