This is an excellent list. I have always wanted to be the kind of person to read a memoirs or autobiography, but I never have. Many of the ones in your list I have wanted to read. And now I will, and we can discuss them! And thank you for the suggestion of audiobook. Even better. Love you!
Loved this, Joy! I have found myself being pulled to more memoirs in the past few years for a lot of reasons you mentioned as well. I feel like they teach us so much and give us great perspectives at times! I’m currently working through Barbra Streisand’s memoir, “My Name is Barbra”. Prince Harry’s “Spare”, Dolly Parton’s “Songteller” and (most surprising to me) Jessica Simpson’s “Open Book” have been some of my top favorites. You make me want to read Trevor Noah’s now too!

Thanks, Michelle! Happy to discuss books with you anytime, let me know which ones you read!
