One of my reading goals this year is too read 6 biography/ memoirs. I've read two so far. I have plans to read "I am Malala" and one over Marie Curie. I'm thinking Harriet Tubman for my 6th. What are some of your favorite biographies/memoirs? #biography #memoir #goal

Reading about Magellan for history book group. A great way to start #biblioweekend.

Ellsbeth A history book group sounds great! 8y
librariankris I'm actually in two of them, and they're fantastic. I'm surrounded by cool, smart people, and I just sit back and take it in. 😊 8y
CyranoseDeBergerac I bet the book groups are interesting! I feel like I wouldn't contribute much, but I could certainly sit back and take it in. That sounds like my style. Maybe some day! 🙂 I don't know how you do it all, Kris. You're like a superhuman or something! 8y
librariankris @CyranoseDeBergerac *blushing* Thanks, Amy! 8y
