We had two weekends of back to back family weddings so this is coming out a little later! One more stride towards getting back to a more regular posting schedule. So many spooky reads this month! Some favorites: Pumpkin Spice & Poltergeist (ARC) by Ali K. Mulford and K. Elle Morrison I saw a comment […]
One of the funnier memoirs I’ve read this year. I loved the callouts to just how damn white he is (I also glow in the dark) and hearing more about SNL behind the scenes is always fun. I agree with his mom though, maybe he should stop going to Central America on vacation, something always […]
Continuing down my Full House memoir lane, and as with Jodie’s, a book that’s been out for awhile, Bob Saget’s memoir is my latest memoir read. It was interesting reading this a few years after his death. Knowing he did find love again, and also being able to hear his side of some of the […]
This was an incredible and incredibly difficult book to read. I didn’t know about this memoir until recently, but it has been out for fifteen years. I mean, wow. I knew she had struggled with drug and alcohol addiction, but reading her struggles was a whole other level. I appreciate how candid she was in […]

This was a little different for a memoir for me. Patton tells of his early career through the lens of his movie addiction during that time. It’s an approach I’m not sure that I’ve seen, and it obviously was an issue for him that he needed to deal with. I just never thought about people […]
This was a really hard read to listen to. Billy Dee is showing his age, and I really didn’t think he’d be narrating his own memoir when I learned of it at Motor City Comic Con last fall. But he did. At MCCC he was very slow, and his handler? manager? guy who does talking […]
It was much later in his career that I became aware and fan of Patrick Stewart, but listening to his life story was incredibly interesting! What a delightful read. I was, like many non UK residents/youths, not aware of Patrick Stewart until much later in his career. My first of his performances was in the […]
