Memoir Bingo Reading Challenge 2017

Since I have been reading many memoirs and am in the process of writing one of my own, I decided to create a memoir reading challenge. I opted for a bingo-grid format, pictured below:

You may complete as many squares as you choose. However, you may only count one book for one square. For the Free Space, you may read a different book for one of the categories listed (that you have already completed). Or if you find one on a topic not listed, you may count that one towards the Free Space.

Guidelines for the Challenge

• Challenge will run from January 1 to December 31, 2017.  Books must be started on or after January 1 to count.  Re-reads will be allowed as long as they are read during the specified time period.
• Books may cross over to other challenges in which you are participating.
• All book formats are allowed (paper, audio, electronic, graphic novels/manga). 
• Please link back to this blog, post about it on Facebook, Tweet about it, and so on to help spread the word.
• 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.  
• You do not need to post reviews, nor will there be any check-ins.

Above all, have fun. I look forward to seeing what you read.
