Plus the comments go to your e-mail, so it's practically the same thing right?<br /><br />I memoir that I read recently that I really loved was <i>Someday My Prince Will Come</i> by Jerramy Fine. The basic idea is that Jerramy moved to London after college in hopes of falling in love with royalty and becoming a princess. It has a feel of a YA book, except it's hard 20-something adventures in London going out to parties and hooking up with guys. It wasn't what I expected it to be, but I loved it.<br /><br />Other good memoirs are Jen Lancaster's which actually feel quite a bit like reading a blog. (Makes since especially since that's how she got her start.)Shoshanahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15707241263291051104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798065526948874468.post-52106722385583520892012-03-22T15:50:55.778-05:002012-03-22T15:50:55.778-05:00I have not read many memoirs and so I am looking f...I have not read many memoirs and so I am looking forward to this new feature on your blog with great anticipation!Mohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10973398662942617522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798065526948874468.post-9983292520713796572012-03-22T14:30:25.314-05:002012-03-22T14:30:25.314-05:00I love biographies and I have to recommend Life by...I love biographies and I have to recommend Life by Keith Richards.

It was one of the most compelling and courageous stories I think I have ever read. I reviewed it on my blog - the link is below if you would like more info:<br /><br />http://www.create-with-joy.com/2011/09/a-heart-for-feedom-by-chai-ling.html<br /><br />Enjoy - I can't wait to see the list!<br /><br />Ramona<br />http://create-with-joy.comCreate With Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12954209323850040276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798065526948874468.post-89329667763904340742012-03-21T22:30:00.361-05:002012-03-21T22:30:00.361-05:00I've read two recently.
