Joanna Loves History Books!
Canada
Приєднався 14 жов 2011
My name is Joanna, I'm an historian, and these are the history books I think you'll love.
My favourite history books to talk about are history of science & technology and history of disability, but let's be honest: history is where all the cool things happened and I'm eager to read and talk about as much of it as possible. So if you have a history book you think I should read, let me know!
Ask me about my dogs.

Demonic Possession in History 📚 Booktube Clickbait Title: Shocking Canadian Facts that HIT DIFFERENT
Did Canada have witchcraft trials? What was different about demonic possession New France in the 17th Century? Are millers really evil? Check out this discussion of The Possession of Barbe Hallay: Diabolical Arts and Daily Life in Early Canada by Mairi Cowan to find out more!
In this video I also talk about how fun it is to teach about the complexities of history and explain what we're doing doing those fun research montages they show you in the movies.
I had some problems with the new light reflecting harshly off my glasses so enjoy some very emotive b roll designed to cover that mistake! (Lesson learned!)
In this video I mention:

I'm a Canadian history who loves talking about the history that fascinates me. From the Caraquet Riots to Space Archeology, from demonic possession in Quebec to the history of seances as a way of uplifting women's voices, from blind children's letters to the Queen's goldfish, I have learned so much from reading and I want to share it all with you! This is my introduction to the booktube communi...
I looked forward to this video more than I looked forward to the videos by the minecraft creators I follow.
I hope it was worth the wait! (Sorry about the French)
Just found your channel via MJ, i love history too and enjoyed the video 🎉
Thank you so much! I'm really enjoying having a space to talk about the reading I'm doing. My next one is going to be about Space Archeology!
@ Sounds like fun!
I can't hear the word mill and not think of 'The Miller's Tale' and what he did thunderously in Absolon's face.
I haven't read that since the 90s! It's a shame more people don't read it, it's very fun.
@@JoannaLovesHistoryBooks ;)
Thanks for teaching us a little about witchcraft in New France.
Thank you for watching it! This book was a lot of fun. With your project on colonial history do you have a suggestion on what I should read next?
@JoannaLovesHistoryBooks I guess that depends on what you're interested in. If you haven't read The Devil in the Shape of a Woman by Carol F Karlsen, it's about who was most likely to be accused or make accusations of witchcraft. Our Beloved Kin by Lisa Brooks is a history of King Philip's War, trying to reconstruct an indigenous perspective. I haven't read this yet, but Talking Back: Native Women and the Making of the Early South by Alejandra Dubcovsky sounds good.
@ these sound great! Thank you!
It's... Suspicious.... How much I enjoyed this video 😜
lol Thank you so much! I have to admit when I was editing it I laughed every time I said "suspicious."
Really excited to have discovered your channel, I also engage a lot with history, classics & mythology, so am keen to follow your bookish adventures. Hope your channel is a booming success. We can't have too much history.
@@apoetreadstowrite thank you so much, Phillip! I’m just editing my second video now and hoping folks will get excited about seventeenth century Canada!
@@JoannaLovesHistoryBooks: I'm in!
After I left grad school, I took a couple of years off from reading non-fiction, especially academic books. When I returned to it, being able to just read a history book without having to underline and take notes because I was looking for very specific information was so refreshing. I had to teach myself how to read a book for grad school, and then had to relearn how to read it for pleasure. This is a great video Joanna! I'm looking forward to watching what you have in store :)
Thanks so much, Matthieu! I don't know if I'm ever going to really recover my ability to read again. So much of what I do is still pillaging the books for lecture content or looking for specific points. Just spending the summer reading mostly Nancy Drew I was still constantly thinking about notes and analysis. Grad school really does hurt your brain.
This is wonderful! You really make this approachable. Can't wait for more! ❤
Thank you so much!
Could listen to you talk for hours! Or in this case 35 minutes 😂❤️
Thank you Kennedy! You're so kind to say so. Remember, for every five likes a dog will appear in a video! Also next week is demonic possession and I'm so excited.
Kia ora from New Zealand and a fellow booktube newbie and historian of sorts [well, I wrote two books on the Age of Sail]. Subbed for support and I look forward to seeing your channel grow. Best, Mark.
Thanks Mark! I'm excited to talk about more fun history books I'm reading. Do you have any you'd recommend on the history of New Zealand?
@@JoannaLovesHistoryBooks The Penguin History of NZ, and 'Diggers, Hatters, and Whores' about the God rushes. Or any book on Maori history.
I tried to get a copy of Diggers, Hatters & Whores from my local bookstore but weirdly they did not have it. Who could imagine. But I'm going to see if the other one can order it in!
Hi, Joanna! I'm looking forward to hearing about all bookish things you want to share with us. From an oldie content creator to a newbie, welcome aboard. We're so glad to have you here! Make sure to check out the going BookTube reading event called Historathon. We break up all of history into four periods and read history according to the dates set aside for each quarter. There's a Disc*rd (can't type it out or my message will get automatically blocked) if you're interested in dropping in, chatting about books, and trading recommendations with others. We'd love to have you participate.
I saw that earlier and was thinking of participating! A lot of the folks I follow were talking about it. I'll track down the D-thing and check it out! Thanks for letting me know!
