I am not a fan of the Johnson family but a friend gave me this to read and I felt I had to at least try and read it ! I then found myself in a position where I thoroughly enjoyed it and couldn‘t put it down ! I was not expecting that …. It‘s sort of a spoof on the 2016 Brexit referendum, Russian involvement and USA presidential election - very close to the bone at times and fascinating reading .

Some of the most unflinching writing I‘ve ever read. And that last line is a gut punch. (Pictured my old метро stop)

#BookedinTime #February #HailtheBail

I tried print and audio. A whole lot of telling going on and I‘m bored. I think I‘d be better off reading Mathilda Kschessinska‘s own Dancing in Petersburg.

Just 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!

A mammoth analysis of the Russian revolution that is well worth a read. Figes broaches the historical figures with a compassionate but critical eye, scrutinising key events that led to the overthrown Romanovs, revolution, and catastrophic change for so many. The repercussions of which are still felt a century later. It is endlessly fascinating.

Cuilin Sounds interesting 2mo
