Leigh Stein Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

Leigh Stein

The audio version of I'm Glad My Mom Died has sold 500,000 copies (??!!!!) From what I can tell, this has to be the bestselling memoir on BookTok...understandably so, since that audience grew up w Jennette McCurdy.

I’VE LITERALLY BEEN WAITING FOR THIS BOOK FOR A DECADE—SMASH THAT PREORDER BUTTON!

@ChelseaHodson in the category of bibliomemoir there’s Elif Batuman’s The Possessed; Autobiography of Carson McCullers; My Life in Middlemarch… in music there’s that whole 33 1/3 series (I think the Celine Dion one is supposed to be good)

I'm struck now by the similarity between @Plathbiography's bio of Sylvia (I'm on page 300-something) + Francine Prose's book on Anne Frank, which I've read twice: both are about women made famous by death but the authors take their subjects' ambitions v. seriously.
