Switching it up (just slightly) to bring you my 9 favorite memoirs I read in 2024 in no particular order cause wow, they were all so good. Plus a bonus of my 3 favorite works of fiction I read this year. As usual, each book is accompanied by my favorite line from it. Re-visiting these words this New Year’s Eve has been a gift. Cheers to another year of reading and writing!
