The Gnome Project (2015) by Jessica Peill-Meininghaus
I can’t tell you how very rare it is for me to buy a book at full price these days, and especially one I’ve never read. My usual pattern is checking out books from the library, then seeking out the ones I especially love at a used book store or on a used book site.
But, I also like to support independent bookshops when I can. So, when The Gnome Project randomly caught my eye on a recent visit to a darling bookshop, I took a chance. And I’m so glad I did. Not only am I in love with these darling little gnomes and itching to make my own, but I’m inspired by the author’s story of searching for and finding a daily practice…well, inspired and a bit jealous. Like Jessica, I’ve always struggled to commit to daily or weekly routines. I’m hoping that after reading her story (a quick and very enjoyable read), I can find my own daily practice to pursue.
