As with most if the other introductions I have read, I too am new to the online book talk community. I am from a small town in Tennessee, which prides itself on being the "Friendly City." I am a recent college grad with a degree in biology and now struggling with the eternal question of what to do with my life. Thus, I am working in a field totally different from my education. As far as my literary interests are concerned, I tend to gravitate towards reading historical non-fiction. However, I gain insights from every type of book I read. I look forward to sharing in and discussing thoughts with all of you!

Hello! What field are you working in now, and what was your favorite field in biology?

Hello Katelyn, welcome to Booktalk!

I read historical fiction too, that is when I can find books that are not a love story with the history part as a mere backdrop.
I love James Michener-- serious info, no nonsense or romance. I'm not against historical fiction which includes a love story-- there are a few books like this on the list I gave about "My books in French".

I find that I like Philippa Gregory who wrote The Other Boleyn Girl and The Constant Princess.

Welcome!

Hello, I am actually work in the commercial and construction lending department of a bank. I found freshwater ecology to be by far the most interesting field during my coursework.
