What a great list! I only started reading memoirs this year. I actually didn't read a book last year although I consume a lot of other written content. Then I realise how long it had been and how much I'd missed just reading a book. So I started this year with Maggie Smith's "You Could Make This Place Beautiful". It was the first memoir I'd ever read - and now I'm hooked. I'm not sure what I thought a memoir was but for some reason I thought they'd be boring. They aren't. So I'll be adding some new ones from your list!
Wow, thank you for including my books here, Liz! I'm honoured as I also love the work of sue Townsend, Nina Stibbe and Caitlin Moran. Keen to try some of the other writers you mention now :)

Fantastic! 📖 I’ve heard wonderful things about Maggie Smith’s book. I love memoir. Let me know what you decide to read next.
Have you read Sue Townsend's 'Rebuilding Coventry'? In some ways it's unlike anything else she wrote and is probably my favourite of her books.
No, but I definitely will now. Thank you! Absolutely love her writing.

Loved both your books, Deborah. Hope you enjoy the ones on my list. 📚
Thanks, Liz, for including me in this list of fab laugh-worthy writers!
Love your writing, Fran!
That's very kind :)
I've just started How to Build a Girl! So funny. It's a great read for when I'm on the treadmill :)
