items I am a huge reader (over 300 books in 2024!) and while I do read mostly fiction, I can't resist a good memoir - especially when there is an audiobook version read by the author. Here are some of those that I think are absolutely worth the read/listen...

So hilarious - of course it is, it's Tina Fey!
Bossypants by Tina Fey
If you grew up watching Molly as a "Superstar!" on SNL, you'll love her memoir. It's surprisingly poignant and not as lighthearted as I expected, but still a wonderful read.
Hello, Molly!: A Memoir
I love Leanne Morgan's comedy, which is full of women's issues - menopause, raising children, and dealing with husbands. This book is a fun and funny peak into her life.
What in the World?!: A Southern Woman's Guide
If you're a fan of Busy Phillips on Instagram (or just in general), you will love her memoir. It's fun while still being heartfelt and jsut an enjoyable read.
This Will Only Hurt a Little by Busy Philipps
While I didn't enjoy this one quite as much as Bossypants by Tina Fey, it was still fun and funny. A recommended read for sure.
Yes Please by Amy Poehler
I've grown to love Mindy Kaling over the years and her book is what you'd expect from here - a little self deprecating and a lot funny.
Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? by Mindy Kaling

Becoming by Michelle Obama
While I'm not familiar with Jennette's shows (iCarly, Sam & Cat, and Malcom in the Middle, to name a few), I still found her memoir interesting and truly moving.
I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy
I have loved Gabrielle Union since Bring It On and this book was so funny in its honesty. While I didn't like her second book as much, this one I highly recommend.
We're Going to Need More Wine by Gabrielle Union
I know he's not everyone's cup of tea, but this book as has many great life lessons in it and is just such an interesting read. Plus who couldn't listen to his voice all day long?
Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey
Growing up in Seattle in the 90s it was impossible not to be into Nirvana. That's where I first clued into Dave Grohl and it continued with Foo Fighters. While I don't love some of his life decisions, I did love hearing about his life, and think this...
The Storyteller: Tales of Life & Music
Oh gosh - Wesley! The Princess Bride is a classic and this is SUCH a fun peek behind the curtain at it. Definitely one to listen to rather than read.
