[AISLE-Share] Memoirs

[Email list for the Association of Illinois School Library Educators]

Our seniors begin the year with a memoir unit, so I've tried to
continuously build up that collection.

Some of the titles that I book talk and/or get checked out most frequently:


* Born a Crime by Trevor Noah (current 2019 Lincoln Award nominee!) *
*Wave* by Sonali Deraniyagala
*Half a Life* by Darrin Strauss
*The Glass Castle* by Jeannette Walls
*Wild* by Cheryl Strayed
*Educated *by Tara Westover
*Let's Pretend This Never Happened* by Jenny Lawson
*My Bloody Life and Once a King Always a King* by Reymundo Sanchez
*When Breath Becomes Air* by Paul Kalanithi
*The Burn Journals* by Brent Runyon
*A List of Things That Didn't Kill Me* by Jason Schmidt
*A Life in Parts* by Bryan Cranston

Also, Derk (John) Backderf has 2 great graphic novel memoirs: *Trashed* and *My
Friend Dahmer*

If you're looking for more (subject or reading level specific), feel free
to e-mail me!
