Todays BTT question:Suggested by Callista83:
Do you read celebrity memoirs? Which ones have you read or do you want to read? Which nonexistent celebrity memoirs would you like to see?
I certainly do read celebrity memoirs. I am picky about which celebrity - it has to be someone that I really like and admire. I won't waste my time reading a celebrity memoir just because it is on a bestseller list or highly advertised.
Three of my favorite celebrity memoirs are Gilda Radners "It's Always Something" (although while reading it, I was convinced that I had ovarian cancer) Dolly Partons "My Life and Other Unfinished Business" and Mary Higgins Clark "Kitchen Priviledges".
I am not sure of any nonexistent celebrity memoirs that I would like to read. I am on the waiting list for "Poisoned Heart: I Married Dee Dee Ramone" by Vera Ramone King (although that may not count as a "celebrity" memoir since Vera is writing it about her husband who was the celebrity). On its way to me in the mail from PBS is Melissa Gilbert's "Prairie Tale" I have read many mixed reviews about it, mostly being negative. Of course, I will need to check it out for myself! :)
Which celebrity memoir is your favorite? Who's celebrity memoir would you like to see written?
I do hope I don't end up being the only one that doesn't like these, lol
ReplyDeleteI don't really read celebrity novels. I rely on the news media for all the info!
ReplyDeleteSeems like Gilda Radner's memoir was a stressful read for you!
ReplyDeleteRebecca: It was. But I had to keep reading it. :)
ReplyDeleteI prefer memoirs of real people like Mahatma Gandhi!
ReplyDeleteI don't really care that for memoirs. I think a celeb one would be even worse. Celebs
ReplyDeleteI love to read celebrity memoirs. Though like you, I am picky over the ones I choose. That Melissa Gilbert one sounds good.
ReplyDeleteI don't read celebrity memoirs - I don't think I would trust anything that they wrote.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the long weekend!
I didn't realize Mary Higgins Clark had a memoir called 'Kitchen Privileges'. I absolutely love her suspense works. I'll check it out, thanks!
ReplyDeleteHere's me.
I read William Shatner's and Maureen McCormick's memoirs, but that's about it. I don't go out of my way to get them, but if something interests me, I'll check it out.
ReplyDeleteI don't read many celebrity memoirs, but I might like to read Gilda Radner's book.
ReplyDeleteI might like reading about Gilda Radner & Melissa Gilbert.
ReplyDeleteI love reading AUTHOR memoirs.I have read a few celeb ones but none stand out at the moment.
ReplyDeleteI have read a few, but don't make a habit of it. These days it doesn't take much to be considered a celebrity and I just don't care enough or have the desire to read about their personal lives. Although, years ago I read Dolly Parton's too and I did enjoy that one. Thanks for stopping by my blog today, Missy!
ReplyDeleteI love memoir and write it myself, but normally do not read celebrity memoir.
ReplyDeleteLast read - Joan Didion - The Year of Magical Thinking. Great book.
Thanks for visiting my blog! I'm the same as you really, I only read the ones that I am really interested in. Happy BTT!
ReplyDeleteI wrote about Gene Wilder's memoir, Kiss Me Like A Stranger for BTT. I would be interesting to see Gilda Radner's perspective on their time together.
ReplyDeleteThx for visiting :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any celeb memoirs but maybe someday
