so-so⭐️⭐️⭐️After reading presidential biographies the last few years, this seems pretty on par with those - some parts I found very interesting (like the background info on the Stamp Act and the Boston Tea Party), others I totally missed because I zoned out listening to the audio.So I appreciate it for what it was, but biographies are never going to be a favorite genre of mine. I do recommend it, tho, if you‘re interested in Revolutionary War history.
"... Nothing so annihilates the present as that which kills the future." - Pierre François Réal, on Napoleon's propensity to sabotage potential for real change in France due to his wars of conquest.

We'll start with Poseiden's steed over weeks 1 - 3 before moving onto the biography of Rachel Carson (tagged) over weeks 4 - 8. I'm going to keep separate tag lists for both reads so please comment which ones you'd like to be tagged in. I don't want to be annoying 🙈

A bonkers book about a bonkers person! Marion Carstairs was born in 1900, but soon reinvented herself as Joe, became a speed-boat racer and bought Whale Cay, an island in the #bahamas.
Despite having lots of affairs with women, including Marlene Dietrich, her greatest love was a 12 inch doll called Lord Tod Wadley.
It reads like fiction but is all true!
bailedI read the French translation of this book by Alain Roy. The content and structure of the book was fine, but the translation was heavy going and had weird notes (like specifying that « agent provocateur » was in French in an English source document). It took me five renewals to get not even halfway through, so back to the library it goes.
