OK, so I am not much of a nonfiction person. I don't even go to that section of the library or bookstore unless I am looking for something specific. But, I decided that I could try to read biographies or autobiographies because they seem like they would be interesting. I figured that they had a character and plot line that I could connect with, like the fiction books I am so fond of. Well, I just finished two autobiographies or memoirs I guess they are more accurately called, I want to tell you about.
This first memoir I finished was
Sliding Into Home by Kendra Wilkinson. This book is all about Kendra from the TV show
The Girls Next Door and
Kendra. It chronicles her life from when she young and into drugs through her time at the mansion and her marriage to Hank. If you are familiar with the shows, this book shouldn't have a lot of surprises.
I really liked the book. Kendra has a way of bringing you into her story without trying to make you feel sorry for her. She basically tells it like it is and if you don't like it, too bad. As far as my first memoirs go, not too bad.
The second memoir I want to tell you about in this post is
It Ain't All About The Cookin' by Paula Deen. This book talks about Paula's life from her childhood up through her two marriages. It catalogues her triumphs and defeats and she really talks about things in a realistic way. She doesn't sugar coat the bad things that happened to her. I had a blast reading this book.
Well, I hope you enjoyed my post about biographies. I am not sure if I am going to continue reading biographies, but I am glad that I read those two.
