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, I'm Sarah. I usually like to read a variety of fiction and nonfiction, but recently found that I really enjoy reading about history and listening to podcasts. I'm here to get some good suggestions and give back input when I find something great to read. Right now I am interested in British history.
Hello! I'm Kate and I live in Virginia. I'm originally from the Boston area and I have strong ties to New England. My particular areas of interest are history relating to the Boston area (particularly the Colonial Era and Revolutionary War), the Victorian Era, and the Plantagenets. I also enjoy books about the World Wars and historical biographies, and I have an interest in medical history. I'm currently reading
by Sarah Helm, which, so far, is the most remarkable books I've read in quite some time.
Hello everyone. I fell in love with history at grammar school thanks to some inspirational teachers and went on to do a degree in history at Westfield College, University of London 1974-77. They were the best years of my life and although I have never earned a living from history my love of the subject has remained. At university I studied mostly medieval and early modern English and European history. However I have lived in China since 2004 and my interests have widened to include Chinese and modern world history. At the same time I have embarked on researching my family history mostly in Scotland. I am becoming particularly interested in the interaction between individuals such as my ancestors and the bigger historical picture of the times in which they lived.Historical resources in English are limited in China, as you might expect, and e books are now essential brain food, so I am delighted to be able to join a group of like minded people. For the same reason I am also actively exploring MOOCS. I have recently completed a course on Controversies around the British Empire with Futurelearn.com and next week I am going to start another course on the First World War.
Hello and welcome Sarah, Kate and Neil. We are glad you joined us here at the history lovers place to be!! Teri has given you the basics to get started on what we hope will be active participation in the book recommendations/discussions. Enjoy!!
Hello hello - just wanted to introduce myself. I wish I could make reading for the sole purpose of acquiring knowledge a career. Haven't had as much opportunity over the last year or two to soak up new books but did get some solid Audible time in.Really looking for recommendations on history explored through the lens of biology, psychology, etc. Anything on pre-agrarian or indigenous peoples societal structures would be wonderful.
So glad you joined us, Robin. This is the place to be for the history lover. Please join right in and happy reading!
I like learning history mainly about people/nations.

Hello HBC,My name is Emma and i've just completed my MA in Classical Studies. I am, of course, interested in the Ancient World, but my BA focused on Eastern European history, which I love (especially the Hapsburg Monarchy). Interest number three is the Medieval period. However, my aim in joining this group is to expand my knowledge outside of these areas.
Looking forward to talking to you all.
Hi, and thank you for the chance to join the History Book Club community. I am 49 years old, with two History degrees, and live in York, England. My interests are mostly in British history, especially post-1750, with an emphasis on social history and radical politics. I look forward to making some new friends who like a good old-fashioned debate or just a chat.
Hi everybody, and thanks for the warm welcome. I love History, have bachelors and masters degrees in it, and having been teaching it in Baltimore for ten years.

Hi, I’m Joy. I’m very passionate about reading and am excited about learning more about history! I am admittedly not very well read on history and am hoping to expand my knowledge. I am happily looking forward to finding many great historical suggestions from this wonderful group on where to start and what to read. Thank you for accepting those of us who are new to studying history into your group of very knowledgeable members!
I am Lou Grumet. Live in NYC. Have JD and MPA. Love all types of history, read at least one biography or history a week. Especially like NYC topics, Genghis Khan and his amazing family, Zoroastrianism and Iroquois stories, and the history of Broadway
¡Hola! this is Hernando from Bogotá. I am 31. My favourite genres are history, and historic novels and fiction. Also enjoy biographies. I speak Spanish, English, Portuguese and French AND am currently learning (with great patience) Mandarin. I mention that because for me it is a fabulous experience to read books in their original language. Well, within the topic of history, I am particularly interested in European 'Middle Ages' (formation of modern cities, languages and nations), Modern International History (18th century and forward), and most recently Chinese History. I hate historiography and prefer a more economic scope in books. Cheers!!

Welcome Joy and Lou to HBC. Here we tackle a variety of history topics. I hope you find what you like and become active members of the group. Enjoy, and if you have any questions, we the Mods are at your disposal.
Bienvenido Hernando. I see that you are a neighbor of mine (I'm from Croatia) despite being from Colombia. However did you end up here? :) Anyway, I hope you enjoy your time here and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
Hi guys, my name is Joanne and I'm living in Cork, Ireland. I love to read books of all genres but have to admit my interests lately have brought me more towards historical non-fiction and fiction. I have a great love of Irish and UK history, but more recently have found myself reading a lot about Japanese and Chinese history. This was brought about by my love of Haruki Murakami, Yoko Ogawa and Banana Yoshimoto's books. Now I'd like to broaden my horizons and learn more about the Israel/ Palestine conflict and its roots, so if anyone has any recommendations on that front it would be much appreciated. Ideally I'd be looking for non-biased accounts but I do realise that's probably going to be difficult to find!
Thanks in advance everyone and I really look forward to contributing to the group in any way I can.

Hello everyone,My name is Randall. I am from Australia and I'm a writer. I have a deep love of historical fiction, primarily between the 1300 and 1700s (folklores and witchcraft being areas of particular interest). I haven't read massive amounts of historical fiction however I want this to change. Hopefully here I can find some good recommendations and discussions. I really look forward to meeting all of you!
Hi PeopleMy name is Frankie. Frankie Kam. People call me Frankie Kam.

Hi, I'm Essannia, 28 years old. I am an accounting teacher. I love history in general but especially the 1800s and 1900s. I love reading about WW1 and 2.
Hi - my name is Walter. My interests are 20th Century history, particularly European and especially Eastern European. I'm also interested in literary history and art history, history of science and history of philosophy. Needless to say, literature, and art are also interests.I'm currently reading Black Earth by Timothy Snyder - I recommend pretty much anything written by Snyder and the late Tony Judt.
I will admit that a fair amount of my reading is actually listening to audiobooks. With much of the history that I listen to, I subsequently get the books in order to refer back to them.
A warm welcome, Frankie Kam.....great introduction and we are glad that you have become part of the community. Here are a some topics that may catch your attention.World War II
Military History
World War I
There are many other topics that also may be of interest to you.

hi, I'm Becky. I'm from Connecticut, and I recently started reading presidential bios in order of service. It has recently branched off into just US history. I'm reading about the Panic of 1819 now.
I love Indian history, especially as it relates to the history of the Ghengus Khan family. What do you recommend reading?
Hi,My name is Steve Jones. I live in Australia but was born and raised in New Zealand. I am a school teacher.
I grew up reading about dinosaurs and war (thanks to my father's WW2 magazine collection). I really started loving history when I was about 12 and completed a school project on WW1. Since then. I have loved reading military history books. I am also interested in the history of the USSR, the USA in the 20th and 21st century.

I live and work in France as a research assistant in Medieval French linguistics and litterature, thus naturally my field of interest covers Middle Ages and history in general.

Hi, I'm Lizzie and I'm a history graduate based in the UK.

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.
