Reading is one of my favorite hobbies. There is nothing better than sitting outside on a nice day with a good book. Recently, I have gotten into female biographies. I love reading about how different women perceive life, so I decided to make a list of some autobiographies that you should put on your 'to read' list.
"Yes Please" by Amy Poehler
In Poehler's hilarious book, she shares her story about growing up, struggling to start her career, and eventually becoming a successful comedian. She also talks about her cult classic show "Parks and Recreation."
"Bossypants" by Tina Fey
I have always loved Tina Fey. I think she is a brilliant writer. From "Mean Girls" to "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt," I think everything she writes is funny. This book proved no different. I LOVED it. Her stories growing up and times on set of SNL and 30 Rock were hilarious. And although the book made me laugh out loud, her thank-you to cast mates made me smile and her poem to her daughter made me cry.
"Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns)" by Mindy Kaling
Kaling's book about wanting to be a writer with first-generation parents is so relatable you can't help but laugh. Because she was an actor (and writer) on "The Office," she also shares a lot about the beloved work place comedy.
"The Glass Castle" by Jeannette Walls

This memoir of Walls' unconventional childhood is truly inspiring. Growing up, Jeannette moved from place to place with her siblings, her alcoholic father, and her aloof artistic mother. And even though they never lived in the most comfortable places, her parents gave her love and encouraged her to use her imagination. Her story shows that with hard work you can make it anywhere, despite where you come from.
"Becoming" by Michelle Obama

I'm in the middle of reading this book now, but I love it so much I had to put it on the list. Michelle Obama is such an inspiring woman, and this book made my admiration for her grow even more. Born and raised in the South side of Chicago, Michelle Obama shares her story about how she didn't let her environment define who she was. She sought out the best education she could and eventually went to Harvard Law School.
All of these books use witty humor, personal anecdotes, and important life lessons to share each of their unique perspectives on life. But in the end, they all have the same message: hard-work and determination will get you anywhere.
