1. Yes! I've followed Esther on Instagram for a while.
2. Absolutely not lol. I live in a rural area and know how much work farming can be. I would not have the strength or patience to handle it.
3. Yes, though I don't think it would make them go vegan, unfortunately :( they'd think she's cute/interesting but it would stop there.
4. I love the way these books are written so even though I have nothing in common with Esther's dads, they come off as so relatable.
5. I think the writing style really contributes to my enjoyment. They have a way of writing that makes the story fun (despite hardships).
6. Honestly, I didn't expect to be so absolutely stressed reading about when they first moved in. Pipes bursting, freezing, etc. My husband and I are trying to buy our first house, and this is exactly how I expect things to go when we move in lol.
7. I love pigs, I think they're adorable, but I don't think anything could convince me more that I would not be capable of having one of my own than these books.
8. I give it 5 stars out of 5! It was so great learning more about Esther and her family.
