(Mostly) Non-Political Books for a Political Time

,

So… it’s 2024. A Presidential election year in my country, the US of A.

Everyone has opinions, everyone has feelings.

I got it. This isn’t really one of those blog posts.

Since I was in high school, I’ve read political memoir/ non-fiction from a purely educational/ informational place.

If you, like me, are interested in “political history” but not really wanting politics, I wanted to share my favorite recommendations that give insight into how the presidential elections and the White House work.

I can’t promise that there’s NO politics in these books (and I don’t know everyone’s preferences) but I can promise that these are MOSTLY as nonpolitical as memoir/non-fiction about the White House can get…

The Residence - Kate Anderson Brower

First Women - Kate Anderson Brower

Game Change - John Heileman & Mark Halperin

Who Thought This Was a Good Idea - Alyssa Mastromonaco

I’ll Take Your Questions Now - Stephanie Grisham

Best Books to Read On VACATION - 2024

If anyone has followed me for any length at all, you might have guessed that one of my favorite things to do is have vacation reading time.
WHAT IS BETTER?

Relaxed, low key time in the mountains or on the beach, with nothing to do but immerse yourself in another world, a fantasy or a romance??

Nothing is better.

And, quite frankly? I’m not alone. The PUBLISHERS know that readers like me want delicious, frothy, immersive books. I’ve got a quick short list of what’s new on the beach read MUST read lists this year.
