Connie: A Memoir – by Connie Chung

Posted on October 8, 2024October 8, 2024 by Mark Lieberman

I was a bit skeptical about reading this book, as I wasn’t sure I would enjoy her story. I had had no clue her parent’s marriage was arranged. I had no clue who father was a spy in the Chinese government, and because of that, that is how her family was able to migrate to…

Inside the Park – by Andrea Williams

I got this one from Netgalley, so I can read and review it before it’s published. I chose this as the description looked interesting, it’s a story of a young baseball fan’s misadventures after getting locked inside a pro baseball stadium on the eve of the biggest game of the season. Timothy “Pumpsie” Strickland is…

Posted on September 24, 2024September 24, 2024 by Mark Lieberman

This book has been in my Want to Read list since May in Goodreads. I have never watched That 70’s Show, but I knew of his character he played. I was intrigued and wanted to learn more about him. Unlike a lot of other memoirs I have read (and, there are a lot), his life…

I have had this book in my Want to Read list on Goodreads since May, so I was eager to read it. I knew of Eric Roberts (by way of Julia Roberts, his younger sister). I had no clue his parents were at one point in his early life co-founded the Atlanta Actors and Writers…

The Last Manager: How Earl Weaver Tricked, Tormented, and Reinvented Baseball – by John W. Miller

Posted on September 16, 2024September 16, 2024 by Mark Lieberman

I got this book from Netgalley, so I can read and review it before it’s published. As I occasionally browse the Netgalley selections, I kept coming across this one, and I was intrigued, but kept scrolling past it. I mean, I knew of Earl Weaver, but didn’t want to be a part of a book…

The first Spenser book I read was in January of this year, and I just finished book 28 a few days ago! I am rolling along in his adventures, and am really enjoying them. I don’t care that for the most part, the plots are similar. I am looking forward to book 32 as that…

Posted on September 3, 2024September 3, 2024 by Mark Lieberman

I needed a break from the fiction thriller books I have been reading, and this one filled that void with a lot of laughs from me. I have read a few books and seen some movies about the National Lampoon, so I knew who Matty Simmons was. If you are a fan of the movie…
