I submitted my latest memoir, Building The Beast: How (Not) To Build An Overland Camper to Reedsy Discovery, a platform for discovering, reviewing, and discussing books.
I suppose a memoir about building your own overland truck camper is quite a niche read, so it took a while for a reviewer to pick it up, but it finally returned a STONKING 4* review packed with enthusiasm and quotable quotes.
I feel very validated and it has encouraged me to pick up on finishing the sequel, More Manchester Than Mongolia, which the reviewer is anxious to read!
