National Write Your Story Day!

 Hey!
Okay, I know it has been too long since I've gotten around to writing and posting. No excuse, it's just life.
Maybe, one day, I'll get around to writing my story. 
Which brings me to today's post! 

It is National Write Your Story Day!

Technically, it's tomorrow.

I absolutely love reading memoirs or autobiographies. I have always been fascinated with learning about other people and the lives they've lived.

I love learning all the good, bad, and ugly of what makes a person who they are, or were.

We can learn so much from a person's history. 

Speaking of history, this is also how I have learned so much about different times, events, places, and so many things in general that I otherwise would never have known about.

For example; the first time I read anything about munchausen by proxy was from reading
  Sickened: The Memoir of a Munchausen by Proxy Childhood by Julie Gregory
This was long before the Gypsy Rose Blanchard story. 

In the book,  I Am Hutterite by Mary-Ann Kirkby  I learned about a whole religion that I'd never even heard before.

Fun fact: Did you know that Sissy Spacek's husband Jack Fisk was best friend's with Bill Paxton(Twister)? I didn't!

Until, I read her memoir My Extraordinary Ordinary Life

If you're anything like me, and love learning about the lives of others, here is a list of 20+ memoirs that I have read.

Memoirs I've enjoyed!

I hope you'll read one or a few, and please send me your favorites!

What is your favorite memoir?

Do you prefer ones about famous people, or more of the unknowns? I think I'm torn on that one. At least, I don't prefer one over the other. I'd read them all!
