Another wonderful list of recommendations! Assata, Unfollow, and Heavy sound especially incredible.

I love memoirs and read a lot of them. Great video. Put a few on my TBR. Thanks.

I loved Fern Bradys memoir! Unfollow was harrowing.

I love it when memoirs are narrated by the authors, it gives you "something extra", the emotions are felt more keenly I think, so I really want to get 'Heavy' and 'Strong Female Character' as audiobooks.

wonderful video. I love memoirs and many of these I have not read. The cave diving one is especially interesting. Can't say I will get to all of them but that one is high on the list.

Just when I was keeping my non fiction TBR at bay… 😂 Have added The Way Through the Woods and Into the Planet. 👍

A Forger's Tale looks interesting. Could go with my nature heist overly specific niche haha, close enough anyways. I've seen Strong Female Character quite a bit. Way Through the Woods is tremendous. How have I never seen Unfollow before. Looks like another book to read to make me angry as if I don't have enough of those lol. That whole thing is soooo wacky. They protest the most arbitrarily connected things but it's nice when the biker clubs counter protest them. Oof I hated Into the Planet when I read it. Her and her first husband just came across terrible i thought. Anyways, great vid Emma

I do not like memoirs. However, I love your channel!
