15 MEMOIR BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS 2022 | dark & disturbing memoirs that you can't put down 😬

[@zanichar]

A Piece Of Cake by Cupcake Brown is a great memoir. That woman went through a lot, but her journey is interesting, and is so good it reads like fiction. I highly recommend!

[@crishnaholmes7730]

Do you think people helped her with it

[@lisahall2577]

Thank you for these recommendations!! Always looking forward to your next book vlogs !! 🤗

[@thecozycommune]

You are welcome!

I love the background of this video, I love your dresser, and I love the fact that I’ve read and enjoyed so many of these and have all the rest on my wishlist/TBR. Also, multiple of these are available on Scribd!

[@thecozycommune]

Thank you! This is our bedroom and all our furniture is from Amazon believe it or not 😂 I hope you enjoy the others on this list that you haven't read yet!

[@BohoBookworm]

Sooooo many good books here! Educated and A Stolen Life... phenomenal. Two of the best memoirs I've ever read. There's so many on here I want to read too! Aww seeing you get emotional a few times in this video is beautiful though knowing the things the doctors are giving you are working! Xxxx

[@thecozycommune]

I hope you try out some of the other recs!

[@vanessajanik4623]

For the most part your list is right up my alley so I’m gonna check out many of your recommendations. I read the Jaycee Dugard story & it’s so sad & disturbing but also hopeful. It’s just crazy what psycho’s can get away with for so long.

I bought Elton John Me after your review a while back but haven't read it yet. Looking forward to it though! I'm going to get The Sound of Gravel today 😘 Thank you for these great reviews!!❤️

[@thecozycommune]

Ahhhh I hope you love the sound of gravel!

Fellow lover of disturbing trauma based memoirs. Have you read a long way gone, memoirs of a boy soldier? So good!

[@thecozycommune]

I have not!

[@karenmiller1105]

Ghost Boy was an incredible book. Full of emotions. Left a gigantic impression on me.

[@helloamycus]

Night by Eli Weisel is a really great short, quick read. His memoir of his and his fathers time spent in Auschwitz

[@krystlesherwood0204]

This is my favourite video about what books to get loved it . Can't wait for more

[@thoughtsofjoyk]

Thank you! I actually read most of your recommendations, but not all! Yay for new books!! I glanced at some of my faves, so maybe you can get one or two from these: Born a Crime (Noah), If You Tell (Olsen), Escape From Camp 14 (Harden), Miracle in the Andes (Parrado), and A Mother’s Reckoning (Klebold). Forgot to mention - they all are not “dark and disturbing,” but good nonetheless. 😊

[@thecozycommune]

I love If you Tell! I didn't include it on here since it technically was true crime and not a memoir, but I gave it 5 stars!

[@thoughtsofjoyk]

@@thecozycommune I just saw this book on my shelf and thought of you. It’s called Escape (Jessop).

[@thecozycommune]

Yes! When I'm done with reading to zero, I'm getting that from my library.

Swimming to freedom by kent wong She touched the world about laura bridgeman Let it go by chris williams Strangers in the storm jared rund and duanr mckenney Where theres hope by elizabeth smart The day the workd came to town by jim defede Gifted hands by ben carson

[@johnsaxongitno4life588]

All I can say is that my wallet says stop coming out with amazing and fantastic videos as you are making me wanna get all of these books 📚🥰🥰🥰

[@greeneggsandsambooks]

I did not know Glass Castle was a movie but now I need to find it. I read it when I was in high school upon a friend's recommendation and it had such effective writing that made me so emotional. I've added several from this list to my want to reads!

[@thecozycommune]

The movie I think is on Amazon Prime for free!

[@greeneggsandsambooks]

@@thecozycommune ooh my grandparents pay for prime I might need to borrow their login 😂

[@michellahalstead1810]

In order to live by Yeonmi Park, A piece of cake by cupcake brown, Lady in waiting by Anne glenconner, and undress me in the temple of heaven by Suzanne Gilman

[@daijahsbookworld]

i definitely need to read more memoirs! would love to see you read more poc memoirs. ik there are some written by survivors of jonestown who a lot of happened to be black women

[@thecozycommune]

I'll have to look into that! I belive from the ones I read, Hunger, Know my Name and All Boys aren't Blue are all written by poc authors, but I don't think I mentioned that at the time of filming.

[@thecozycommune]

If you have any other poc memoir recs, send them my way! I'll start doing some research!

[@daijahsbookworld]

@@thecozycommune i didn’t know hunger was but the other 2 i did know! there definitely are culty poc memoirs but they are usually less popular

[@thecozycommune]

@@daijahsbookworld oooooo I'll be looking for them! Thank you!

[@crishnaholmes7730]

[@reneeobie8352]

I read the sound of gravel bc you recommended it. I loved it too!

[@thecozycommune]

I'm so glad!

[@Typewritereditz]

22:46 You must read ANGELA’S ASHES, if you haven’t already.

[@reneeobie8352]

I'm not a Jessica Simpson fan but I really enjoyed her audio memoir. She doesnt hold anything back..she talks about troubles with alcohol, relationships etc

[@thecozycommune]

A few people have said that one is good!

[@paul.5125]

Just discovered this Vlog. Really enjoyed it. Have now subscribed.

[@angelaholmes8888]

I read hunger two years ago it's a well thought book Me is a really good memoir

[@suehayward-ault3587]

Loved this thanks 😊

[@sherryhook9066]

Great reviews! Been quite awhile since I read memoirs. I have on my tbr list, Valerie Bertinelli's 'Enough Already' and Justin Bateman's 'Face, One Square Foot of Skin'. Should be interesting reads. 😊😘🤗🥰⚘🌷💐🌺

[@thecozycommune]

I've never heard of those, I'll have to look them up!

[@alejandramunozbaidoc7137]

You had me at dark and disturbing 😅

[@keepingtdream]

Thank you, I definitely will read Educated.I highly suggest Yanni's 2003 memoir, called Yanni In Words. The Washington Post has called Yanni's career 'a miracle, a lesson in pluck that could be taught in business school, preached from pulpits and woven into bedtime stories.

[@thecozycommune]

Thank you! I'll look thst one up!

[@goodqueen4]

I've already read a few of these. I also recommend Leah Remini's book Trouble Maker.

[@thecozycommune]

I did read that one!

[@sandraraedeer4849]

I really enjoyed Member Of The Family.

[@thecozycommune]

So so good!

[@NotTheFlag1]

i already sent you an email regarding my book not the flag. if you like a dark and twisted story you should check it out but its only 50 pages. i will be elaborating a lot more after my family get to the US safe and sound. Im sure you know how the Iranian government is retaliatory so i cut the original length in half from 100 pages to 50 pages. I will be hiring a new ghostwriter to get into detail about my journey. I hope you like it and i loved your recommendations :)
