Book Club | Team BB Recommends: Autobiographies and Memoirs

 

Welcome to the first of our roundup series where we'll be sharing ideas for some of our 2021 book club reading prompts.

We wanted to include at least one non-fiction prompt on our 2021 book club reading list and we think autobiographies/memoirs are a great way to learn about different life experiences and points of view. Whilst we're sure many of our readers are already fans of the genre, if it isn't your usual go-to or you're simply stuck for ideas today's post is for you! 

Below are 17 suggested titles you could pick up for our 2021 book club prompt 'an autobiography or memoir'. If you have any favourites not listed here we'd love for you to leave further suggested reads in the comments section below, or tag @bloggersbookshelf on Instagram.
