I really read fiction more often than non-fiction, so this was pretty tough. I loved Pre-Code Hollywood by Thomas Doherty when I read it last year. I also really enjoyed Charles Boyer's biography by Larry Swindell and Joan Blondell's autobiography (disguised as fiction with names changed, but come on, it's non-fiction) Center Door Fancy. Once I finish Snakes and Ladders by Dirk Bogarde (the second installment in his autobiographical series) I'm sure that one will top my list as well.. so far I love the way he writes!

I usually only read fiction, too! I've barely read ANY non-fiction. Lord Byron's biography is probably the one exception, to date. ;]
That book looks interesting, though. I shall have to take a look, I think.

Hey Kate,

I'm new to following you.

Found you through a rabbit hole of watching YouTube videos and somehow ended up here.

What is this numbered day thing you're doing? How can I play along?

Andi- me too, I have no clue why but I'm always more interested in reading fiction except for the occasional biography. I started Lauren Bacall's autobio recently and it's really good!

Glamour Bomb- Hi! It's a tag that I saw going around tumblr & blogger so I just started doing it myself. Feel free to jump on the bandwagon! :-D

I've never heard of this book, but I love pre-code too, so I'll have to look into it!

I hope you don't mind my saying that it doesn't surprise me that you like Dirk Bogarde's writing style... hehe. No, but seriously, I've been trying to get into nonfiction too. That's really odd that Joan Blondell's autobiography is labeled fiction due to name changes.
