ferskner I just listened to Sorry for the Inconvenience and quite liked it! 4d
Chelsea.Poole The audio of this was amazing 4d
Chelsea.Poole @megabooks recommended this, otherwise I would not have discovered it and it's good! 4d
Chelsea.Poole One of the best I read last year, what an inspiration 4d
lynneamch Didn't know I'd care, but did! 4d
willaful Being Seen by Elsa Sjunneson, All The Young Men, Good Talk by Mira Jacob, Educated. 4d
lynneamch A fave group from back in the day. 4d
Megabooks @deblovestoread already mentioned my all-time favorite, I'll tag it, but also several more. If you are on the storygraph, I am megabucks there too. Go to my all-time stats page, and you will find 500+ memoirs with ratings! 4d
Megabooks The ones I've listed to here are all the ones I have in the storygraph that I've given 5 stars to. I'll do a sweep to see what others I'd like to add! 4d
Megabooks His next main girlfriend spilled even more, but this was definitely more thoughtful and reflective 4d
Megabooks and I'd have to add my favorite Bourdain memoir 4d
CBee @Megabooks wow Meg 👏🏻👏🏻 thanks! I will say I‘ve hesitated to read anything by Bourdain - I was pretty broken up when he died 😥 But, maybe I can try him now! Going to find you on SG, I might need to try and compile all of these into a spreadsheet or something 😂😂😂 4d
CBee @Megabooks oh yes, I‘ve read that one! It was excellent @Deblovestoread 4d
Megabooks Missed this 5 star one, and I think I'll end here. On a great high note. I hope you find some you like! 4d
CBee @AmyG not really 😂 I just really love a good memoir and got inspired by the one I finished today 4d
CBee @lil1inblue LOVED the McCurdy and the Smith. I agree anything by Patti Smith is amazing ♥️ 4d
Megabooks @CBee yes, Bourdain's death was so difficult! Read In the Weeds. Tom was his long-time director, and he does a lot of really good wrestling with his own feelings about Tony's death and Tony's legacy. It's really good! (edited) 4d
CBee @Megabooks I‘ll try that one! 4d
CBee @OndinetheSea @Chelsea.Poole @britt_brooke @MemoirsForMe @lynneamch @willaful @ferskner @BookBelle84 thanks for the recs, I‘ll be busy figuring out which ones to read next! ♥️😀 4d
CBee @Chelsea.Poole finished that one today, it was excellent! 4d

CBee @BookmarkTavern that sounds amazing! I do better with audio for memoirs for sure. 3d
CBee @Megabooks LOVED the Grohl book. 3d
Megabooks Best musician memoir I‘ve read!! 3d
Megabooks I am megabooks on the storygraph! (Megabucks is my childhood nickname. Megabooks the handle came as an offshoot of that!!) 3d
ReadingRachael I have really enjoyed reading a number of graphic memoirs over the past couple of years. 3d
CBee @Megabooks omg I totally thought you misspelled it. Megabucks is so cute 😂 3d
CBee @ReadingRachael thank you! Graphic novels have gotten me out of many a slump, but I haven‘t read any graphic memoirs yet. Will have to remedy that 😀 3d

#TemptingTitles #WithCat I‘ve accepted that I can get by with having read only excerpts from this (and The Glass Menagerie and Uncle Vanya) but that I‘m missing a whole level of subtlety to the cultural references in almost half the books I open, so I should really get to these works… @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Eggs 🖤🐈‍⬛🧡 2y
CarolynM You really do need to read (or see) Cat on a Hot Tin Roof in its entirety to appreciate it. It‘s an old favourite of mine🙂 The Elizabeth Taylor/Paul Newman movie doesn‘t count, they left some important stuff out. 2y
IndoorDame @CarolynM that‘s good to know! 2y

I bought this several years ago, but haven‘t gotten around to reading it yet. Sounds interesting and I‘ve heard good things about Laing‘s writing.

“I suppose I have found it easier to identify with the characters who verge upon hysteria, who were frightened of life, who were desperate to reach out to another person. But these seemingly fragile people are the strong people really.”

Remembering Tennessee Williams on his birthday.

1. Yes! I LOVE reading plays 😍. I try to read a handful every year
2. Ideally, I would read it and then watch the performance, but I‘m a happy camper either way 🎭. I definitely miss going to the theater
3. I have the tagged currently checked out from the library and will be digging in soon 🤓

BookmarkTavern We all deserve to see a play. Hopefully by next year! 🤞🏻 Thank you for posting! 3y

Found these top four books at a little free library in Brunswick right where I was working on Sunday 😃

I must do the rounds and drop my read books off to these lovely little shared libraries.
