Omg I love Dolly I need to look into that!
Hmm this does seem fun! Can you explain more your point #3 about lesser known authors? Do you mean for ones that are co-authored?

Good point! So in the publishing industry, especially big presses, are all money based and celebrity memoirs are a guarantee to make a bunch of money which allows the publishers to take risks by publishing unknown authors that might not bring in much money/ publish at a loss! Does that make sense? :3
Ooooh interesting I didn’t know that!
Home and Home Work by Julie and Andrews are both stellar!
This is a fun list! Do you want suggestions in other languages too or do you only want to include books in English?

Im more looking for books in English or have an English translation but please feel free to share any books youd like 😊
Ok, no problem 😊 I was going to suggest Por si las voces vuelven by Ángel Martín. He's a Spanish comedian and his memoir narrates the time in his life when he had a psychotic break, as well as the before and after. The audiobook is read by him and I quite liked it! A lot of people read this book in Spain and it helped a bit to break the stigma against serious mental illness
