Stories from all walks of life can be found @ your library

Every Day Is Extra by John Kerry


“The difference between memoir and autobiography can be fuzzy, but Every Day Is Extra . . . has both the reflective candor of the former and the painstaking, chronological detail of the latter.” 




Full Disclosure by Stormy Daniels and Michael Avenatti



"Daniels emerges as a force to be reckoned with—and not someone to cross. Of interest to politics junkies but with plenty of lessons on taking charge of one's own life."


In Pieces by Sally Field



"Brimming with open introspection, engaging anecdotes, and gorgeous photographs, Field's moving account sheds light on how playing larger-than-life figures has enabled her to keep her feet on the ground."





Always Look on the Bright Side of Life: A Sortabiography by Eric Idle


“When you have a tour guide as engaging as Eric Idle, you’ll gladly go wherever he takes you. The writer and comedian best known as a member of the British sketch troupe Monty Python has curated an intimate journey of what it was like to be a writer who suddenly found himself a massively famous actor. . . . It’s also the kind of book you’ll want to read twice—once when the genius of Python sketches are fresh in your memory, and once when those scenes have faded so you can be reminded how these comedy rebels shook up an art form that was due for a dose of surreal silliness.”







Small Fry by Lisa Brennan-Jobs

"Brennan-Jobs benefits from her father's story, but her prose doesn't require his spotlight to shine."
