This has been a great year for new books and now Barnes & Noble’s list of the best books shines a light on them. In this article, we will be looking at their picks for the best biographies and memoirs of 2025!

I have been a lot more consistent in reading more biographies and nonfiction books in 2025. While I love the genre, I don’t come across too many autobiographies and memoirs that I want to read. But others enjoy them a lot more than me and I do love finding great reads. You can see the full list below!

This year, there were a ton of great biographies and memoirs worth checking out. Depending on who you are a fan of, you’ll enjoy them a lot.

There are books from musicians, actors, and every other profession in between. We also can’t ignore the memoir by Malala Yousafzai, Finding My Way and from Michelle Obama called The Look. I will be adding The Anthony Bourdain Reader: New, Classic, and Rediscovered Writing by Anthony Bourdain to my reading list

Conclusion

These are Barnes & Noble’s best biographies and memoirs of 2025. It is hard to say if this is a good list or not and I am sure a lot of it depends on how much of a fan you are of the person. Will you be reading any biographies and memoirs on this list? Let us know in the comments below!
