2024 Memoir Reading Challenge

I did this challenge a few years ago but ended up not reading anything.  I am going to give this challenge another try.  To participate, you must read a minimum of five memoirs from any of the categories listed. One book can only count for one category. Re-reads are acceptable. All book formats count. 

Other Rules:

• Books must be read on or after January 1, 2024 to count.
• Challenge runs from January 1 to December 31, 2024.
• Books may cross over to other challenges in which you are participating. 
• Books must be labeled as memoirs to count. 
• You do not need a blog to sign up.  You may keep tract of your progress on Goodreads, Amazon or other similar sites with a shelf dedicated to this challenge.  Or sign up on Youtube, Facebook, or Twitter. Sign up in the comments of the challenge post.
