Biography books for adults

I got the 12 months subscription as a gift to someone, it comes with a tea bag and a book mark and it is a nice way to treat someone who loves reading. Although it is only early days so I cannot yet comment on the quality of the books coming through, it has been very easy to use and set up!

Was so excited receiving my first box and such a great book and awesome treats. Something to look forward to every month ☺️

I love these book boxes, the treats are always good quality and getting a surprise book each month helps keep me out of a reading slump because there's always a new option on the way

Love love the choice of book I have

Crown The Black Count: Glory, Revolution, Betrayal, and the Real Count of Monte Cristo, by Tom Reiss

You’re probably familiar with The Count of Monte Cristo, the 1844 revenge novel by Alexandre Dumas. But did you know it was based on the life of Dumas’s father, the mixed-race General Thomas-Alexandre Dumas, son of a French nobleman and a Haitian slave? Thanks to Reiss’s masterful pacing and plotting, this rip-roaring biography of Thomas-Alexandre reads more like an adventure novel than a work of nonfiction. The Black Count won the Pulitzer Prize for Biography in 2013, and it’s only a matter of time before a filmmaker turns it into a big-screen blockbuster.
