I love a good memoir. The lure of getting a peek into a stranger’s life, celebrity and regular person alike, gets me every time. It doesn’t matter whether they’re explaining how they navigated a life riddled with obstacles, how they lived through an unusual experience, or their adventures with a specific hobby: if a memoir sounds remotely interesting, off to my audiobook library it goes.
I do prefer to listen to memoirs on audio, in particular if they’re narrated by their authors. It feels more intimate, like a conversation with someone willing to dole out a few nuggets of wisdom that I might otherwise not learn. As a matter of fact, I consider memoirs my own version of self-help: they offer the same benefits of a fresh perspective and sound advice, but without the preachy tone I’ve found in a lot of books from the self-help genre.
As such, I’m always on the hunt for new and recent memoirs. Every quarter or so, I dive into new releases and pick out a few books to accompany me on my morning walks. These eight books all made that cut. I haven’t listened to all of them yet, but I’m excited to do so. I hope you are, too!
