HerStories Memoir Challenge



Have you heard about the HerStories Memoir Challenge? Anyone who knows me knows that I am passionate about Story Circle Network. The HerStories Memoir Challenge is a new and exciting facet to Story Circle Network's many opportunities.


It's simple, really.... read 4 memoirs in the first 4 months of 2009, post a 4 sentence review to the challenge site... be entered to win prizes! (and join a growing network of women in the process.)


Now, granted, it is mid-February and I am just getting the word out to those of you who are not on the SCN mailing list already. But there's still time! To learn more about the challenge and how you can join in the fun, go to http://storycircle.typepad.com/challenge .


And for the record, here are the four memoirs I am reading and reviewing for the challenge:


Growing Up Amish: Insider Secrets from One Woman's Inspirational Journey by Anna Dee Olson


The Daily Coyote: A Story of Love, Survival, and Trust in the Wilds of Wyoming by Shreve Stockton


The Two Kinds of Decay a memoir

by Sarah Manguso


Stretching Lessons: The Daring that Starts from Within

by Sue Bender


(of course we ARE only half way through this challenge period so my reading / reviewing selections are subject to change at any given time)


What four memoirs are you going to read between now and the end of April '09?
