in History Library started a discussion
Topic: Jesus and John Wayne
Almost done with this book and I think it touches upon some very important aspects of American past and present.
Topic: Inanna
I am not at all familiar with the epic of Gilgamesh, but I picked this book up because I like the author. Do you think I can just jump in blind, or would it be better to drop it until I’m more familiar?
Topic: It Was Vulgar and It Was Beautiful
Really impactful book about the activist art collective Gran Fury and the aids crisis.
Topic: My Brilliant Friend
I just picked this up at a library sale, and I’ve heard great things about it through booktube and booktok, but I was wondering if you had read it and enjoyed it? What are your thoughts, as everyone says it beautiful and amazing, but does give a lot of details?
Topic: Books
Hi, my name is Kaitlyn and I love to write, I thought it would be a great idea for there to be a group discussion where writers of all kinds can share their ideas/ thoughts/ opinions on any and all forms of books, podcasts, screen plays, or anything else that has to do with writing wether it's their own or someone else's. The link to the group will be down in the comments. Thank vou!!

Topic: What the River Knows
Everyone is sleeping on this book, 19th Century young debutant from Bolivia, makes her way to Egypt to find her missing parents, and Cleopatra’s tomb. It has an enemies to lovers (or rivals to lovers romance), great characters, and a fun adventure!
Topic: Vincent and Theo
I’m about to start this book—I just got it for Christmas— and was wondering peoples overall thoughts on it and is there anything to be aware of before jumping in? I’ve always been very fascinated with Van Gogh so I’m super excited to check this out!
Hi! I’m starting a book club newsletter! Book of the month, interviews with members, etc are included! https://likewise.com/groupinvites/gabbies_books_group_wFLi0SfgjR/byuser/The_Page_Turners
Topic: Princesses Behaving Badly
Anyone read this? Apparently about lady royals throughout history kicking some butt. Is this one of those #history reads that makes you want to learn more or just pumped up fluff?
Topic: The Mayfair Bookshop
This book includes info about Nancy Mitford and her sisters. Very interesting story about present day and WWII

What are peoples opinions on the Captivating history series? It keeps coming up when I search for historical topics that are a little more niche or hard to find, like a complete history of Hungary or Romania. I really value a well-researched and unbiased (I know this doesn’t always happen) historical narrative, preferably by a historian or someone with background in historical research. But I’ve never heard of the series until it recently came up in my Google searches.
I just started a group for daily book quotes, if anyone would like to join! 😊💜. Anyone can add quotes, and they can be as out-of-context as you please! ❤️📚 https://likewise.com/groupinvites/book_quotes_of_the_day_/byuser/genevieve_5
Hello all! Not a book ask/discussion, but if anyone is interested, I just published a website called Missing Pages, a free database & resource for educators/readers documenting over 70 under-researched American women writers who have been largely excluded from the lit. canon & classroom curricula because of historical sexism. If you’re interested, you can visit the site at missingpageslit.us and follow it on Instagram at @missingpageslit for updates & trivia! Thanks! ❤️📚
