Thanks for adding my book to your list. I really appreciate it.Please follow me on Twitter @JT_MATHIS.Have a great day!
I see you have Millard Fillmore by Robert Rayback on your shelf. I wanted to invite you to the Chronological Read of America History Group. http://www.shelfari.com/groups/34700/about. Hope you can drop in and participate.
The History Non-Fiction Group is voting for the Oct-Dec Quarterly Group read. We've had several interesting books nominated. Please take a look and vote if you'd like to join in.
The History Non-Fiction Group is set to read The Linguist and the Emperor: Napoleon and Champollion's Quest to Decipher the Rosetta Stone by Daniel Meyerson for the Jul-Sep quarter. This book discusses the two men whose lives intersected over a love of all things Egypt and led to Campollion solving the mystery of the language on the Rosetta Stone. The book is fairly short - only 271 pages including the Author's Note at the end - and easy to read so it's a good book for the first ever quarterly read. Please join us if you're interested.Jan
Just popping in to announce that nominations for the History Non-Fiction Group are now closed and the Voting link is up. Please check it out and vote for one of the nominated books for the Jul-Sep Quarterly Group Read.Jan - Group Admin
