Thanks for the tag, @rubyslippersreads , even if I‘m very, very late to the #AlphabetGame. 🤦🏻‍♀️

#LetterA has to be this wonderful autobiography. Ava spoke so honestly and had quite a wry sense of humor. This is also the book that started my obsession for reading celebrity memoirs.

Centique I love celebrity biographies from this era so I‘m sure this memoir would be wonderful too. Thanks for putting it on my radar! 2y

rubyslippersreads I love celebrity bios too, but I somehow missed this one sounds fascinating. 2y
MemoirsForMe @Centique Me too! I‘m just listening to one by Lauren Bacall now. Love memoirs of these Hollywood Legends! 2y
MemoirsForMe @rubyslippersreads This one was published in 1990 and I really felt like I was having a personal conversation with Ava. Very honest and real. Not to be confused with the newer bio (The Secret Conversations). That one was more scandalous.😳 2y
rubyslippersreads @UwannaPublishme I read that one, but feel I‘d like this one better. 2y
MemoirsForMe @rubyslippersreads Guaranteed! 😊👍🏻 2y

Not a book, but a web comic! I recommend Ava's Demon. It updates on Thursday's, has beautiful art, and the story is addictive! Do yourselves a favor and check it out ✌

An amazing read on this gutsy actress. A roller coaster read, and life, from beginning to end.

BooksbyBJThompson Thank you! 6y
Cinfhen Are memoirs one of your favorite genres?? They definitely are for me 6y
BooksbyBJThompson Hey, thats great! More autobiographies, I suppose, but just on a few chosen people. But if I post, that means these autobios books were perfect. No erroneous gossip or sensational tell-all junk. 6y

How could I pick what looks like a cheesy Hollywood memoir as my favorite Under the Radar book? Ava's raw and gutsy honesty and the way she spoke her mind and stood her ground with some of the most powerful men in the industry really empowered me. I admired her fearlessness to speak her mind in an era of complacency. I really felt like she was speaking to me and many women personally urging us to speak up and take no BS. 💪🏻
