The History Book Club discussion

Hi Mike, welcome to the club, we are glad to have you as a member.

As you get started please take a moment to familiarize yourself with the "add book/author" feature when you comment. 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 after all of the text of your post at the bottom of the post . Placement at the bottom of the post calls the reader's attention to the book and/or author and increases the readability of your post. This is how books you mention should look:

Hi there, my name is Alberto. I live in the UK but I'm originally from Italy.

I work as a software engineer and love reading and music and I'm attempting, with varying degrees of success, to learn play the piano - and let me tell you, when you're in your forties, it ain't easy!!

Alberto

Welcome Alberto. I’m glad you joined the History Club.

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 reply box.) When citing a book and/or author, please put the book cover, author's photo (when available) and author's link at the very bottom of the post after your text, because this visual alignment not only calls the reader's attention to the book/author promotion, but helps Goodreads software connect books with groups and further increases the readability of your posts.

Um, this is a little scary for technie phobes like me. I think I won't mention books right away!

Cheryl, good to have you in the group and hope you enjoy the many book recommendations and discussions found here. Explore and have fun!

Cheryl the books thing is very easy once you get the hang of it. Don't be afraid, we are here to help. You can practice on the mechanics of the board thread.

I was the worst when I first joined the club but it suddenly becomes clear. As Alisa mentioned, you can practice on the mechanics of the board thread and one or more of the moderators will be there to help you.

Cheryl welcome to the History Club. I drive by the Revolutionary War battlefield of Guilford Court House (North Carolina) several times a week. A vast number of northern and southern folks have the Civil War ingrained in their brain and fail to comprehend that some significant Revolutionary War battles were fought in southern states too.

Have fun and enjoy the club.

Welcome Ana to the History Club. Portuguese is also a great language with much history of its own.

Hi everyone,
I dont read military history, I mostly read biographies on people such as HenryVIII, ElizabethI and, currently, Marie Antoinette.
Looking forward to chatting to some interesting people on here :-)

Welcome Lucy, we are glad to have you as a member. There is so much more to explore beyond military history. Explore the threads, you never know what you might find that stimulates your interest.

Welcome Lucy to the History Club. Read, chat and have fun.

Welcome, Nancy. Glad to have you with us.

Hi, I'm Nancy, an avid reader of books on American history. The bulk of my history reading is about the frontier west - from about 1790 to 1890. Most of my travels are to historic sites in the west, especially those where significant events took place during the Indian Wars.

Welcome Nancy, we are glad to have you as a member. There are many discussions to be found here. We hope you enjoy and participate.

Hi, just wanted to introduce myself to the group. I've been on goodreads I think about a year but only just recently started to use it more regularly. I am a history teacher and read quite a bit of history books. I look forward to discussing history with you all.

Welcome, Joseph. Glad you could join us.

Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with the "add book/author" feature when you are ready to cite a book. (There is a link on the top right of the reply 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.
