What is your favorite biography/autobiography? Tell me why! I'd like to add a few to my TBR list.

I'm a toss up between Steve Martin's Born Standing Up and Get Happy: The Life of Judy Garland.

And if it's a good audiobook, I'd love to know that too!

Brianne Furiously happy by Jenny Lawson

I’ve both read and enjoyed this book via audible and while listening found myself not wanting to get out of the car.

This book was easy to relate to as it touches on one’s struggles with anxiety, depression and overcoming something you had to find the courage to push yourself towards. I recommend this title a lot for anyone needing a little pep talk to smile when you might feel the blues. I have also read other titles by this author but found myself going back to this one more than once.

Adrienne Dorison (adriennedorison) | 1 comments I loved “Open” by Andre Agassi. It was a great audiobook read as well.

Shelby | 3 comments 100% it’s Educated by Tara Westover for me. Her story reads almost like fiction and it’s so well told. I recommend it to anyone who will listen!

Kate Salter | 1 comments Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey is a great audiobook bio! I also recently enjoyed Susan Page's biography of Barbara Bush.

I'd listen to McConaughey read anything.


Sarah Elizabeth (mrssnorthington) | 2 comments Stanley Tucci Taste was fabulous, and I've heard the audiobook is even better. Each chapter shares not just stories from his life, which are all told with his dry wit and warmth, but recipes are also shared and just add another layer of delight!

I love Ruth Reichl's Garlic & Sapphires and Save Me the Plums.

I love a good foody memoir best apparently!

I have Taste sitting in a stack literally three feet from me. I'll bump it to the top now!
