Thank you for reminding me of Rickman’s memoir, which I put on my list immediately. And if you’re taking votes, I loved this review--more, please!

I loved Rickman's diary! Wasn't he an incredible diarist! I haven't read Spare yet. And I hate that I want to read it! So thanks for these excellent reviews. Such a great pairing.

I think I just learned more about memoirs in one go than I have up until this point, so thank you for that.

Oh my gosh, that's so flattering. Of course! I love memoirs, they're usually so fun.

At the risk of putting myself in the firing line, what has their colour got to do with anything? Spare WAS ghostwritten.

Interesting idea to compare and contrast two memoirs.

Definitely write more reviews, Valorie
