This was an interesting twist on the haunted house story. Four novelists get an offer to spend the night in a haunted house for publicity. They all had weird experiences there but when they leave that's when the craziness starts 🐈‍⬛

We have two little libraries on our 6th-12th grade campus. It was a senior project many years ago but still going strong. Seeing their colorful patterns and well-tousled books makes me smile. They are used and loved. My #BeautyBreak for today 😊

Nominated for the 2026 Washington State Children's Choice Award, Built to Last is a simple story with intense illustrations about perseverance, patience, and friendship.

mandarchy I just did a little Googling. The gold fish on the left is significant in vietnamese culture, and among other things, it represents perseverance. The fish kite on the right is Japanese and represents the hopes and dreams parents have for their children's success. 3mo

Popped over to beautiful Bruny Island for a couple of nights. Surprised to see so many tourists in the middle of winter.
They have 6 little libraries on the island, made by the Men's Shed. I've visited 5 and will swing by no.6 on the way to the ferry.

Cupcake12 This is lovely, we don‘t have many of these in the UK. 4mo

hannah-leeloo We have any? @Cupcake12 😱 4mo

Cabin: Off the Grid Adventures with a Clueless Craftsman | Patrick Hutchison

pick

A 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/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/? The market for memoirs in the range of 'person dissatisfied with work/life discovered new path/hobby' is inexhaustible, but that doesn't devalue a particularly well-done version, especially when the cynicism/exhaustion is cranked way down and the joy of new discovery is cranked up. It never felt too hokey, but it does feel wholesome, even if not every choice made would pass a safety check. 7mo

Robotswithpersonality 3/? I did notice a couple repeats in work recounted that make me think certain chapters may have had their first iterations as separate articles, but overall the chronology is engaging. Even if you're not sure where a chapter is going at the start, you end up seeing the linkages by the end.

Robotswithpersonality 4/4 While I'm happy Hutchinson has found fulfillment in his carpentry business, I am also glad he is still billed as a writer, and this as his first book, so hopefully I can look forward to more. 7mo
