Thanks for the Memoirs 02/19/17

Like everything else on this book blog, the archive / index is a work in progress. Originally I had the books sorted just by author and by title. It was a quick way to see what I had reviewed, how many reviews I had written, and whose books I had reviewed.

Since then I have been breaking the original title list into smaller categories based on reader interest and readers' advisory questions. Most recently I've had enough questions regarding recommendations for memoirs, that I'm now including a memoirs list in my genre index.

The list includes books for all ages. There are graphic novel memoirs on there, such as:

• Displacement: A Travelogue by Lucy Knisley
• El Deafo by Cece Bell
• March: Book One by John Lewis, Andrew Aydin and Nate Powell
• Monkey Food by Ellen Forney
• Tomboy: A Graphic Memoir by Liz Prince

From my road narrative project, I am including personal accounts of road trips, even if they're only memoirs in the most glancing sort of way. For example:

• Across the Continent by The Lincoln Highway by Effie Price Gladding
• Blue Highways by William Least Heat-Moon
• In the Driver's Seat by Cynthia Golomb Dettelbach
• Off Road by Sean Gordon Murphy
