pickA lovely time. It's a treat to encounter a mix of humble and enthusiastic maker who is also a writer, meaning the description of their discovered passion is that much more a joy to read. I loved the journey from haphazard, curious, to more knowledgeable, but still eager. There are shenanigans, but there's also beautiful descriptions of nature, of appreciating the time spent. 1/?
Incredible writing: inventive descriptions in non-fiction is one of my favourite things.
First page and it's already giving Terry Pratchett style footnotes. I LOVE IT! 😁
pick“When it was my turn, I nervously approached the counter and described the project. I had a wood stove and just needed it installed. They asked what the cabin looked like, so I carefully drew a box with a triangle on top. ‘This is the roof,‘ I said, pointing to the triangle.” 😆
pickThis is a memoir about a young man who is not finding satisfaction with his job and on a whim buys a very rundown off grid cabin. We follow his adventures as he upgrades the place on a very limited budget and with no previous skills to draw on. Along the way he learns more about life and what he wants out of it. Thanks to both NetGalley and Edelweiss+ for the digital ARCs. I really enjoyed it as it was light & funny, but still a worthy read. 4/5
