Recently, I asked for book recommendations. I was/am seeking something on the lighter, funnier side. Approximately a bazillion books came in for me (with lots of side-eye and ribbing from my coworkers). I whittled the stack down to those where the first few pages snagged my attention. This is what I ended up with.

Thanks to those who chimed in!
Fingers crossed. 🤞🏻

I listened to the audiobook and loved it because Pamela read it. I‘ve always been a fan of her, always, so maybe I‘m biased. I also just saw her in The Last Showgirl and that was fantastic. She‘s an incredible woman and I feel so lucky that she shared her memoir with us.

I am a huge Ru Paul fan and was excited to read this and it did not disappoint! It was neat to get a glance behind the curtain and learn more about his early life and what makes him, him! If you are a Ru Paul fan, I would definitely recommend!

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. 5d
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.
5d
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. 5d
