I Sleep Around: The Humorous Memoir of a Nomadic Writer

Omg this books made me so happy! I couldn't wait for the work day to end every day to cozy up, grab my tablet, and read it :)

This is the story of a 66 years old retired paralegal and writer who decides to RV full time. And wow, she loves this new lifestyle and it shines in each page :) Just writing this review makes me smile, thinking about how content she is with her life (of course, it's not all shine and candy, and she spends a great amount of time talking about all the ‘cons' and difficulties of RVing). She keeps it honest!

So, why do I like this book so much?
- The first part of the book is about living in RV full time, and it is SO detailed and real, I was amazed. She goes over so many topics, like weather, cost, grey and black waste (dirty water and bathroom waste), being a solo woman nomad, writing while RVing, repairs... It's fascinating (by this point, you probably realized that the idea of being a digital nomad/slow traveler has popped up more than once in my head :))
- The second part is about the actual travels she took during her first year. At first, I found it quite mundane and repetitive (I went to this city, visited this museum, met my friends x and y, then moved to campground z...). But then, I realized this is RVing full time. No shine and glamour, just the simple truth. And I started enjoying this part more and more. And there are quite a few places I want to visit myself, especially the salt mine!!
- The third part is about her second year RVing in 2020... during COVID. She kept safe, used masks, social distancing, vaccines, and found ways to isolate herself and keeping safe. Very interesting new perspective on having to stay for longer periods of time in the same place, and what it felt like (the travel bug was itching her!). OMG and I forgot to talk about the dog and home-sitting she did in the previous year! Sooooo interesting!
- The final part is more about the perception of others on her lifestyle, from people lending a helpful hand to people forcefully handing her religious pamphlets to ‘save her soul'. Nothing creepy was described, and she has a good instinct to avoid weird places.

So with everything said, how could I not give it a 5 stars? I loved it! Thank you Sue Ann for writing it :)
