Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with the "add book/author" feature when you comment. (There is a link on the top right of the comment box). It makes things so much easier for people to see your book recommendations, because they can see the cover and the links to the author. And it helps the Goodreads software connect books with groups that talk about them.

When citing a book and/or author, please put the book cover, author's photo and author's link at the very bottom of the post after your text. Because it is on the bottom, it calls the reader's attention to the book/author and increases the readability of your posts.

This is how books that you mention should look:

Hello, my name is Connie. I am a married mother of 4 - who loves American History. I recently graduated with my MA in Military History and I wrote my capstone on the use of African Americans and Women as spies during the American Civil War. I have always loved learning about the American Wars. Weather it was reading, watching a documentary or just absorbing discussions. My dad was in the Air Force, his dad was in the Army, and his brother was in the Navy. I suppose that is where I started hungering to learn. Glad to be here.

Hi, I'm Jeff. I joined today to have another go-to place for conversations regarding presidential biographies, as I have started the challenge to read one for each POTUS. But I am also interested in the Holocaust and how humanity let that happen (it's not hard enough to understand, sadly). I read many other genres in between the biographies, but my interest in the presidents has three main origins: 1) A learned respect for the office in general and anyone who has the courage, strength, and ability to attain it. 2) A visit in 2011 to Washington DC that my wife planned which included a tour of the White House and a stroll through the WH Visitor's Center [highly recommend]. 3) A walking tour on that trip that traced the route of the investigation of Lincoln's assassination, followed a couple years later by a trip to Springfield, Illinois where exist all things Abe, including the only home that he and Mary ever owned, and his tomb.

Glad you joined us, Sin. Don't worry about your English, it looks fine.

Hey friends, I am Soumya and I am from India. I love Science But I also like History. I like reading about the rulers and their lives.

Hello! I am an Anglophile from as far back as I can remember. I read Shakespeare and drank tea in grade school, which left my mother shaking her head most days wondering where on earth I came from. My degrees are in English Literature, with a major in Renaissance and minors in Medieval and drama to 1700. I married my Liverpudlian husband in 2008 and after living in Holyhead, North Wales with him for three years, we moved back Ohio. I am pretty sure my reading preferences are beyond obvious.

Welcome from Latvia.

History, history and again history. Cruel 20th century, 2nd world war, gulag and holocaust

Hellow, This is Arragon from South-east Asia. I'm having my undergraduation on medical sciencess. But, I am deadly interested in History, especially from 500 AD to 1900 AD.

Aragon - welcome to you from Bangladesh - happy to have you with us.

You might want to say that you are seriously interested in history or very interested in history. We want you be very alive when you are enjoying history here.

Hi! My name is Devin and Im from the US. I like history because it helps me to make sense of the present and think about the future. The history topic that I am the most interested in now is the history of governments and democracy.

Bentley wrote: "Folks, we have this new thread open for introductions. You can always read all of the other welcomes and introductions in the other archived threads which we have closed because the threads are too..."

Ok....William Hall here....not sure where to introduce myself....a little confusing....here goes....I'm a post WW2 child....Dad was in the Pacific war....big fan of Churchill...till I read the agreement (Yalta) to return Russians back to Stalin for slaughter after the war....anyway...I digress...I live in Virginia (US) and was wondering if anyone knows about Nina Markovna "Nina's Journey"...1989....did her brother "Slava" survive? No info on the net. Looking forward to the group.

Hi there, I'm Li and I live in the southwestern US but I like more than just the good ole western tales everyone's heard about. European and Asian history is particularly interesting, but honestly I like it all. I look forward to finding bits of information I've not heard before about anything and everything historical.

Li can you tell us the state - we like to find out where folks are from generally. What state are you from Devin?

Hi, my name is Xiaochen, from Beijing, China. I like history and read more on Chinese history. Western hisotry is a little bit more difficult for me because many the characters sharing the same name...

Hi everyone! I'm jingles. I live in the southern part of the US. I love reading, and my favorite genre is Historical Fiction. For sometime though I've had a great desire to read more non-fiction, particularly about the American Civil War. In searching for a group centered around History, I found this one. Wow! What a group you have!! I'm very excited to get started.

Greetings. My name is Natalie and I primarily read fiction and poetry but have turned more to history and biography in recent years and find that they really help me to amplify upon my understanding of fiction. I currently live in Ohio, but grew up in Connecticut.


I first contributed to this group noticing that one of my favorite works, "Dubliners" by James Joyce, was a buddy read.

I have just ordered the Lindbergh biography:

I would like to sign up for the reading group, but I cannot figure out where to do that because discussion is locked.

Natalie we have event notifications that we send out for each book - we sign up there - but the Lindbergh thread will also be open for discussion on March 1st and we will be delighted to have you join us. Please also join in for the Dubliners.

Thank you very much, Bentley. I appreciate it.

