Possibilities to Fulfill My Remaining Categories
For the 000s I can read A Long Way From Home by Tom Brokaw.
For the 400s I have been eyeing Alphabet Juice by Roy Blount Jr. but I need to find a copy. I am also considering Unfortunate English by Bill Brohaugh. I tried reading a John McWhorter book and couldn't get into it. If anyone has any suggestions for the 400s, I am open to hearing them!
For the 900 - 939s I have In the Heart of the Sea by Nathaniel Philbrick.

By "finished", do you mean you've read one book from the 0xx class? There's no wrong way to do the challenge, but this group predates the 2016 Category Challenge by many years, so a bit more clarification would help. The 0xx is a difficult category to truly complete (i.e. read a book from every single section in the class), and I only see one title listed for you, so I suspect it's the "one book" definition, but I just want to make sure!
