Sure!
I really like nonfiction that brings up an issue I didn't know anything about.

is amazing. But it's not a biography, and has no letters for Celebration!!
is light and sweet - you have to kinda like cats - it works for biographies

was a really interesting book focusing on Asian American voice
was amazing, but a super tough subject
was super interesting - although I definitely spaced out sometimes while I was listening to it. It was a new POV from WWII that I really didn't know about.
was good - incredibly honest.
And now it's dinner time, and my husband is cooking :)
Let me know if those fall flat, and I'll dig up some others.
I agree that Educated was very good.

Oh boy,
So our next round is pink biographies with the spell-out celebration?

Thanks!
I definitely think it could count - even if it as a nickname?

Nice!!
It's a really different book! I'm almost finished. - What do you think of it?

Hello all!
I am reading for this round, and I put it on the tracking sheet for C for Clarke (author's last name).
It has a character called "The Other" which is an important character.

Phew!
Finished The Namesake
In the nick of time :)

I also have an M Mossad: The Greatest Missions of the Israeli Secret Service from the library - nothing for crow, but for inchworm if we need it.
