Book Raves

We review memoirs and books on writing in this blog, highlighting what the story is about. But, more importantly, we suggest what you might learn about writing your own memoir from reading the reviewed book. We want to help you sharpen your writing skills and enhance your storytelling abilities.

You’ll notice that we link the book title to Amazon.com. When you buy any of these books by using our link, Amazon.com returns a bit of their profit to us, helping to sustain this site. Thank you.

We review about four books a month. If you’d like to know when we post a new review, be sure to go to the column to your right and sign up for Memoir Writing News and Tips. This way we can notify you when we have posted a new book review.

If you have any special category of memories that you would like us to review, please let us know. We’re here to help you.
