One Book OCL's Next Virtual Selection: Michael Thompson's "How to Be Remembered"

originally published: 07/06/2024


(TOMS RIVER, NJ) -- Avid readers in the One Book OCL Online Book Club are ready for a heartwarming treat. Michael Thompson’s thought provoking, life affirming debut novel How to Be Remembered is the next title up for discussion, Friday August 2 through Friday, October 4.

One Book OCL, in partnership with PBC Guru, is the Library’s free virtual reading club for patrons and the community. Titles are available in print, audiobook and eBook formats. Library membership is not mandatory. Cardholders can borrow or download discussion books for free. All club members discuss literary points and network in a private forum.

How to Be Remembered introduces Tommy Llewellyn, whose burden is that he is erased from everyone’s memory on the same day each year. When Tommy falls in love, he determines to overcome his “universal Reset” and build a life with the girl of his dreams. He must decide what matters most - what we leave behind or who we take with us.

Thompson’s first full-length fiction piece extends the knack for storytelling that he developed through more than 15 years as a journalist and media executive. He lives in Australia, where he co-owns a podcast production firm.
