    Remember the Alamo! I do remember my school field trip there. I have been there a few times since. The River Walk nearby is cool, too.

    Good morning. Just finished reading War by Bob Woodward. It contributed to my understanding of what happened in Israel and Ukraine. Yes it is a very superficial view but it is a very good starting point.

    I can’t believe it’s almost November. I would love to visit that alamo. I’ve never been west of Nashville except when I flew to Las Vegas and had a layover in Dallas. I know I need to get out more!!!!You have been busy. I would love to read the first 3 books. How are all
    The puppies doing.

    Thank you for highlighting My Dear Boy. Will read for sure. Dr. Holzer’s ‘brother’ was Dr. Norman Bethune, who left his beloved Canada to work and die in China.

    The Last Island sounds so good. It's so hard to believe that a place like that exists in our time. That's a beautiful cover on Emperor of the Seas. Nazis At the Watercooler sounds good too. Glad you got home safely from your trip. Great photography. I live a little ways north of there. There's so much history. I love the oak tree. I have a book titled The Last Day by Kenneth Brown. It's about the time leading up to the fighting and then the battle. In the back is a list of the men who died and what state or country they were from. I've been reading a lot of historical fiction about women during WWI and WWII. It seems like we don't hear enough about the things they did during the wars and the important things they did.

    More on my TBR! "Nazis at the Watercooler" looks especially interesting to me. Hope work busy season is winding down for you!

    Peg, I am currently reading Fates and Traitors, hostorical fiction about John Wilkes Booth. I am loving this look at his life. I am wondering if it was you who suggested this book.

    I struggle so much watching your videos!! You always break my book budget!!!!! The last video caused me to buy some very new, very interesting books on history.
    I’d be interested in The White Ladder, if you are passing it on. 📕 I’m always looking for narratives that give food for thought (or deeper meaning to the quest).

      It's yours! Send me an email at my business address (it's under the About tab) with your shipping address, and I'll send out to you. It's the least I can do for breaking your book budget. 😉

    I recently read a middle grade graphic novel of The Hiding Place by Chosen books. It was really good. The Last Island sounds interesting. It makes me think of Jim Elliott.

    Wonder if Gilder changed the book any since being published back in 2012 with a slightly different tagline and a foreward then by Senator Joe Liberman? Would be interesting to read both copies.

    Another great list. I am curious- do you have any recommendations on books about angels/ guardian angels, especially a Lutheran view? I have been looking and it’s sure a niche if ever there was one. lol.
    Always look forward to your vids!

    • @TheHistoryShelf
      @TheHistoryShelf  2 місяці тому +1

      Hey Sherri! Let me look into that…I can’t recall anything off hand, but I’m sure there are books out there on the topic. I assume Martin Luther had something to say on the matter. 😁

    Love the pictures! Kind of jealous, to be honest. Although I did share a few snaps from my "exotic" sojourn in the river bottom on Voxer. Also slapped together a lazy video featuring my soon to be failed ambitions for end of year reading. Whee!
    The books sound great, as always. I've put myself on a pretty strict buying ban after the Princeton sale, but mental notes are being made. Love the Oct. 7th and Gaza idea. And a Roxie appearance always makes the sun shine brighter. 😉
    Take care, and have a good one!

    I really want to read more historical nonfiction and fiction, yet I am always turned off by my own inability to pronounce names of people and places. =(

    Hello!^.^ I rarely comment but listen religiously :) "Chin-geese" would be the closest to how Mongols pronounce it^.^

      Thank you for being such a devoted listener...I don't know how you do it. ;) THANK YOU for the pronunciation help! I always appreciate when viewers teach me things.
