I'm starting the year with a non-fiction book - George, Nicholas and Wilhelm. It's the story of three royal cousins and how they (plus their grandmother, the Queen Victoria) ended up on the road to World War I. Talk about family conflict. It's not a very quotable book, but I am enjoying it.
My teaser:
"George's letters home were Eeyore-ishly self-pitying. "The amount one is expected and has to do is simply awful," he grumbled." (page 247)
What about you? What are you reading for the new year?

Great teasers. They give an insight into that character. My Teaser is from an ARC of I Hate Everyone, Except You by Clinton Kelly.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds intriguing. I hope you're enjoying it.

I've read books about Nicholas and Wilhelm before but not any about George. I think it would be fascinating finding out more about them and just how they ended up at war. Here's my intro/teaser for this week: http://wp.me/p4DMf0-1ra
ReplyDeleteSounds fascinating. I'm curious about these three men and what led to war.
ReplyDeleteMy Tuesday post features Letters From Paris.
I can't wait to read your thoughts on this one. If you like it, I may have to give it a try. I love reading history, especially surrounding the World Wars.
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely enjoying it so far, though it is a bit "heavy" for the holidays :p
