Samantha, any book that appears on the group bookshelf qualifies for the bonus. In your case, I will add 50 points for your "Seven Husbands" book. Here's a link to the bookshelf: https://www.goodreads.com/group/books...

The authors drive to become an Olympian is a major part of the story. It also shapes her character immensely. I think it counts because it is a major topic in the memoir.
