New Memoirs and Biographies

December 26, 2025 -

As someone who has a hard time reading nonfiction, when I’m feeling the need to read nonfiction, I gravitate towards memoirs and biographies. I love the life tidbits and secrets that are dropped. It sometimes feels like a peak behind the curtain into someone’s life when I’m reading a biography.
