Hello everyone! My name is Jennifer. I an 23 years old, and I run my own youtube channel about reading. I am currently participating in a reading challenge, but would love to get to know other readers of all ages and start reading books of all genres.

Hi John! The one in Tacoma is the Washington State History Museum. I'm glad you love it--I do too! MOHAI is on Lake Union in Seattle (moved there a few years ago from the Montlake area because of highway construction--State Route 520). MOHAI's new home is the former Naval Reserve Armory Building, a marvellous space for their treasures and a terrific revitalization of the building, which has been vacant most of the time I've lived in Seattle.

I volunteer at MOHAI's Resource Center--library, archives, storage, workspace and a few historical societies--which is in Georgetown, in the southern end of Seattle.

Welcome, Courtney. Good luck on reading the prez biographies. We are here to help and we have a topic on the presidents:

There are also many other folders where you can discuss topics that interest you.

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.

Hello everyone,
I'm really happy I found this group! I'm from USA; I have a masters' degree in teaching and I'm a second grade teacher, but my bachelor's degree was in English and history. I love all history about any place and time period, but mostly my love for learning really connects to my love for travel--I've traveled through many different countries in Central and South America, Asia, and Europe, and I always love to study up on the history of the places I visit so that I can get a better sense of the story of a place. I'm currently planning for a trip to the US East Coast this summer (I've never been!) and will be spending a lot of time in New York City, so I'm reading by Edward Burrows to help me better understand its history. I joined this group because I love to connect with other people who love learning about and reading about history. Thanks for the opportunity to introduce myself!

[Teri]

[Thomas]

Hello, names Thomas. I'm a recently graduated, now looking for a good discussion on history and this seemed like a good place. I actually have interest in just about every period in history, basically everything from ancient times to World War 2 (I don't have much interest after WW2). However, I am rather new to this as I only had a mild interest in history before, but now I would like to take the plunge.

[Bryan]

Welcome Caroline, please browse around and post some of your favorite books.

[Teri]

Welcome Mizra, Michael and Caroline. I think you'll find some great discussions and recommendations here. Looking forward to seeing you around.

[Dennis]

Hello everyone,
I just joined the group and I wanted to introduce myself. I love books on history. I recently read Napoleon: A life by Andrew Roberts and I enjoyed it. I am looking for a good book on Winston Churchill, but there are so many to choose from. Any recommendations would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

[Annette]

Hello everyone,

My Dad was a history teacher and Mom was an english/reading teacher. They instilled a love of learning and reading. I want to learn more history. I read a great many audiobooks and recently read, The Killing Angels, by Michael Shaara. It was wonderful depiction of the Civil War. Also, I listened to Scorpions about the many Supreme Court justices around the time of FDR and WWII. Fascinating. I'm looking forward to everyone's recommendations. Thanks.

Hello and welcome, Dennis.....you are in the right place for the history lover. Rather than putting a recommendation for a Churchill book here, let me direct you to our thread regarding the great man and you will find many books to peruse.

Welcome Dennis and Annette. Please browse around.

[Peter A.]

I am Peter from the Netherlands, they used to tell me me "history learns that perople do not learn from hisotry". I certainly do not agree with this because this learning from history is what makes the world develop. I like biographies of perople I do not understan (Napoleon, Stalin, Hitler, Mao) and of people I admire (Washington, Hoover ) or am curious about ( quite some otther US presidents whose libraries I visited). Further European and US history. In general. I hope to learn and discuss in this group !

Hi, my name's Marco and I'm from Italy. I'm most interested in history (of course) and travel books and I'm currently focusing on Asian history. I'm generally a non-fiction guy, although I don't mind reading historical fiction every now and then.

I signed up to Goodreads (and THBC) months ago but I've only recently decided to give it a serious try to keep track of my readings, discover new books and challenge myself to read even more.

[Jill H.]

So glad you decided to participate in the HBC, Marco and it is great to have another member from Italy. You will find many new books and good discussion here. You might start by visiting our thread on China since you are interested in Asian history.

[Ashish]

Hi to everyone,
What is history? Is it a matter of expanding, receding boundaries, countless killings, emperors and kings hoisted and then tossed aside, scientific, technological and economical progress?
To me, history is a perpetual conflict of class. Those who are not written about are more important to me than those who hog headlines. But for subjugation of masses, the powers would nowhere be near where they are now. Masses must rise and write their own history, the well-being of majority rather than some smug tale of a few.

[Bryan]

Welcome Katie. Glad you found us.

[Bryan]

Welcome, ashish. You make an interesting argument. On the flip side, you are seeing historians using new perspectives to view history. They use oral, social, labor, cultural, and minority histories. Take a look one example:

[Teri]

Welcome to the group Ashish! I have a feeling you'll bring some very thought provoking views to the group. Looking forward to seeing you in some discussions.

[David]

Hi! I'm a native Californian. Having grown up in a place with a relatively short history, I've been fascinated with history most of my life — and have been a fan of historical fiction for years. I grew up in a house full of Japan (because my dad had been stationed there in the US Air Force), and so have always been particularly fascinated with that nation.

[K.]

Hi! So glad to be here!
My name is Kelly and grew up in the historic Saratoga Springs area of upstate New York.

I have a MALS degree in film studies and screenwriting, for which I received the Foner Fellowship for social justice and the arts. I've researched the Army of the Potomac during the Civil War, World War II (European theater) and the rise of the film industry in the United States, along with socio-political implications. I have also studied a bit of myth and theology. My current study is the FBI, Mob and Spies during World War II. The next area of research will be the East India Company.

I'm a photographer, dog mom and blogger.

[Martha]

I'm Martha from the Chicago area, French major turned into computer programmer. I'm always looking for a great overview to explain the history of a country or idea. I started with some random books about England (I figured there had to be more to their history than Henry the VIII chopping off heads), got lucky with podcasts by Lars Brownworth and Mike Duncan to help me get started with Byzantium and ancient Rome, and have since been trying to fill in my knowledge of European / Asian history. Someday I'll get to Africa.

If anyone has recommendations for a layman's guide to the Hanseatic League, the Hapsburgs, or Bulgaria, pm me your recommendations. In the meantime, I'm always browsing! Thanks!

[Jill H.]

A warm welcome, David. We are glad you joined this group of fellow history lovers. Since you have an interest in Japan, let me point you to the Japan thread.

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.
