ARCHIVE TWO: PLEASE INTRODUCE YOURSELF ~

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 the book you mentioned should look:

My name is John Bicknell. I enjoy the wide sweep of history, mostly Anglo-American, with a specific emphasis on 19th century U.S. history.

I'm currently a second year History undergraduate student. I've loved History since childhood and through a unique set of challenging circumstances finally found myself able to pursue it academically.
Looking forward to meeting and having discussions with other people with a love of History.
Cheers!

We have a naval history topic:

Hi group. I am Brian Dorsey. I am a retired Naval Officer and currently work as a nuclear engineer with a Naval Shipyard (I know odd for a History buff). The day job aside, I have a B.S. in History from Oregon State and a Master of Social Science focusing on US and Native American History from Syracuse. In my spare time I teach the occasional history class as an adjunct instructor for Central Texas College and Vincennes University.

Good evening! (Time is provisional in central England...) I am a reader of historical fiction of the late Tudor period. I did my PhD in aspects of Jacobethan literature (boring). I'm glad to meet you all.

https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/...


I am Ryan Goodrich, a disabled and retired U.S. Marine, who, I guess you can say, has been a part of recent history. Although, we all make the world spin and, hopefully, leave our mark, right? I'm a history lover, especially anything to do with human origins, Leonardo DaVinci, flight history, the roaring 20's, WWII, or the recent Iraq/Afghanistan conflicts (which I am a veteran of). I have a degree in English (Summa Cum Laude), I am an IT manager at the University of Oregon, I read often, I dabble in some creative pen-whipping, and I have a wife of four years, son, and another little one on the way. I am hoping to change history with my creative outlook by spinning new perspectives on the current conflicts which plague the U.S. at this time. Hopefully, we will all enjoy each others' company and share new ideas and great reads together! Thanks for having me!
Ryan Goodrich
(Sgt., USMC, ret.)

I`m Finn. I live in Oslo, Norway, where I work for the City of Oslo, with art and universal design i school buildings. I am also a part time student at the University of Oslo, working on a Masters Degree in.... tada..... History... :D
Hello everyone,
My name is Seth. I'm a Los Angeles based composer and spend a great deal of my time trapped in LA's infamously bad traffic where I'm excitedly listening to audio books and podcasts on an assortment of historical subjects.
Being from a historically rich area of New York (Hudson Valley), I grew up loving early American history. Nowadays, I love delving into any area of the past and discovering the peoples, cultures, and events that preceded us.
So, with that in mind. I'm very excited to join a community of like minded people!

I also read a lot of mystery fiction in college - Sir Arthur C. Doyle, Sidney Sheldon, Ted Dekker, Dan Brown etc.
I'm currently serving as a youth corper in my country (Nigeria) as a teacher. Afterwards, I'd be moving to the USA hopefully for further studies in economics.
My parents are always worried that my reading habits and range since I was young is dangerous....that I might get caught up in the world of books and lose a sense of reality. I do not think this is the case though. I'm still very much in touch with reality.
Enough talking though, I'm happy to be a part of this group. I trust I'll always be part of the collective learning process,

books always teach and inspire me so i love inspiring books..books are like g.f best friend mom and dad everything...reading books its worship for me.. Indian history and cosmos books i love to read its gald to join the large group readers of the world..any suggestion for inspirational books and world history...thank you..

Thank you for accepting me into the group. I hope to find recommendations on historical novels.
