Despite my late start in reading memoirs/biographies in my life, I'm proud to say I've read 19 of these (plus have a few others on my physical TBR pile). Great choices for #Nonfiction2017 & let me add a few more to this list that I loved in the comments (I'll tag them)

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Awesome book and audiobook

It's What I Do: A Photographer's Life of Love and War

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Excellent personal & honest story

Love, Loss, and What We Ate: A Memoir

Riveted_Reader_Melissa I actually learned a lot about her job, life, and current global relations... this book made me add both Madeleine Albright & Condoleeza Rice's memoirs to me TBR list

Hard Choices: A Memoir

See All 11 Comments

Riveted_Reader_Melissa And I know many people disliked this one, the idea that is wasn't intersectional enough, and no it isn't...it's her personal story from her one POV, and I enjoyed her honesty and humor anyway. Also good as an audiobook, btw

How to Be a Woman

Sace I'll have to go through that list. I love BookRiot, but oh my the 100 best lists really turn me off. Too long a list for me. Especially considering how often they seem to post them. #crankypants 7y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Sace I agree... if I added them all my TBR list would be infinite. But I often glance through them for good ideas.... and this one caught my attention because book 1 just happened to be the book I just finished for @LitsyFeministBookClub (edited) 7y

Sace Glad I'm not the only one! I tend to stop looking after about 15. I just went through 11 on this list and 5 ended up on my wishlist. 😂 7y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Sace Redefining Realness, Malala's book, and Wild I'd definitely recommend out of those top 11 if they are ones you picked.👍 7y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa More recommendations...also great on audiobook

Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology

Riveted_Reader_Melissa I found this one very honest, even when life is painful

Wishful Drinking
