It was interesting to read just how different Adams and Jefferson were, yet it is unlikely this nation could have succeeded without such differences in the founders. The hope and optimism of Jefferson to help it take off, the wisdom and cynicism of Adams to keep it from flying away. Well written. A worthwhile read.

My February #bookspinbingo list. Lots of carryovers from last month and some new books. I am already working on Alexander Hamilton (my #chunksterchallenge book for 1st quarter) and Far From the Madding Crowd both of which I will finish this month.

#chunksterchallenge2023 check in: I‘m a little more than halfway through. I‘m not enjoying this one as much as I loved Grant and Washington, but it‘s very informative…and it‘s a good reminder that politics have always been nasty.

Amiable Right? I had the exact same reaction to it. “Washington” is still my favorite Chernow! 2y
SamAnne Washington is on my TBR for this year. 2y

Finally had the opportunity to see Hamilton!
It is just as amazing as people say!
I grabbed Chernow's book during intermission and I'm making it a new 2023 reading goal to finish all 731 pgs by year's end!
I may start with the shorter book about Lafayette 🙃 I'm fascinated about his role in the war.

MatchlessMarie I enjoyed the Chernow biography. Definitely didn‘t feel like a textbook to me. 2y
brittanyreads Happy to hear! I have an insatiable thirst for learning, so I can wait to deep dive into Hamilton's life and that key period of US history. Idk why I don't pick up more historical nonfiction, honestly. @MatchlessMarie 2y

MatchlessMarie @BrittanyReads Chernow also did a biography of George Washington that I started some time back but my hold expired before I finished. I should get back to that one some time this year. 2y
Kappadeemom I just saw it last week in Tampa at the Straz too and it was fantastic! That cast is so talented👏👏 Do you live in the Tampa area? (edited) 2y
brittanyreads Yes, I do! @Kappadeemom The show was so wonderful I already want to see it again! Haha We did brunch at Oxford Exchange and then Hamilton. Perfect day! 2y
Kappadeemom @BrittanyReads my son loves the champagne bar at Oxford..lol. We used to live in Seminole but we moved to Ruskin in April. 😁 2y
brittanyreads Nice! @Kappadeemom I hope you're enjoying it there! 2y
