Shirley Jackson: A Rather Haunted Life. It's been years since I read it so can't say how it holds up against the Kerry rules, but I remember really liking it! Also Life (Keith Richards) which was looong but I remember being interesting and certainly named some names.
YES to Katie Holmes. Also, Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen (their coffee table book “Influence” doesn’t count!)
Searches by Vauhini Vara is a recent fave for it’s unsparing reflections on how we consume/engage digitally, and unique experimental style (who knew 10 pages of unfiltered Google searches could be so gripping?!)
I found Ione Skye's memoir, despite the name dropping, exceptionally "meh." I think it was due to your point #3--all the chronology; very, very little introspection.

Oh wait wait WAIT do I need to do a “music themed books” newsletter omg do I? Either way these are great suggestions..
You do! And in honor of Shirley Jackson and with Halloween coming up, might I suggest a spooky-themed newsletter?
This is a great theme but I am not a person who PARTICULARLY likes spooky/being scared … I’ll see what I can do!

Oh the Olsens would be faaaascinating (especially as a lens on how we treated girls in the 90s/00s). Looking up Searches now - thank you!!

Ooh, this is good intel because I sometimes think, “should I Rwanda that?”
Madonna! The stories that woman must have....
She has ALL the stories! Write your memoir, Madonna! Blow up the internet one last time!
