Hello everyone and Happy New Year,

My first book of the year is The Shaping of America by Page Smith, which will be read at breaks at work.

I goal is to read at least 40 books this coming year and you can check out which books from my ever expanding shelves I hope to get through this year in my 2025 Reading Plan post linked below.

>1 mattries37315: Happy New Year and new thread! You have an impressive reading plan lined up. I'm intrigued with your selections especially in history and philosophy/political science. I enjoy those last two topics very much, but mostly in college - group discussions were fun.

Enjoy! I'll look forward to your reviews!

>10 terriks: Thanks. Yeah, it took me a while to get the two history series whole from the used book store I visit every month. And it made sense to read them chronologically together as I go through a history of the United States.

>11 Karlstar: Thanks.

>12 mattries37315: Absolutely. I prefer a chronological approach when reading history, too. Seems easier to gel names, dates, places together as time periods pass.

Happy reading!
