Hello, Ashley......we are so glad you joined us. It appears that you have an eclectic taste in books so why not browse the home page and find some topics that will be of interest.History Book Club Home Page
There are 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! My name is Brad and I live just south of the Kansas City Metro area. I'm a Special Education teacher and have been in the profession for 21 years. Since I was a young child I have always enjoyed reading about the past and the great people who lived before us. Especially enjoy reading about the great men who have become President of our wonderful nation, the USA. I've started a collection of presidential biographies that I have read. Also enjoy reading historical fiction, Christian fiction, and religion genres. Thanks for allowing me to be a part of this group
Although I have had a Goodreads account for the last 4 years, it's been the last 3 months that I have actively used it.
Hi all and Happy New Year! I'm Chelsea and I'm really excited to be a part of this group. I love history, all of it. I'm more familiar with WWII era European history. One of my (many) goals for 2016 is to expand my knowledge, so I'm looking forward to reading books on other historical topics. Any and all recommendations would be welcome!
Hello, everyone! My name is Mihai, 34 yo former professional cyclist, journalist & PR from Bucharest, Romania, now working in the corporate world. As an author wannabe, I'm primarily interested in ancient Rome and Greece, especially in 2nd century AD, and to a lesser degree in WW1.
Hello group! My name is Tabitha and I have been teaching history for about 20 years here in Nevada. Every year as my students study the different topics in class, I try to read a book that matches that unit to give the students some more detail and in depth information. Some years I am busier than others and don't get to as many books as I would like, and other years I do a decent job keeping up with the class!
During my breaks I usually read more current historical books from the timeline I just won't get to in class. Or from a subject matter other than my classes. Seventh and Eighth grade American History can be limiting somewhat.

Thanks for welcoming me to the group, Vicki! I'm familiar with the book/author feature, since I am already active on the Romania group here on Goodreads. I'm glad that I'm in a good company of history lovers and I hope to learn as much as I can contribute to this friendly community.
Hi!I'm Linda. I''m new to Goodreads, so just trying to get used to it all! I run a blog and am looking forward to contributing to this great community!
Dear fellow readers, My name is Barbara Ulfman. I live in an small community in the Netherlands. I have always been interested in history (more specific Italian renaissance and modern history) I read as much as I can. Sometimes it's a challenge to find spare time (with two children, a job and some running goals). Last year I became a member of Goodreads. Until now I was a bit of a passive member. But I'd like to participate more, to explore new topics and find out about the opinions of the groupmembers....
Hello everyone! I'm here to introduce myself and let you know something about me! Well, my name is Carolina Sampaio, 18 years old, from Salvador, Bahia, Brazil
This city is called the "Land of Carnival and Beaches" here in Brazil, but I do not like this stereotype... It's not like that.
I'm a little girl who wants to know about the human and society, about the growth and declines of power and territories throughout the history and understand how we got here in 2016. Well, I have a long way to go, but I'll like the walk!
Cheers!!!
Hi!My name is Mareike and I'm from Germany. I'm most interested in British, French and Scandinavian history. Furthermore I love books written in the 1920s and 30s, especially books by Scott Fitzgerald :)
Can you recommend any good books (not more then 1000 pages) about French history up to 1900?
Best wishes!
Hello, my name is Jim from Memphis, TN, and history, especially military history, is one of my interests. World War Two, specifically the European Theater, is my favorite topic, but any history topic can interest me. I recently became interested in the American Civil War after visiting the Gettysburg battlefield. We are planning on visiting Normandy later this year where I will be able to make my dream of visiting the DDay invasion beaches come true.
Hi, my name is Martin, I'm from Switzerland. I'm especially interested in "big picture" non-fiction - right now I'm reading Civilization: The West and the Rest - and books about church history. When it comes to fiction, I'm still figuring out what I actually like... historical thrillers about WWII and later periods maybe?

I'm Larry and live in Northern Virginia. I am interested in European history, East Asian history, American history (especially the early colonial period), and the history of technology. ) I also like fiction, especially mysteries.) I have a Ph.D. in economic history and am retired from the U.S. government. I have a lot of time to read when we aren't watching our two granddaughters. After watching them, I sometimes don't have much energy left for reading, but that's quite alright!
Howdy all. I'm Ty and I live in East Texas. I'm a lifelong history buff -- mostly 19-20th century military history. I occasionally drift into the history of "big things" -- the Panama Canal, transcontinental railroad, Suez Canal, etc. Have a B.S. in History; stopped working on my PhD and went to law school instead.
Hello! My name is Melanie and I am 23 from Melbourne, Australia.
I finished my degree in Archaeology and Advanced Japanese a few years ago, currently work in Administration, and have continued reading widely in archaeology and Japanese history (Meiji, Edo, Jomon). Especially partial to books on ancient battle tactics and strategies, have a soft spot for the Byzantine Empire, and enjoy the resurgence of World War code breaking novels and movies.
Nice to meet you all :)
Hi my name is Pam. I am currently living in Valley Center California but originally from Orlando Florida. I love reading and want to someday write my own story. History is a family genre for me. My youngest brother loves African, civil war, and revolutionary war stories along with alternative history stories plus he is in the process of becoming a history teacher. My oldest brother who lives in Hong Kong loves European and Asian history. Myself I love ancient Rome, Egypt and English history (totally love Tudor England) Hope to find new history stories to read and to share
Hi Liz. I love Native American history too. Love the fiction novels of Michael and Katherine Gears (People of the wolf series) and Clan of the Cave bear series.
Hi, I am Annegret. I am 55 years old and I am living in Germany. As a book lover I am always interested in the history behind the stories. I like to read biographies and about history. I think this group is a good place for my interests.
So glad you joined us, Annegret..........this is the place to be for the history lover. Since you haven't decided what era of history might become your favorite, why not browse the home page at the link below for some ideas.History Book Club Home Page
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.
This is how books that you mention should look:
