Next Time I Move, They'll Carry Me Out in a Box

by Michele Wojciechowski

If war is hell, moving is a close second.

That’s what Michele “Wojo” Wojciechowski and her husband discovered when they accidently stumbled upon their dream home, impulsively decided to sell their own house, and then got caught in the craziest move of a lifetime. Next Time I Move, They’ll Carry Me Out in a Box shares the universal misadventures associated with moving. Wojo lays everything out in such a funny and informative way that readers selling their homes can use this humor book as both a roadmap and a measuring stick to plot (and nix) moving strategies.

Wojo will have you laughing out loud as you learn:
How to get your house on the market looking “livable” but not “lived in”
How to endure get-out-of-the-house-so-it-can-be-shown weekends
How to cultivate a love for cleaning supplies like the Magic Eraser

Oh, yeah, and how to survive the actual hellish act of relocating yourself…and all of your stuff

Who knew there could be so much funny in packing up and moving? Wojo did! And she helps the reader find the funny in what is often a stressful life event. A great lighthearted read that is sure to make every reader chuckle.

A fun, quick read that will have you reconsidering whether you want to move house after all. If you do move, you'll need to keep this on hand as a reminder that any loss of sanity is only temporary.

This is a mini-novella

Yes, I know what a novella is. I say “mini” novella because this one is shorter than short. It had great potential - I wish the author wrote a full length book about her move. I could use the advice (and the laughs).

This book was a gift from my friend. Let's call her Perfect Patti. (Read the book and you will understand). Funny read and very relate able for those who've been there.
