One of the best parts of blogging — and blogging books, especially — has been expanding my reading horizons to include all sorts of stories I wouldn’t “normally” read. Once subsisting on a diet of only chick lit and young adult, friends’ reviews of all sorts of books have really pushed me to grow as a reader . . . and a person.
As Kim enjoys a well-deserved vacation, I’m guest-posting today over at Sophisticated Dorkiness on female-driven memoirs that make really great stories. Once upon a time, wrinkled-nose Meg was afraid to branch into non-fiction because so much of what I’d been exposed to could be easily classified as mind-numbingly boring. Giving memoirs a chance as an adult has changed all that.
Pop over and check out the post — and happy Monday!
write meg! 
O I love that quote. 🙂

Going to check out your guest post now! And I have that bag pictured above. Greyson uses it as an overnight bag when he goes to his dad’s house because bookworm mamas do things like that.

Ooh, I can relate to the wrinkled-nose attitude about non-fiction… I want to like it, I really do! But for some reason I end up wandering away mid-read. Maybe I just haven’t found the right non-fiction yet.

I completely agree. One of my favorite parts about blogging is that I have been exposed to a ton of great books that I NEVER would have picked up on my own!

The only female memoir I’ve ever read is Ruby Wax’s and I am not ashamed of having read it! It was great and I was about fourteen at the time. In fact I’ve just bought her latest book… 😉
