From Here to the Great Unknown by Lisa Marie Presley and Riley Keough for when you’re wanting a one-of-a-kind memoir. Narrated by actress, Julia Roberts and Riley Keough, this is a heartfelt story about a tortured soul. This memoir includes taped interviews with Lisa Marie before she passed away. While it just scratches the surface of her life, readers are given insight that creates understanding and empathy.
Open Book by Jessica Simpson for the reader that wants nothing left unsaid. Simpson is an open book in her memoir and her vulnerability is admirable. This is no fluffy read so be sure to check Storygraph for triggers if need be.
The Rural Diaries by Hilarie Burton Morgan if you’re needing a reminder to live the life you want, NOW! How Morgan turned her life into a Hallmark movie.
Acne by Laura Chinn for the reader that devoured The Glass Castle. This under the radar gem is not to be missed.
Speak by Tunde Oyeneyin for when you need a little motivation, inspiration and assurance. Tunde is such a bright light on and off the bike.
Tell Me Everything by Minka Kelly for when you need reminding that you never really know the pain people carry around with them. This absolutely broke my heart.
Be Ready When the Luck Happens by Ina Garten for anyone that used to watch Barefoot Contessa and needs a little inspiration in and outside of the kitchen.
The Woman in Me by Britney Spears for anyone wanting to better understand the trials and tribulations that Britney has faced over the years. It’s impossible not to feel for her.
Finding Freedom by Erin French when you want the motivation to chase your dreams and understand the path is not always smooth. Be ready to grab a postcard so you have a chance on a seat at the table.
Finding Me by Viola Davis for when you want all the insider deets. This is a MUST listen.
Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey for when you’re wanting a good time. A man that sure knows how to live, laugh and learn.
Have you read/listened to any of the above memoirs? Do you have one you would like to share?

Welcome new and old friends! Sorry for the delay this month but life has taken me by surprise lately so I’m just happy to be here sharing books and life with you all.
The Viola Davis was so good on audio. I’m going to listen to the Lisa Marie Presley and Ina Garten. Great list!
Speak is one of my very favs! I still need to read Finding Freedom and Finding Me, both sitting on my print tbr shelf but you know I'll do the audio:)