Hi, my name is Mike Orta. I have tried before to post my introduction, but I guess it didn't go through. Please be patient and I will try again. I am a retired teacher. I have always taught my children the love of books and literature. One of my favorite things to do is to go to swap meets or used book stores or antique stores and find old books by authors I have never heard of or books that are no longer in print. I find these titles to be fun reads! I hope to learn about more authors that have gone by the wayside.

Hello I live in Tennessee. Over the years I've lived and toured in Italy, seeking out the places off the beaten path. The way I stay in touch with my experiences in Italy is to write and read. The focus of my reading is 13th, 14th, and 15th century Italy. I find this era enormously complex with Pope, princes, city-states and roaming bands of mercenaries all vying for power. That coupled with the resurgence of art and literature makes this time period an endless sandbox for my imagination. I particularly like to read about foreigners such as Enguerrand de Coucy and John Hawkwood adventuring in Italy after fighting in the 100 years war.

Hey!

I live in Antwerp (Belgium, Europe). I am a last year law student specializing in public law at the Catholic University of Leuven. I love public law because it interacts with so manny other study fields like: sociology, political science, philosophy and history. I just finished my comparative constitutional law exam and inspired by the history of the revolution i found this reading group. Besides that i like to read about Russia, eastern Europe, the balkans,.. .Actually every country with another culture. When I read I try to switch between fiction and non-fiction. My goal for this year is to read less Facebook and read more real books. I thought this group would be the right place to start!

Kind regards,
E.

Welcome to our recent new members. I'm in my first discussion and really enjoying it. (Well, I'm enjoying the read, and I will discuss soon. )

Li, Hi from a fellow Phoenician! (I was born in the South, but I've been here since 1995 and I'm not going anywhere!)

Mike, I was disappointed that I typed my introduction into the emailed link and it would not send . I tried twice and failed. However, when I went directly to the thread, everything was fine. Was this your problem?

Hope to see you all in the discussions!

Welcome to the group, Emile--we are glad you found us. We have discussions on all aspects of history so please feel free to join in.

I have to admit that I didn't have a clue about Historical Fiction until about 15 years ago. At that point I was finally done with diapers and high chairs and my mom handed me a book that was to eventually change my life:
by Diana Gabaldon

The 18th century swallowed me whole. I read her series seven times then went in search of more, eventually picking up the "Into the Wilderness" series
by Sara Donati

And this series:
Marsha Canham

Then I fell in love with the mid-West with
by Penelope Williamson

And over to Russia with
by Paullina Simons

But I'm Canadian, and I hadn't fallen in love with anything talking about my own country's history. So I am now writing it. I won't post any links because I don't want to spam anyone.

Thanks for being here - I look forward to chasing down some of the books you all have posted!

Hello:)
My name is Asja, I am 17 years old and I come from Croatia.
I joined this group because I love history and I'd like to discover more books about it(I prefer non-fiction to fiction).

Welcome, Asja! It's good to see another member from Croatia.

Welcome to our group, Genevieve! We have many different topics and books being discussed here so please feel free to explore and jump in.

I suggest you check out our homepage and see what we have to offer. You can access it through this link:

History Book Club main page

Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with the "add book/author" feature when you comment. (There is a link on the top right of the comment box). It makes things so much easier for people to see your book recommendations, because they can see the cover and the links to the author. And it helps the Goodreads software connect books with groups that talk about them.

When citing a book and/or author, please put the book cover, author's photo and author's link at the very bottom of the post after your text. Because it is on the bottom, it calls the reader's attention to the book/author and increases the readability of your posts.

This is how books that you mention should look:

by Diana Gabaldon
by Sara Donati
by Marsha Canham
by Penelope Williamson
by Paullina Simons

Hello, my name is Matthew. I am interested in history because I want to learn why the world is the way it is. I am hoping to find some good books on geopolitics and how cultures, philosophies and religions formed.

Hi, my name is Zsófi, and I'm from Budapest, Hungary. I have a BA in American Studies, and I almost finished my Juris Doctor program. Books are a safe haven for me, I have always enjoyed reading. I became interested in History when I found my research focus: colonial witch hunts in North America and the belief in sorcery in slaveholding states. Since ever, I have been focusing on this topic. I am currently working on two publications, and I have been giving lectures at Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest. My other area of interest is the development of women's rights in the Middle East and the influence of Islam on everyday life. I have traveled to Turkey, Egypt, and Afghanistan extensively and I am a passionate lover of the Iznik tiles and the culinary traditions of the Arabic and Turkish regions.
Otherwise, I am also interested in modern history since my grandfather fought in WWII and was held as a war prisoner near the Black Sea for five years. He was a devoted Lutheran and opposed both the Nazi and the Communist regimes since both of them heavily punished religious groups and disintegrated communities. Unfortunately, he passed away in 2003 and could not answer all my questions about those turbulent times. For better understanding his youth, I usually read family novels from that era.
