Best Memoirs to Read on We Love Memoirs Day
We Love Memoirs Day is celebrated by memoir authors and readers every year on August 31. The holiday began in 2013 and quickly took over the world. We Love Memoirs Day (WLM Day) was initiated by a Facebook group created by Alan Parks and Victoria Twead. These two memoirists wanted to create a welcoming environment for readers and authors of memoirs to discuss their memoirs and share opinions. Alan Parks is the author of the "Seriously Mum" series, and Victoria Twead is a NY Times bestseller well-known as the author of the "Old Fools" series.
