I am not a huge reader of memoirs, but this year I’ve read a few that I’ve really liked, including the one I’m currently listening to. See if you can identify the celebrities that penned these memoirs. They are all women. Each correct answer worth 6.25 points. You have until Thursday night to submit your answers. I hide your answers until then.
Here are the rules… 1. Open to everyone. Play once or every week, that’s okay. I’m happy to have you here today.
2. No cheating. No googling, other internet searches or looking at other commenter answers. Yes, we’re going by the honor system
3. Your first answers will be the only ones accepted.
Last week’s quiz here. Current leaderboard here.
