In the last decade since college graduation, I’ve picked up memoir after memoir, book after book, scouring library sales and used book stores to add to my personal library. Memoirs in recent years have outdone themselves, showing an incredible amount of creativity and innovation. From graphic memoirs to experimental entries into the genre, there’s no singular way to write a memoir, making each story unique. If you’re looking to read more memoirs, it can be difficult to figure out where to start. So to help you, here are 20 of my favorite memoirs from the last decade or so that need to be on your TBRs. Let’s jump right in!
