Best Memoirs Written by Women

I Am Malala, by Malala Yousafzai

You Could Make This Place Beautiful, by Maggie Smith

One of Amazon’s Best Books of the Year in 2023, this memoir explores heartbreak, societal expectations in gender roles, and power dynamics in the average home. A reviewer added, “Smith’s memoir is magical and heart-rending and open (but definitely not a tell-all) as she describes her journey into and through her divorce from her attorney husband.”

The Woman in Me, by Britney Spears

With this number-one bestseller on Amazon, you'll learn all about the pop star, narrated in part by Britney Spears herself. It’s the brave account of her journey through love, fame, and womanhood.

Best Books About Presidents

Ask Not, by Maureen Callahan

This exposé reveals a pattern of unruly behavior toward women in the long generations of the Kennedys; reviewers are calling the book “well-researched,” “shocking,” and “a must-read.”

The Accidental President, by A.J. Baime

The Truman administration is a highly studied one, as this book delves deeper into the first 120 historical days of his presidency. One reader claimed, “It gave me a whole new perspective on Truman, WW2, and the atomic bombs,” while another called it the best biography they’ve read.

The General vs. the President, by H.W. Brands

This New York Times bestseller comes from two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist H.W. Brands. It details the trials and tribulations of the relationship between President Harry Truman and General Douglas MacArthur after World War II. One reviewer says that the author has the “ability to make non-fiction read like a ripping good story.”

Best Celeb Book Club

The Last Mrs. Parrish, by Liv Constantine

Picked by Reese Witherspoon for the Hello Sunshine Book Club, The Last Mrs. Parrish offers a psychological twist. The story follows the supposedly fairy-tale and high-end life of Amber Patterson—only to reveal that it’s nothing like a fairy tale. If you enjoy books with dark secrets and compelling thrills, this one is definitely worth the read.

The Many Lives of Mama Love,by Lara Love Hardin

Oprah’s Book Club pick The Many Lives of Mama Love showcases the life of Lara Love Hardin, a soccer mom turned opioid addict. It follows Hardin’s dark and twisted path that eventually leads her to the career of an extremely successful ghostwriter.

Happiness Falls, by Angie Kim

This was one of Emma Roberts’s Belletrist Book Club picks. Mia’s father goes missing, with the only witness being her brother, who has a rare genetic condition. It’s a twisting mystery novel that touches upon family drama and inner soul-searching. Reviewers describe it as “more than just a mystery” with an “educational storyline.”

Best Books Narrated By Comedians

Bossypants, by Tina Fey

Tina Fey as the narrator? Count us in. Bossypants offers comedic autobiographical essays from the famous actress and writer that touch on her journey from a young girl to performing on Saturday Night Live. One reader called the book “part memoir, advice column, personal reflection, and cultural essays—but every part of this nonfiction narrative is hilarious.”

I Can’t Make This Up, by Kevin Hart

We all know (and love) comedian Kevin Hart, and now with his memoir we learn more about him through his “humor” and “honesty” as he focuses on the themes of believing in yourself, survival, and success.

Dad Is Fat by Jim Gaffigan

Stand-up comedian Jim Gaffigan reflects on his life as a dad with five kids. Reviewers are calling it “relatable, entertaining, and [a] spot-on description of parenting,” as well as pretty much a “5 + hour comedy special.” If you’re deep in the trenches of parenthood and enjoy humor—this one’s for you!

I’d Like to Play Alone, Please, by Tom Segura

This #2 New York Times bestseller comes from the mind of American comedian Tom Segura. As a parent of two young children, Segura narrates a collection of stories about his life—from parenthood back to his own childhood experiences.
