I have been reading with the DearReader online book club for several years. Recently, the Friends of the Library agreed to sponsor the club through the Pember Library website / blog. I just finished reading the nonfiction selection for the week, Write it when I’m gone : remarkable off-the-record conversations with Gerald R. Ford by Thomas M. DeFrank. Over five days, I was able to read the first 19 pages of the book and get a feel for whether or not I would like to finish it.
Ford is interesting because of his unique position as the only unelected president of the United States. I realize that even though I lived through those years, I didn’t really understand what was happening. I was a teenager, after all, and there were certainly more interesting things in the world than politics! I would like to read more of this book and perhaps gain some insights into that period of our history.
I definitely want to hear other people’s opinions of the books they might have read through DearReader this week. Reply to this post or send me an email.
The books that will be featured next week are :
Man vs. Weather by Dennis Diclaudio, nonfiction
Washington’s Lady by Nancy Moser, good news
Dead is a State of Mind by Marlene Perez, teen
Roastbeef’s Promise by David Jerome, fiction
Nice Guys Can Get the Corner Office by Russ Edelman, Tim Hiltabiddle & Charles Manz, business
Captain Wentworth’s Diary by Amanda Grange, romance
Murder on Bank Street by Victoria Thompson, mystery
