pickA stagnate, desperate existence becomes fertile ground for obsession to root deep.
And the temporary respite it offers through fantasy and distraction so easily gives way to danger and tragic consequence.
Suitably dark, like so many fairy tales of old.
And a practical reminder to never feed the wildlife…
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! 😁
so-so#@carolshieldsprize This was a fast read for me. It was well written, but I did not think the novel was special. 3 🌟 I am surprised it is on the long list.
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.” 😆
panI assume this book is a metaphor for domestic abuse? If I look at it through that lens I like it ok. If not, then I really didn‘t. Characters are irritating, whole story line is boring, nobody evolves. I wish the bear was interesting in some way. If you don‘t want to read it, the mom dies and the sister gets eaten by the bear 🤷♀️. To be honest, I legit lol‘d at that second one 😆
pickI was so bummed to not finish this in time during #CampLitsy and therefore was thrilled to see it on @monalyisha‘s #AuldLangSpine list; will now have to go back and read the discussion that I missed! I found this very emotionally engaging, and the writing had me vividly picturing characters, setting, and scenes throughout. Have the film rights to this been purchased? 🤔 Would be great on screen.
