[Krystal]

I guess i didnt add by Emma Donoghue. This is for the new bookclub i joined last month. I didnt like the previous book at all. It was by Mahbod Seraji. Although im not liking the style of the new book either. Im only 15% in according to the homepage.

Just a note the goodread app does not have the add feature.

[Donna]

I just started by Umberto Eco which has been on my shelves for quite a while. I'm ready for a nice thick book.

[Krystal]

sorry to interpret but i seem to be having trouble with the formating. every time i post there is a little _ by either the title or author photo? not sure what's going on.

I do not see it Krystal.

[Krystal]

hmm i'm seeing it look at msg 1672 between add and the bookcover of room there is a little _ and between by and the author photo for the 2nd book I posted.

[Bentley, Group Founder, Leader, Chief]

Krystal, another suggestion -

Do not place citations in the middle of sentences. Place them at the bottom of the post. It may be a goodreads formatting issue. We always tell folks to do that.

[Bentley, Group Founder, Leader, Chief]

Jennifer - regarding message 1675.

Incorrect citations - please correct to the following: (I know every group has their own standards or rules and these are ours)

by Leo Tolstoy

by Bram Stoker

[Jennifer]

and

Close Jennifer, great try. All you need is to add the author link after the author photos, and you are set to go.

Way to go Nancy.

Hi Nancy,
Thanks for asking. I am reading Jefferson: The Art of Power by Jon Meachem and enjoying it immensely. How about you?

[Alisa]

Lisa, glad you are enjoying the group and the book. Don't forget the citations in accordance with our guidelines.
by Jon Meacham

Thanks.

Just about finished with D.H.Donald's bio on Abraham Lincoln; plodding through Hugh Kennedy's When Bagdad Ruled The Muslim World; and just started Meacham's new bio on Thomas Jefferson.

Just picked a book out of my TBR stack and am loving it. It tells the history of the Oxford English Dictionary and the men who put it together; one of whom was in a mental hospital and was a murderer. It is fascinating.

by Simon Winchester

[Kathy]

Just started by Siddhartha Mukherjee. I really thought this would be dry but it is quite interesting. Of course, at 500 pages, it won't help me make 50 books on my challenge this year!

Nancy wrote: "Doing some cross reading before I start new book by Maupassant:

Great, Nancy, if a book does not have a cover, add the title:

[Othón A.]

Reading "Le Québex expliqué aux immigrants" by Víctor Amory.

[Alisa]

Othon, thanks for sharing your note. Maybe you tried as I did to find the links on goodreads to this book and/or author, and I could not find any. When that is the case (rare), make a note in your post in lieu of the usual citation format that we follow.
Thanks!

[Jerome, Assisting Moderator - Upcoming Books and Releases]

I've finally started

by John S.D. Eisenhower. Been looking forward to this for quite some time.

['Aussie Rick']

Let me know how you go Jerome as I purchased a copy after reading his account of General Winfield Scott in his book; Agent of Destiny but have not read it yet.

by John S.D. Eisenhower

[Ellie]

Team Of Rivals: The Genius of Abraham Lincoln

Oh my goodness! its so good! it's labelled as the book that inspired Obama and is well worth a read. it's well-written and encompasses the campaign of Abe Lincoln.
It's different to other books i have read considering Lincoln because it talks about his campaign, and covers even before he was a candidate for presidency, most start when he is in office.
***** 5 stars definitely!

[Bryan]

It is a great book, Ellie. Glad you enjoyed it.

Don't forget the citation:

Doris Kearns Goodwin

I am adding your recommendation to my TBR list, since I am a great reader of WWI history. It sounds fascinating. Thanks.

[Bill]

I'm reading Paris-1919. It's a great look at how the post-WWI world was created. Very detailed, objective, and well worth the time it takes to read it.

Paris 1919: Six Months That Changed the World

[Alisa]

Bill, don't forget the proper citation format.
by Margaret MacMillan
Have heard great things about it.

[Allen]

Hi -- I am brand new here. I am reading Rise to Greatness: Abraham Lincoln and America's Most Perilous Year. About 1/4 of the way through -- it's a marvelous book! I was completely hooked after reading about 10 pages.

[Steven]

While I'm reading by Jon Meacham for the group discussion, I'm also listening to by H.W. BrandsH.W. Brands while driving back and forth to work. Very good so far.

[Krystal]

Im reading by Shania Twain

[Christopher]

I'm almost finished with The Hopkins Touch: Harry Hopkins and the Forging of the Alliance to Defeat Hitler by David Roll. It's a pretty good insider view of the personal politics between FDR, Churchill, and Stalin and how Harry Hopkins, FDR's right hand man through much of the New Deal and WWII, played a key role in bringing these figures together.

[Jerome, Assisting Moderator - Upcoming Books and Releases]

Just finished by Lee Allen Zatarain, a fascinating read.

Now I'm starting by Gregory Johnsen

['Aussie Rick']

Let us know what you think of The Last Refuge as I'm sort of interested myself :)


by Gregory Johnsen

[Alisa]

Hi Allen! ~ I don't recal seeing your introduction on our introduction thread so if you have not done that yet please do when you have a chance. Just tell us a little about your interest in history and what brings you to our club.

We do have rules for how a book and/or author are cited when mentioned in a post. There is a thread titled 'mechanics of the board' that walk you through it, but basically we utelize the add book/author feature and post the book cover, author photo (when available) and author link. The book you mentioned would look like this.

by David von Drehle

It's easy once you get the hang of it but let us know if you need any help.

Thanks for sharing that book, I have heard great things about it.

[B. P.]

I have just finished up (the Paradise Lost section) by John Milton. I am continuing to read through by Fyodor Dostoyevsky and by John M. Barry. Still haven't figured out what else to add to my currently reading list.

Kenneth, make sure to use the add book/author feature in accordance with our guidelines when you mention a book. It helps everyone to see what you are referring to. I think the book you are reading is this one?

I am re-reading one of my all-time favorite books, "Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee" by Dee Brown. I've also started "The Day The World Ended At Little Big Horn" by Joseph M. Marshall III. Dee Brown Joseph M Marshall III

Since the third installment came along, I had to pick up the first volume in Manchester's biography on Churchill. I read it 20 years ago, but let's see how far I get:

Thanks for the "heads up" Bryan about the release of the third installment. Manchester is my favorite author and I'm glad to see this book finally got published.

What is more inspiring than reading an autobiography life story of a very humble American hero, who was not afraid of failure and in turn lived a well fulfilled life? I’ve ventured back to read an older publication “Rickenbacker”. The national race car driver and WWI “Ace of Aces” fighter pilot received much recognition and many awards including the Medal of Honor. In true testament to his character and ambition the man with a 7th grade education would later receive 15 doctorate degrees.

I know what you mean Bryan . . . I'm sure I read the first 2 vol. years ago . . . and donated them to the public library when I was done . . . now I just bought the 3vol. Set as eBooks . . . so I can finally finish reading all three. Pretty bad when when you start buying books a second time . . ;-)

[Bryan]

Lol, exactly Tomerobber. I had both volumes and then gave them away...and now I'm buying them again in ebook.

Currently reading by James D. Best. Even though this is considered a novel, there are a lot of exciting ideas to explore.
