Playing catch up once again so here are a few #marvelousmemoirs for @Jess7 's #awesomeautumnbooks challenge. The tagged book was a heart wrenching read that struck close to home because my husband grew up in Baltimore as well. Knowing that he had a very similar childhood somehow makes it more real for me.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

EchoLogical @Tamra It was so good! It was my first Jacqueline Woodson book and I couldn't believe how long I'd been missing out. 7y
Tamra @EchoLogical my intro was the picture book Each Kindness, and oh my, gut wrenching! 7y
EchoLogical @Tamra I don't think I've actually read it yet. I'll have to check it out from work tomorrow. 7y

I don't read a lot of memoirs -- these books are as close as I am getting.

The Sky Below I read recently and the other three are on my TBR list.

#catchingup on #septembowie #day15 - #astheworldfallsdown & #awesomeautumnbooks #day16 - #marvelousmemoirs

Something of a 2 birds / 1 stone situation, though both themes are nothing if not apt. The memoir in question is "marvelous" in its meaning and execution, not in what it recounts, obviously.

I just started this today and I am only a few chapter in but so far I absolutely love it! I feel like I will give it 5 ⭐️ based on the first two chapter alone if if the rest of it is only mediocre! #marvelousmemoirs #awesomeautumnbooks

Karkar I listened to the audiobook of this one and I really enjoyed it. It was an interesting look at his life. 7y

#bookintomovie It's been a long time since I read the book, but recently saw the movie and think it was just as good. The cast is amazing and the additions of clips from an original documentary and recent interview with the mom are fascinating.. Both the book and movie have many moments that are difficult to read or watch, but are so revealing about the complexities of family relationships.

Alicia I loved it too! Me and @Onlaughterandliteracy loved the old clips as well. So fascinating! I think the authors captured the Walls' so well. 7y
EvieBee Really?! So glad to hear that because this book was...THE book for me for a long time. 7y

These are two #MarvelousMemoirs and highly recommend both on #audiobook. #awesomeautumnreads

JacqMac I also loved both of these. 7y
AmandaL @JacqMac I loved that Bourdain endorsed Blood, Bones, and Butter as the best memoir written by a chef ever. They're both really compelling reads. 7y

#MarvelousMemoirs

William Faulkner helped raise his niece (the author of this memoir) when her father (William's brother) died before she was born. She called her uncle William "Pappy". ❤️
