Hello everyone. I read some WW2 stuff, so I thought I would finally join the group.

In the past, I usually turned toward the European theater, but lately, I want to read more in the Pacific side.

Target Tokyo: Jimmy Doolittle and the Raid That Avenged Pearl Harbor

Indestructible: One Man's Rescue Mission That Changed the Course of WWII

We Band Of Brothers

Clear the Bridge!: The War Patrols of the U.S.S. Tang

Crisis in the Pacific

Welcome Bryan, great to have you join. Consider getting started on more bookshelves...this group tends to expand your TBR pile.

[Bryan]

Thanks AR and Mike!

I am already looking at the Pacific War thread and everyone has some great titles.

This group will surely grow my reading pile.

[Perato]

Hi everyone.
Just thought I occasionally scourge the group for new reads even though there's about 10 book in shelf waiting for reading and about 50 books in "wishlist". But you never know when those run out(most likely in 2023 by this pace).

Basically joined Goodreads to keep better track of my history collection that's becoming to go near 100.

Interest in the topic started around when I was 10 and was on and off until I finished my MA(early 2014) and got to reading for leisure again.

Mostly read in English that's not my native language. I usually buy all my books and rather not collect books that I won't read.

Hi Perato, nice to have you here. Be careful, we can bump that collection way above 100 if you give us a chance!

Hi Antonio and welcome to the group.

[Gary]

Hi Everyone
I have just discovered the existence of this group from my new GR friend Aussie Rick – cheers, Rick! Obviously, I was not paying attention before, lol.
I am looking forward to reading your comments and participating in the discussions.

I have recently finished Alan Moorhead's Desert War trilogy (Mediterranean Front, A Year of Battle and The End in Africa) which are beautifully written as well as packed full of fascinating information.
I'm not currently reading a WWII history book because I have a free book (novel) to review but I have a new book about D-Day just published last year that I am looking forward to reading soon – Normandy '44, D-Day and the Battle for France (James Holland), which contains updated information after the de-classification of historical records; I can't wait!

Best regards, All
Gary

[Jonny]

Welcome to the group Gary, hopefully you'll find Normandy '44 interesting. Be prepared for a lot if wallet emptying recommendations!

['Aussie Rick', Moderator]

Hi Gary, glad to see you here, I am sure you will find a few things of interest and hopefully have some fun along the way.

[Alex]

Hi gary. Welcome to the group and I also recently completed the Moorhead trilogy. As you say beautifully written and so absorbing and insightful

[Gary]

Thank you, Jonny, Aussie Rick and Alex for your warm welcome and comments. I feel at home already.
All the best

Welcome to the group, Gary.

[Theresa]

I'm Theresa. I've been on Goodreads and have been friends with several of you for a while now, but am just now getting around to joining the group. Live in Colorado. Married. Mother of three. Work full-time and read whenever I can. Only child of a career Army officer and grand-daughter of two WWII veterans. Huge passion for WWII and Holocaust history.

['Aussie Rick', Moderator]

A warm welcome to the group Theresa :)

Here is our thread on the Holocaust:

Great to have you join us Theresa! You’re in the right place to explore those topics.

Hi Theresa. Thanks for the friend request and welcome to this group. I am a new member too. If you ski, I hope you have snow in Colorado, if you're driving the children to school, I hope you don't.

I have a feeling that being members of this group may mean we incur considerable extra book expenses!

Welcome to the group, Gary."

Thanks, Marc. :-)

[Gary]

Thanks Manray9 and Mike.
On my previous post regarding The Tibbetts Story I should have said (sorry, I was in a hurry) that it's a great book and he led a fascinating life, and I recommend the book.
