  Connie Connie Chung   Released: September 17th, 2024 My 12th book for 2025 was Connie Chung's “Connie”.   I've always heard the name "Connie Chung" before, and knew it was a real person, but I didn't know her story.  I knew she did something in the news.  She's one of those names I would hear on Wayne's World or similar shows where people would discuss random names in pop culture. Last fall, I was at Curious Iguana in downtown Frederick, MD.  I saw Connie's memoir there and was interested in it.  She was scheduled to do a book signing there within a week.  I flipped though the cover sleeve and found out she is married to Maury Povich.  I debated getting the book and then meeting her at the book signing, but my schedule did not allow it. I picked it up a little while later and kept telling myself that I needed to read it.  I love a good biography, and after A Reporter's Life , Walter Cronkite's book, this seemed right up my alley....
