Motivational Athletics Memoir Featured in LibraryBub Selection for December

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — “Whether you’re a sports fan or just a history buff, looking back at sporting events has produced some of the world’s finest journalism,” Louis Cheslaw writes in The Strategist. “But it could be argued,” he adds, “that no outside observers’ perspective can compare to being inside the heads of those who scored that game-winning point, series-winning run or tournament-winning goal (or coached any teams that did).” He, therefore, maintains that a fine sports memoir “could be the next best thing to spending hours watching a game itself.” In his memoir Apropos of Running, Charles Moore describes his journey from never having run more than a 5,000m race to completing a marathon, and then running several more endurance races. A review in Kirkus speaks of how he “periodically and compellingly touches on his experience as a black man participating in a predominantly white space.” Moore writes, “I felt that I would embody the black man running marathons to whomever was watching. Everyone who sees me knows I am black. What I was doing was the ultimate revocation of the veil of elitism.” In doing so, according to Foreword Reviews, this memoir “takes a mighty stride in diversifying the writer-runner literary canon.”

Established in 2015, LibraryBub is an industry first. Dedicated to making strong, mutual connections between indie and small-press authors and an extensive network of libraries, it works in conjunction with all major libraries. The core commitment of the LibraryBub service is to help librarians to identify acclaimed books from the independent publishing sector. LibraryBub introduces thousands of librarians to bestselling and award-winning books from the independent publishing sector. These books hold immense potential for enhancing the lives of their readers.  Children’s author Andrea Beaty recalls her childhood experience. “Going to the library was the greatest of adventures for me. I made up stories about getting locked in the library over the weekend and devouring the books… Now I find that ideas come from everywhere.” Librarians enable writers to make that kind of difference to people’s lives, and LibraryBub CEO Alinka Rutkowska considers it a privilege to support them in that role.
