I also made you a moderator. Do you like your title? I can change it if you want. I had thought of putting you as "Moderator - Second World War Books" but I don't know which one you'd like better, Second World War, or Napoleon Wars.

Hi Geevee! Thanks you so much for joining and the kind words. Really means a lot to me. I'd like to make you a moderator, too. What subject would you like for your title?

Hmmm. How about "Moderator - Second World War Books"? or "Moderator - First World War Books". Looking at your shelves, it seems like you like those subjects. If not, I'll pick a different one.

WWI looks a good one - I think you'll get a WWII one from that group easily.

Kressel Housman Hi. I'm Kressel. I'm an Orthodox Jew, so I'm very curious if our standards of "wholesomeness" will be the same. The truth is, I'm not so strict about it, but I'll take all the suggestions I can find. I'm also a member of the History Book Club.

Jeanette (jj5again) I'm joining because I like your photo guessing thread and love historical fiction when it's accurate parsing with reality.

Knew the first Chicago picture right away by the sidewalk clue.

My name is Jeanette.
