I changed my book to Mindy Kaling- Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? I read it for my January book club. It was a fun light hearted memoir about this hollywood writer who went from insecure chubby child to a sassy woman who can hold her own in Hollywood.
Just finished Bossypants by Tina Fey - does a memoir also necessarily count as nonfiction? Does it also count for "based on a true story" or is that one supposed to be more like a slightly fictionalized/dramatized version of events, like Hachiko Waits?
Having just reviewed the difference between Memoir and Autobiography, I'm putting American Sniper by Chris Kyle here ... I've yet to see the film - hubby did - but have just bought the "autobiography" for hubby's birthday ... And I'll make it my read for here ...
So close to finding my author with same initials too - if only I was dyslexic ;)
