Assignment 3/Assignment 4:
History-930 to 999
America the Beautiful by Ben Carson (973 C)

Travel- 910 to 919
Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Coast Trail by Cheryl Strayed (917.9 S)
At 22 years old, Cheryl Strayed lost her mother. Shortly thereafter, her family scattered and her marriage fell apart. With nothing left to lose, she decides on a whim to hike the Pacific Crest Trail all by herself. One-thousand+ miles later, she finished and along the way, she found herself. Not having personally read it, I would give this to someone who likes memoirs about people rediscovering themselves.

Food-600's
Julie & Julia: My Year of Cooking Dangerously by Julie Powell (641.5 P)

Crime- mostly 364's, but some dispersed in the 900's depending on subject
Devil in the White City byErik Larson (364.1523 L)
Erik Larson intertwines the true tale of the 1893 World's Fair and the cunning serial killer who used the fair to lure his victims to their death. Combining in-depth research and great story-telling skills, Larson has written a true-crime book that reads like it should be a movie (or at least a prime-time tv show). I would give this to anyone who likes crime tv-shows or mysteries.
