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:

Welcome everyone, thanks for joining!
I tend to read a lot of historical novels, most of them out of the period I know best, medieval. I'm looking forward to expanding my reading base.
I'm Travis. 14 year history teacher, favorite is U.SHistory and biographies, outdoor guy, love to travel,
favorite book other than the Bible is Truman.
I'm Mike; I'm English but currently live in New York, and I've learned how to read a heavy hardback book with one hand while straphanging on the subway. Particular interests: 20th century history, especially but not only Europe, and history of aviation. I'm also interested in biographies and journalism that reveal something about the time they were written.

Hello, my name is Mike. I'm no history buff, but I've enjoyed a few history books lately and I'm looking for a more. Most of what I've read has been American history but I've also enjoyed some books on Irish history and the history of science.

Hi! I'm Sarah :) I'm just about to graduate with a BA in Criminology and Forensic Science, and then I'll be moving to Denmark in a couple months! So, naturally I'm interested in the history of crime and punishment, the Vikings and I also have a soft spot for the Tudors and Medieval times. I've actually been researching the history of crime and punishment in the small region where I live, and I hope to publish something about it one day!I'm currently reading about Lady Jane Grey, the 9 days queen.
I hope I can participate in some of your challenges soon!

Hello respected members,My name is Prasenjit Dasgupta, PD, and I live in Ghaziabad, Delhi/ NCR, India.
Since my childhood, I loved History but it was actually nurtured and bloomed when I met Late Mr. B. N. Khanna, my History teacher, at Oak Grove School (1985 to 1991), Mussoorie. To me he remains the best teacher ever.
Thank you Sir!
RIP
PD
Hey guys, this is my first group on here. I just turned 21 and have always had a massive interest in history. Im so fascinated by life and I feel as I am growing up in a weird time, all this information out there in 2014 its so hard to pick and choose what I should study next. I am from South Carolina, but have interests of all over the world. GoodReads is a great site I discovered when I was 18. I hope by joining this group I find some more interesting books/topics to cover! Thanks and hope everyone has a wonderful, powerful week.
Zack

Thanks and see you around the site.
Hi--I'm mid 50s, a lawyer in the United States; I often work with Asian and Arabian clients. Voracious reader, especially when traveling. Particularly interested in naval history, German history, economic history. Looking forward to seeking new, recommended titles.
Welcome Nooilforpacifists to the place for all things history. Let me get you started with a link to our topic on Naval Historyhttps://www.goodreads.com/topic/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:
