Literary journey of an office career escapee
The words that came first to my mind when I started writing a review of Tina Turner’s autobiography “My Love Story” – simply the best. I know it’s incredibly lame and exactly what can be expected when discussing the queen of rock & roll. But Tina Turner was so extraordinary, with her volcanic energy that... Continue Reading →
I have mixed emotions after reading this book. I did enjoy it. Mariah Carey does what she promises at the beginning of her memoir: she tells her story as she has lived it. She shares, I believe, honestly, how different situations and different people in her life made her feel and what she was thinking... Continue Reading →
People often do bad things. In some cases, the bad things they’ve done have long-lasting consequences for other people. Bad things done to children always have the most devastating consequences. “Her Alibi” is a revealing, heart-wrenching memoir written by a person with a truly brave heart. Mary L. Schmidt doesn’t spare the details of what has turned... Continue Reading →
I love reading autobiographies, and this one didn’t disappoint. It is absolutely mesmerizing to follow the path to stardom of someone who made it. The thing I find the most curious is that there are no rules one can apply to become rich, famous, and loved by millions. Every star’s story I’ve read could have... Continue Reading →
I don’t like writing about the books I have mixed feelings about after reading. That’s why it took me a while to write a review of “A Song for You: My Life with Whitney Houston” by Robyn Crawford. It’s not that I didn’t like the book. It is just this nagging feeling that something isn’t right.... Continue Reading →

I’ll be adding more. “Will” by Will Smith has the most important feature that makes an autobiography worth reading: sincerity. I’m not... Continue Reading →
An amazing, inspiring book that motivates better than any highly acclaimed positive thinking coach."The Salt Path" is a story about the trip the author and her husband had made in order to escape homelessness, the loss of their cherished home they'd been investing all their time and efforts into for over 30 years, and the...

I really enjoyed reading this book. Even more than the author's book dedicated to the First Ladies.This is a collection of stories told by many different voices, and that's what makes it special. I'm not a fan of scandals and embarrassing details, so I liked that this book is focused on domestic routines, funny moments,... Continue Reading →
I truly loved this book. The style is refreshingly simple, but the thoughts - wise. Maye Musk doesn't share extensive personal details, which is rarely welcome, only if a person likes that particular thing in memoir, but at the same time, you read and really see the person behind the book.While reading “A Woman Makes...

I've developed a true passion for biographies and autobiographies in a recent couple of years. It started with the two books given to me by my friend to read. The biography of Winston Churchill's mother (the most fascinating read) and the autobiography of Agatha Christie (one of the best autobiographies I've read so far).I'm not... Continue Reading →
