Hello, Faithful Blog-Followers ;0) This is your Library Blog Maven. You are about to be treated to a special posting by our very own Haltom City Mayor Pro Tem, Darlene Hooks! We would like to thank Ms. Hooks for taking the time out of her certainly busy schedule to create this personal and inspiring post for our blog. Thank you so much!!
First Books I remember
reading:
“Nancy
Drew Mysteries” I was in Elementary School. I related to Nancy Drew
because I am an only child and imagined her to be an only child also. These
books are why I still enjoy a good Mystery.
Favorite Book:
“Listen
to the Warm” by Rod McKuen (I
have an autographed hard copy) It was a gift from a very special friend.
Best Book:
“Our Bodies Ourselves” A book by and
for Women. This book is full of valuable information about Women’s Health and
sexuality. I have given this book as a
gift to my daughter, her friends and my friends. I am so glad that I found this book, not only
for myself, but also for the women who I was able to shared it with . I would
still recommend it for all women.
Favorite Author:
I don’t have a Favorite; I like books that relate to what
I am experiencing at that time.
Books That I have read
recently:
“Clueless to Commissioned” by Kelly A Martin.
I enjoyed reading
this book for several reasons. Kelly
Martin is from Haltom City. She Graduated from Haltom High School and her
Mother is still a Haltom City resident.
She tells the story of her journey as a female Police Officer during her 15 years with the
Fort Worth Police Department. Her honest
approach to telling her story made for a very interesting and emotional book.
Her descriptions of events included places we are all familiar with, some in
our own neighborhoods. I enjoyed her book very much and would recommend it to
all readers. (my copy is autographed)
“Privacy means Profit” by John D.
Sileo.
I heard John Sileo speak at the TML Conference. I was so
impressed with his presentation of how to prevent Identity Theft and secure you
and your bottom line, that I bought his book for myself and several members of
my family. (my copy is autographed) He encourages
everyone to “Think Like a Spy”
“The Gift of Community” by Gary D. McCaleb. Reflections on the way we
live and work together.
I love the title
of this book. Here is a quote from Gary
McCaleb “ The reason this book is titled
the Gift of Community is because I am convinced that any sense of community we
enjoy comes as a result of the charitable spirit and generous nature of
others” For me, it was also good to read
that “we cannot ignore the problems of our community but we need to be sure
that in our community we are going to be spending some time in Celebration”.
What great advice!
I hope you all enjoyed this post as much as I did ;0)
Until Next Time,
Your Library Blog Maven,
