54 Memoirs That Readers Are Raving About
Let's face it: Being cooped up inside during the pandemic has left a lot of us searching for a sense of connection with one another. Memoirs are a beautiful way to experience the world through the eyes of people with fantastically different points of view.
Below are 54 memoirs that are resonating with Goodreads readers in a huge way so far this year, running the gamut from an unjustly imprisoned man's quest for peace to a woman's discovery of her unlikely lineage to a superstar actress piecing her life back together.
We curated this list based on reader anticipation and buzz, which we measure by how many times a book has been added to Want to Read shelves. We also measured each book's average rating (nothing below a 3.5 average made the cut).

All of these look so good! Added quite a few to my TBR!
Added a few to My TBR -:) Really looking forward to Soul of a Woman, Dog Flowers & Consent!
A lot of great books listed here! I have to say I never thought I'd enjoy a memoir by Seth Rogen but I've never in my life laughed harder than I did while reading Yearbook.
I'm not a big Seth Rogen fan but I picked up his memoir Yearbook on a whim, and it's one of my favorite books of the year! It's one of the funniest books I've ever read.
Some good ones there. My TBR is growing and don't know whether to be happy or cry
Hunter Biden? Really? Simply ridiculous Goodreads.
My Angel My Hero by Brenda E Mcdaniel. This should be added. A heart warming and soul searching book.
The Coconut Wireless. smarturl.it/thecoconutwireless.A fun travel adventure memoir about a search through the Pacific for the Queen of Tonga!
I really liked "The Time Capture" by Annie Hoad. Very exciting book on Amazon.

Surrender, by Marylee MacDonaldA remarkably candid account of an adoptee's quest to know herself and her origins as she seeks to find the son she relinquished in her teen years. Real and poignant.
