Hi! It's Mich NovElle here, joining in the club. I have been an avid history buff for most of my life. My interest in history bleeds over into historical fiction. My main area of interest is Great Britain from 1914-1945. I had the opportunity to live in England during a study-abroad semester in college and would go back there in a heartbeat. (Actually, I like reading about all of Europe during that period.) I look forward to connecting with other history enthusiasts.

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'll go by one of my nom de plumes, Rhedyn, in the discussions. I'm an extreme bibliophile, and also enjoy writing. I'm a Texan, have an extreme addiction to chickens (as pets,) and a student, so I may or may not have time to participate in everything. My favorite books are History, Historical Fiction, Biography, and the Classics. I especially love books set during the French Revolution, as this chaotic event allows us to see more about the character(s) than any other. My favorite book, currently, is

Good day everyone. Thank you for letting me join the group. My historical interests range from ancient Rome and Greece to the 20th century. I look forward to some interesting discussions and recommendations.
Hello my name is Gavin Lee and I'm interested in learning the history of the world, Im not that knowledgeable yet about it but I'm always ready to learn!
Hi Everyone, My name is Sola. I’m an advertising practitioner and an innovation enthusiast. I love history because it's a window to a different world. There is no Time Travel Machine (yet) for us to see what life and society were like for the human race back then. So we watch documentaries, research online etc.
This way, we explore and come to understand eras we were never part of. I have never been in a war zone before, but I have come to appreciate its dynamics.
History is an adventure that allows me explore different cultures and ideologies. I’m glad to meet so many like-minded people here.

Welcome, Sola! Books are the best time-travelers.
Hello all, My name is Anthony and I love history. My passions is the revolutionary war, and early colonial times. I also enjoy WW2 books I look forward to meeting everyone on here
Hello, fellow historical history buff. I've enjoyed history ever since I was a young boy. I read voraciously, often several books at once, depending on my mood. I appreciate the effort the author goes to in order to tell a fine story. I especially like Civil War history, which is the subject of my first published novel, though I really enjoy so many aspects of history. 1. I especially enjoy strong literary pieces and stories with a twist.
2. I think historical fiction is the best way to keep history alive beside reenactors. Students today are so distracted by technology, especially the addictive games. We need to do all we can to keep history alive.
Very best wishes to all in the club.
I hope to find some good reads from the posts of other readers. Any era is fine, but it should have some literary merit, pleas.

Hi - I am new to the group, joining to motivate myself to read more in areas that I find interesting and worthwhile. I am a homeschooling mom living in a small desert community in the United States. Knowing that "the more things change, the more things stay the same," I find enjoyment in reading about the past and biographies, although I confess to not reading a lot in this area. Knowing there is much to learn from others, as well as the past, I hope joining this group will help me in my desire to read - and learn - more of what there is to learn from a study of history.
A warm welcome, Kimberley. History is a wonderful tool of learning and also great entertainment. I think you will like it here.How about starting off with a visit to our home page at the link below which contains all of our topics and there are many!!

Hi everyone i'm Ashique from India. Reading is not a passion for me and am not a good reader. but for the past year i tasted the sugar of reading as a reader and now am a reader and i love historiés a lot ...
Hi everyone! My real name is Axelle (but I like to go as Macha on social medias since she is one of my favourite character from the play The Three Sisters by Tchekhov but that is not my point). I am 20 years old and I come from baguetteland, also known as France. I love history and I actually studied it for one year at college. My favourite period is the Ancien Régime, which is the French name since I'm pretty interested in French History and it basically goes from 1515 to 1790s. I also really love European history (from that same time period) and I thought it would be great to join this group to share and discover new things to read !

Hi, it's Susan, currently living in England but originally from Hungary. I love reading, always did, studied literature at university and recently I took up book blogging, and now I found Goodreads. I'm hoping to share and discover new books about history here. Some of my favourite historical periods are the Ancient Greeks, the British Empire (I wrote my master's thesis on the the subject of the role of cricket in the formation of the national identities within the empire - and very interesting topic it was too), the age of exploration, Spain and the Spanish empire, the Mediterranean... er, perhaps I should stop here. :) I just love history, okay? :)

Thank you for the welcome, Vicki! I had a quick look at the first of your links and already found interesting comments in the Pre-Columbian history section. I will have to check it out more carefully later as well as learn how to use Goodreads properly - although I originally registered nearly a year ago, I wasn't actually using the site until today, so I'm a complete newbie at the moment (so apologies if I commit annoying mistakes).

Hello, my name is Harriet Johnston and I live in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. I enjoy reading and especially enjoy history and biography. My reading covers history from all regions of the planet. I am currently working my way through biographies of each of the US presidents and am presently reading about James Madison. I wish there were more books about Canadian history available, especially for the Kindle. Another area of focus is works on World War 2.

Since you said you enjoyed biographies, you might be interested in our ongoing discussions of the lives of Cornelius Vanderbilt and George Washington. Check out Book of the month thread for Cornelius Vanderbilt and Spotlight - Washington - A Life for George Washington.
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 and authors that you mention should look:
