TTT: Ten Memoirs Read So Far in 2025, Ranked


Top Ten Tuesday: 
Ranking the Ten Memoirs I've Read So Far in 2025

I'm off-topic today.

Typically I don't read that many memoirs. Last year, for example, I read nine all year. For some reason, unknown even to myself, 2025 has been a big year for me and memoirs. In 2025 I've read ten so far and the year isn't even half over. With this in mind, since ten is such a nice round number, I thought it would be fun to name and rank them here on TTT, with graphics from my StoryGraph account. 

I sometimes look back on the ratings I gave books and wondered why I rated the book the way I did. Some of the books I think of as favorites later on I didn't give a "5" and others I can hardly remember I did. Knowing this I decided to not manipulate my ratings. I'd just go with my initial rating, even if I can't justify it to you now. Photos are hyperlinked if I wrote a review for the memoir.
