Hooked: How Crafting Saved My Life by Sutton Foster

emotional funny hopeful inspiring reflective sad fast-paced

5.0

This is one of the better memoirs I've read. I can hear Foster's voice very clearly and I identify with her crafting journey. I too tie certain projects to points in my life, maybe not as concretely as she does, but I get flashes of memory when I pick up certain projects. The writing style is simple and clear, but the chapters "Owl Blanket" and "Character Portraits" truly moved me.

I can't wait to discuss this with my yarn club.  I also used the "Buddy Read" function with @hayleyrandol and I really enjoyed it. Leaving and replying to comments as you read with a friend - it's perfect for virtual clubs, though I think there is a limit to the number of people who can join. Even without the buddy feature, I'm enjoying SG's journal feature; I think it could make me more intentional with my reading
