I finally got around to this #auldlangspine pick from @Karisimo and it was well worth it! I‘m actually glad I waited to read this one until the weather was cooler since I didn‘t get to it at the beginning of the year. I very much felt like the chilly mornings added to the atmosphere of the book.

The way the alternating current and past stories began to weave together with the little fairy tale stories in between had me captivated. ⬇️

MeganAnn This would be a great pick for a late fall or winter reading list, especially if you‘re interested in reading a novel set during the Russian revolution that doesn‘t focus on Anastasia and the Romanovs, but more on the regular people swept up in the rebellion and the women that lived through it. 4.5⭐️ (edited) 2mo

5 Stars • "The Last Russian Doll" by Kristen Loesch follows three generations of Russian women:
• Tonya lives through the 1917 Russian Revolution, falling in love with a Bolshevik, Valentin, amidst political chaos and later Stalin's purges.
• Rosie (Raisa), in the 1990s, returns to Russia to unravel her family's secrets, particularly her mother Katya's mysterious past. ⬇️

suvata The novel intertwines personal stories with major historical events, exploring themes of love, survival, and identity across revolutionary and Soviet Russia. Rosie's quest for truth links her to her grandmother Tonya's life of resilience and espionage. 4mo

800 pages of Thorgil Thorgilsson pirating around, forming blood feuds, exchanging giant rings and gilded swords, and "discovering" Canada. Did you know Vikings named it Greenland as a marketing tactic? So more Norsemen would want to move to that desolate place and keep them company.

Loved it

I came in with really high expectations for this and maybe that was the problem. I don‘t think there was anything wrong with it per se, it just wasn‘t as compelling as I hoped for.

Kristy_K @marleed @Cathyloves2read I hate when this happens. I would rather come in with lower expectations and be surprised. 9mo

This book had a fairly promising start, with a young woman in 1991 looking for answers, and two people coming together during the Russian Revolution. While it‘s a fairly quick, mostly entertaining read, there are too many dangling plot lines and the ending is a combination of unsatisfying and just silly. But I have my BOTM backlist down to 2 books!

kspenmoll I am impresses with just 2 BOTM books left to read! I paused my membership to attack my backlog. Nit doing to well… 10mo
Amiable Sorry it was meh! Gorgeous cover, though. (edited) 10mo
