The Bookish Mindset

I absolutely adore compelling and emotional memoirs. The best move me to tears and shake me to my core. They’re often hard to review because honestly, how can you review something like that, and with that same thought train I’ve decided not to add anything extra to this list like in the other guides.

All of these have moved me and if you love a memoir and reading about incredible people and their lives, then I wholly recommend you check these out.
