Week 8 Assignment 3

Memoirs
Mostly found in Biographies, but there were a few in the 300s, 600s, and 700s.


Run, Don't Walk  by Adele Levine






Crime
Mostly found in the 300s, but there were a few in the 600s and 900s.


Secrets Can Be Murder by Jane Velez-Mitchell






Overcoming Adversity
Mostly found in Biographies, but there were a few in the 300s.


Autobiography of a Face by Lucy Grealy






Sports
Mostly found in the 700s, but there were a few in Biographies.


Afternoons with Mr. Hogan by Jody Vasquez


I find it interesting that there is a lot of crossover between Memoirs, Overcoming Adversity, and Sports. Even though I did not mention the title hear, OJ Brigance's book Strength of a Champion is filed in the 700s because he talks about his sports career, but he also speaks about his life growing up and learning to live with Lou Gehrig's disease. While the books is filed in the 700s, I felt this book could go in Biographies because of how in depth he talks about his life. I would recommend his book to someone who likes to read football fiction, but I would also recommend this book who enjoys uplifting fiction. The possibilities are endless!
