My name is Whitney. I was always interested in history growing up, and decided to do my B.A. in History. After moving to North Carolina I have found myself not discussing history as much as I used to, and hope that I will find some good discussions here.
I am open to learning about a variety of topics. My primary interest is where the lines between myth and history are blurred, so I read a lot about ancient and medieval history.
I also enjoy learning about women in history that accomplished things that seemed unlikely for them because of their culture, religion, or society.
I hope to learn more about my interests, and perhaps find some new topics to learn about from this group.

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.
This is how a book should look:

Even if this is a delayed response to the email that Jill had sent to me I am happy to be part of this group.
I come from Chennai which is the capital of Tamil Nadu, a South Indian state. India is a beautiful country of vast culture and history. I have always been fascinated by history ever since my seventh grade teacher introduced me to medieval history. The spark is now a mini-fire.
I am sure that I will benefit greatly from being part of this group. I look forward to a fruitful time with all of you.
Besides that , I would like to read more Historic Fictiion and gain more insight on world affairs (not politics).

You have a impressive professional life, I must say. Congratulations on all your success.
Please take a mome..."
Hi, Many thanks. Will do.

Hi Tami - let me take out those segments that are considered self promotion for you or for other groups, blogs, etc. We do not mention other groups - we try not to advertise or promote or spam - and we are very conscientious about those things.

Welcome to the club, Euge. Great that you are studying history with a plan to teach. There is so much to learn from the past.
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:
