An Unfinished Marriage by Joan Anderson
The Tender Bar by J.R. Moehringer
Without Reservations by Alice Steinbach

Okay so that is my list for now. A lot of these titles were on my list and by my bedside for a challenge I never started but wanted to, books about books. A lot of others have a similar theme of running away to discover oneself which I find quite tempting now that my youngest is 18 years old. Anyway, I'm sure my list may morph into more over time but for now, this seems like a good start.

I haven't read any of the books of your list, so I am looking forward to all your reviews, but especially to the one of the Jill Ker Conway book, because I have that on my wishlist of books I want to read some time.
sigh...now I have more ideas for my list!
I love memoirs and have read a few on your list. Have fun! I'll be looking to see what you think.
Wow...that is a lot of books. I have a feeling my stack will start growing from yours.
What an impressive list! And I love the picture. :)
