Memoirs: Writing Ourselves
This week our friends at Shelf Awareness help us navigate the world of memoir, the act of writing our lives. They present a selection of touching, heartfelt books that lead us into lives that are different, and yet somehow familiar feeling. This is the beauty of memoir: it helps us “find commonalities among differences, noting the ways we’re all tied together.”We have all the recommended books in the collection, waiting to be read!
