Best Entertainment Memoirs of 2024

From the hottest celebrity memoirs to the most anticipated music books of the year, find your next compelling read on Barnes & Noble’s Best Life Stories in Entertainment Books of 2024. Diving into the lives and work of some of the most iconic actors and musicians, these books are some of our favorite reads this year. Whether you’re looking for funny personal stories, heartfelt reflections or want to discover the meaning behind the songs from artists we love, these are the books that will deliver.

The celebrity memoir space features some of the best books of the year. Truly authentic and incredible, Cher: The Memoir, Part One, is the one-of-a-kind life story of Cher, told by the superstar herself, tracing from her humble origins to the remarkable heights she’s reached and everything in between. From Here to the Great Unknown is Lisa Marie Presley’s story straight from the source. If you've ever wondered what it's like being the only child of a legend, read it in her own words. Al Pacino's Sonny Boy is another favorite in the memoir genre. His life is massive in scope — from Michael Corleone to Tony Montana. Here he takes on the task of telling it all, from the origin of his inspiration to the man he is now.

Some of the best music books of 2024 include books about iconic artists that revolutionized the songs we listen to. Elton John’s Farewell Yellow Brick Road gives readers a lens into his memories of life on tour including a glimpse into every aspect of his spectacular shows, while The Silver Snarling Trumpet shares the untold origin story of The Grateful Dead told through the lens of its iconic visionary. The intimate biography, The Name of This Band Is R.E.M., about the rock band whose music had taken over the world is a much anticipated must-read this year.

But these music legends are not the only ones with great books this year. Heartbreak is The National Anthem, an unprecedented look into the life of Taylor Swift, told by the only journalist close enough to tell it is a must-have for any Swifties looking for the next great insight into her stardom. Widely known as the voice of the generation, Taylor Swift is celebrated for her many songs spanning multiple genres from pop to country. Covering more than 200 songs that delve deeply into Taylor’s life, Taylor Swift: The Stories Behind the Songs is not to be missed.

Celebrity life stories make for some of the most entertaining reads, and we simply couldn’t put down Joanna "JoJo" Levesque’s Over the Influence, Whoopi Goldberg’s Bits & Pieces and Tom Selleck’s You Never Know. The Third Gilmore Girl, a witty and warm look at the life and legacy of a Hollywood star and the show that made her everyone's pesky, loving grandmother also made us laugh and cry this year. In Runaway Train, another one of the best books of 2024, Eric Roberts delivers an honest life story, taking fans through a relatable journey full of triumphs and pitfalls.

If you count Hocus Pocus among your favorite Halloween movies, then trick-or-treat yourself to Witches Run Amok, an ode to the spooky classic. It's got all the behind-the-scenes content, photos and interviews to warm your witchy little heart. Dinner for Vampires is another great choice for anyone who wants to learn more about Bethany Joy Lenz’s life behind the scenes of the hit drama One Tree Hill. Honest and darkly funny, this inspiring story is one of the best books we’ve read this year.

Other amazing books that made our Best Stories in Entertainment list include Brothers, told by Alex Van Halen, Cocaine and Rhinestones, the story of country music’s legendary couple George Jones and Tammy Wynette, From Under a Truck, Josh Brolin’s captivating memoir, and Master of Me, Keke Palmer's journey to the spotlight and beyond. Whether you’re looking for something fresh and exciting to read for yourself or a gift for someone else, these particularly entertaining reads of 2024 are the perfect choice.
