I read a huge amount of children's literature with my daughter so that is mostly what you'll see from me here. Finding high q...

I think a bit of both really. I think he also reads to escape and, for him, anything post 1700 feels too recent/familiar (much like the post 1950s feel for us). He also has his degree in history and even went on to get his Master's (specializing in French Revolutionary history). Although, it's qu... more »

I'm with you Susanna - I don't read much post-1950s - with a few exceptions. I think that 'One Crazy Summer' (set in 1968) looks awfully good! My husband is also an avid reader of history, but for him it's not history before like 1700! He loves the *really8 ancient stuff! more »

group: Past Tense Past Tense discussion: Why read about history?
I would say that a large part of my historical reading is for escape. I just don't find a lot of contemporary fiction appealing (with the exception of reading about cultures/places vastly different from my own - 'The Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian' comes to mind - a fantastic book!). ... more »

I am excited about the group feature - as it was my favorite feature in goodreads and the one I was saddest to let go of. I am optimistic that the group features will continue to improve. I'm still trying so hard to personalize/customize my blog/profile, but even with all the fantastic tutorials, ... more »

group: Past Tense Past Tense discussion: Favorite historical periods?
I was a history major in college and never could settle on a favorite period. I took a wide variety of courses from Women's History to Mesoamerican History, from Ancient Roman History to early American History. I think my favorite course, however, was one I took in the English department - The His... more »

What a fun group! When I'm not reading with my daughter,99 times out of 100 you'll catch me reading historical fiction. It is definitely my preferred genre. (Next, would probably be sci-fi/fantasy) Basically, I read to escape the contemporary world with my reading! Your list of eras is really ... more »

I like it here. Still having a hard time letting go of goodreads. Gonna give myself a deadline to delete my account (maybe this Friday?) I was there for 5 years and got super attached - made so many great lifelong connections So scared of missing or losing something (or someone) when I do the BIG... more »
