Book Blogger Hop is run by Billy @CoffeeAddictedWriter. The aim of the blog hop is to provide bloggers with an opportunity to follow other blogs, discover new books, make friends with other bloggers, and gain new followers for their own sites. Today’s question is “What is Your Favorite Plot Twist?”
Just like any other genre, it depends on the book. I have read some memoirs that I loved, and some that fell short. Below are a few of the memoirs that I loved.
This book is hilarious and sometimes heartbreaking. Allison Arngrim is honest about abuse in her past but also wonderfully funny. She talks about her castmates in such a loving way, for the most part. Nobody liked Mary apparently. Melissa Gilbert’s memoir, which wasn’t my favorite, stated the same.
Lauren Graham’s memoir is just super funny and we get a great inside view of The Gilmore Girls and Parenthood.
Spare talks about the less glamorous side of being a Prince. Here’s my review. I loved it.
Not all the memoirs I’ve read were well-written and some of them were not what I expected. So again the answer to the question is: Sometimes.
What memoirs have you read that you enjoyed?
The memoir that immediately comes to mind is Eudora Welty’s One Writer’s Beginnings.
I’ll have to check that out.
Memoir is not a genre I gravitate to but one of my friends had written one and I wanted to read it, so I did. 😊 It’s beautiful and heart wrenching at the same time, impossible to leave you the same afterwards.
I highly recommend it: Forever with Me: A Memoir by Susan Hutchinson.
Thanks Louise. I will look at that one too.
I remember Nellie! Oh, the character was something. I bet the actresses memoir was good.
