Glad you joined us, Nancy. I hope you enjoy being here.

Based on your post, you may find something to interest you in this topic:

WW 2

I suggest you check out our homepage and see what else 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:

Sportyrod | 1 comments Hi Everyone,

I’m Sportyrod. I joined this club because I like history. I read popular books sometimes but I’m more of an off-the-beaten-track reader. I like reading about places I know less about. Historical saga is my favourite genre. I live in Hobart, Australia.

Cheers,
Sportyrod

Navraj | 1 comments Hi everyone, my name is Navraj, I am in Southern California by way of Western Canada, Alabama, and Chicago. I love history, and am currently listening to podcasts of Dan Carlin (Hardcore History), which has piqued my interest in some more obscure time periods. Any links to India and South Asian history that anyone can recommend? The only caveat is that it has to be well written, and engaging. Thanks!

Vicki thank you for all of your welcomes so far - we have so many.

You might want to include an example of the full citation as the sample versus the exception - one with no author's photo. You can always include both.

Becoming by Michelle Obama by Michelle Obama Michelle Obama

We always add the book cover when available, the word by, the author's photo when available and always the author's link.

I will delete when you see the post - many thanks

I nurtured that interest through college and law school and continue to do so now through books. My interests are diverse. They run the gamut from sports to presidents to pioneers who trailblazed the West and beyond.

Magnus Stanke (magnus_stanke) | 1 comments Hello
My name is Magnus and I'm a passionate time traveller. Next stop: The Roaring Twenties in Berlin.
Okay, admittedly I travel in my head most of the time- no, all the time (mustn’t lose track of reality). To the best of my knowledge, the physical time-travel industry is still in its infancy. But I'll be their first passenger when they're ready. Honest. Anybody else?

Catherine (catjackson) Hello! My name is Catherine and I've found some very good recommendations so far in this group. I am a Program Specialist in Interdisciplinary Studies at a medium sized state university. One of the things I love about my job is that I see some of the most interesting students; many of them refuse to be confined to just one area of study. My own areas of study included English Literature and International Relations as well as theology and church history.

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

The Well-Educated Mind A Guide to the Classical Education You Never Had by Susan Wise Bauer by Susan Wise Bauer Susan Wise Bauer
