Readers' 99 Most Popular Memoirs of the Past 10 Years
Posted by Cybil on August 1, 2025
"For this collection, we're tightening up the focus just a little bit. We've collected below the most popular and highly rated memoirs from the past 10 years, according to Goodreads members' ratings and reviews. Each of the titles below earned a minimum 3.5 rating from readers, and the books are sequenced according to overall popularity.
Some of the books up top may look familiar, even if you haven't read them yet. Several broke out into the general cultural conversation in the years they were released, like Michelle Zauner's Crying in H Mart, Suleika Jaouad's Between Two Kingdoms, and Carmen Maria Machado's In the Dream House. You'll find a few brand-new books from 2025 here, too, like Sarah Wynn-Williams' Careless People and Shari Franke's The House of My Mother."
