I’m currently reading Melania Trump’s memoir Melania. Since hubby got me the hardcover collector’s edition the size of the book is huge. I think it’s 8.5 x 11. This makes it very uncomfortable to read. I can’t just hold it...

I want to stay in this area pictured above for at least a month. I will consume a Mediterranean diet hike around in the hills and wander on the beach. Maybe I will write my memoir, a romance or two, and learn how to cook some...

Yes, this is another book review. I don't think I need to tell you what the story is about; everyone knows Matthew Perry. If you don't, what rock have you been living under?
This book cannot be rated. As I said...

I started reading this book months ago, and much like anything else in my life, it got interrupted. However when news broke that the author died, I decided to go ahead and give it another go.
I knew it was going to be a heart...

Not really a book review because as someone pointed out, you can't really rate someone's life story or memoir.
I don't want to hear any arguments about this. It was a fabulous book and as Prince Harry points out, memories are a...

My partner bought me this book as a birthday present; he knows I enjoy travel writing and I used to ride horses so it seemed a perfect fit – horseback adventure in a country I’ve never visited.
Well I did quite enjoy reading it...

I know I’m only one of millions of people asking the same question, but seriously, why?
Why would you reveal the excruciatingly embarrassing details from your past life? I mean yes it is the kind of thing you might expect from...

Alex Trebek reflects on his life in this last writing before his passing last year. Each "chapter" is short, like little anecdotes, with lots of photographs sprinkled within the book.
I enjoyed reading about the behind-the-scenes...

One of the main reasons that I enjoyed this book was because it reminded me of growing up in the 1970s. Although I am several years older than the author Grace Dent , I can still identify with the lifestyle and food that was...

Because I have misplaced my journal where I started to write the story. I think, it is in my house in the Philippines or somewhere here in my home in Germany. I have been looking for it for a long time. I can´t wait until I have...

This is a memoir about a couple who found an old castle they wanted to renovate back to the original. The story takes place in Wales and the language is a little hard for me to understand as I had to look a few words up in the...

Like most things in my life, I am eons late in reading this book. I have to admit I thought it sounded stupid and overrated, especially after the movie came out. I know, I shouldn’t be so judgey. I found the book at the thrift...
