PROPOSED BOOKS

Aug 2021: Book #5
Ordinary Grace by William Kent Krueger
I have a great book to recommend - it’s called “Ordinary Grace” and it has won 5 book club awards. The only thing is that it costs $12.99 on Amazon currently. Maybe I could fine a better price - or we’ll wait until the Bookmobile finds another lower price.
It is by William Kent Krueger and was written in 2013.
It got an Edgar award and 4 other awards: I was really impressed when I read it. The author is from Oregon.

Sep 2021: Book #6
The Martian by Andy Weir
The SPL currently has 12 copies of the book. Five are available. They also have 7 large print books available, 164 ebooks, and 11 audio books available right now. So I think it's a viable candidate for consideration.

Midnight in Chernobyl:
The Untold Story of the World's Greatest Nuclear Disaster (2019)
by Adam Higginbotham
A history of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster that occurred in Soviet Ukraine in 1986. It won the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Nonfiction in 2020. Higginbotham spent more than a decade interviewing eyewitnesses and reviewing documents from the disaster including some that were recently declassified. Higginbotham considers it the first English-language account that is close to the truth i.e. free of Soviet propaganda.

Dreams from My Father by Barack Obama.
Currently only about 8 regular books available at SPL, none of them large print and or e-books. But that might change by the time we get to it. I have a copy, myself, but haven't read it. It was given to me. This would give me a reason to pull it out.
