I'm going to nominate Peter the Great: His Life and World by Robert K. Massie. I've heard great things about this book and have been wanting to read it for awhile.
Sawyer you beat me to nominating Nicholas and Alexandra! I got it awhile ago and have been waiting for the just the right time to read it :)
Peter the Great by Massie is awesome. Although I've read quite a bit about N&A, I haven't read the Massie one, which looks very interesting. I love this topic so I'm hoping to jump in for this read next month.

***FICTION OR NONFICTION***
Okay everyone, it's that time of the month - time to nominate! Anyone who would like to nominate ONE book may do so in this thread.
The theme this month is RUSSIAN ROYALTY (fiction or non-fiction). There are a lot of "Great"s and even a "Terrible" out there that we haven't read about in this group! Time to take a break from the English!
If you want to see if we have already read a book you are thinking of nominating, just look at the sections where we discuss the books (E. Royalty Monthly Group Read and History Monthly Group Read). The very first thread under each of those sections lists all the books we have read as a group (Books We Have Read as a Group).
Please try to check amazon or some other site to make sure the book is easily available - the last thing we want is to nominate some great book that no one can get! If you nominate more than ONE book, only the first book listed will make it into the voting thread (so save additional books for the next months!). Also, if the book doesn't fit the theme, I won't add it to this month's voting list, but I will carry it over to the next theme that it does fit under if you would like.
Feel free to nominate one book of your choice in this thread until June 2nd, 9pm Eastern.
At around that time, I'll make a voting poll and list all the nominated books in it, and people can vote in the poll until the poll closes (around end of June 7th). Discussion can start on JULY 15th.
Happy Nominating!
