August 31: We Love Memoirs Day

We Love Memoirs Day is observed worldwide every August 31, celebrating memoir authors and readers. Inaugurated in 2013 by memoir authors Alan Parks and Victoria Twead through a Facebook group, the holiday fosters a friendly environment for discussing memoirs and exchanging opinions. The group, known for its welcoming atmosphere, discourages authors from promoting their own books, instead encouraging community engagement among members. To celebrate the day, participants are encouraged to read a memoir they have been meaning to explore or revisit a favorite one, sharing their thoughts with fellow memoir enthusiasts. The day often features virtual parties hosted by the We Love Memoirs group, further enhancing connections among memoir lovers.
