Sofia Decio-Haddis
I LOVE a good memoir, and these are some that I recommend over and over again. Some are better consumed via audio
I think this should be required reading. Beautifully written. Trigger warning: sexual assault
Know My Name: A Memoir
Do yourself a favor and listen to this on audio! So good.
Greenlights: McConaughey, Matthew
Another book I recommend on audio.
Finding Me: A Memoir: Davis, Viola - Books
Very interesting book and perspective from a child star
I'm Glad My Mom Died: McCurdy, Jennette: Books
I really enjoyed this! He has another book that fell a bit flat for me, but this one captivated me
Stories I Only Tell My Friends: Autobiography
I completely understand the hype around this. Definitely worth the read (or listen)
Crying in H Mart: A Memoir by Michelle Zauner
Another book I recommend on audio. He’s a bit crass but his stories are so good.
Kitchen Confidential Updated Edition
This book is so important, and I appreciate the way she talks about accessibility.
Haben: The Deafblind Woman Who Conquered Harvard
I shamelessly find cult memoirs to be particularly fascinating, and this was no exception.
Dinner for Vampires: Life on a Cult TV Show
The title of the book is surprisingly on the nose. I felt like I was going on a journey with a friend
I'm Laughing Because I'm Crying: A Memoir
I listened to this on audio, and I’m so glad I did. These stories felt good for the soul
What I Ate in One Year: (and related thoughts)
I didn’t know anything about Kelly’s personal life before reading this, but now I adore her even more than I did on Gilmore Girls.
The Third Gilmore Girl: A Memoir
