My Sister Said I Could Do Better
Scot Loveland (2026)
Scot Loveland isn’t like the other kids.
His drive to see what’s around the next corner has led to a life that is…outside the box. In his first book, “My Sister Says I Can Do Better: Stories of Adventure and Lessons Learned from a Life Well-Lived”, Scot shares his unique views from the road less traveled. Never afraid to suck at something new, it’s almost easier to list the things he hasn’t experienced than those that he has. Luckily, he thought it was a good idea to document some of those adventures for the enlightenment of future generations. Whether it’s a story from the last stop in the educational superhighway before you hit the prison system; his thoughts on the ultimate adventure that is parenthood; or a detailed description of his only attempt at a 100 mile trail race, his essays are humorous, inspiring, damn entertaining and often fall squarely into the category of “Misadventure makes for the best stories”.

Well. The Author was wrong. Its "NOT" the type of book that you can pick up, put down and pick up again. I literally read it in one sitting. Thank YOU! I loved the variety. How relatable each chapter is. The story telling. WOW! The chapter on the author's Dad resonated. Beautiful. And the picture of him him hugging Scot? Of course the Dad wore a belt and suspenders! Looking forward to the next book!

This book is inspiring. It makes me want to be a better person. This is an easy read of short stories that takes you through the authors adventures throughout his life. I’ve always heard people say they read a book in one sitting and I’ve never done that; until now. I highly recommend this book.

I loved this interesting, entertaining and ultimately, joyful book. Abandoning the boring constraints of chronological order, Scot serves up a wild series of vignettes that you can open completely at random. One minute it’s a hilarious recounting of a recent adventure or you’re receiving a deep life lesson, the next it's a great story about his wife or daughter, or his borderline obsessive relationship with competition. You will frequently close a chapter, and ask, “Why?!” Fortunately, Scot's official life motto is “Why not?” It’s unstructured, completely unpredictable, and absolute fun.

Buckle up.
The author does a great job of taking the reader through various, comical, painful, and scary moments of his life. I really enjoyed learning about the various characters he has rubbed shoulders with throughout his tenure on this planet.
There were a few stories that didn't keep my eyes locked to the pages, but that's the beauty of this book; you can start and stop wherever and whenever you'd like. Sure, you can start any book on chapter 23, but that's normally a stupid thing to do. This book allows you to do just that. Some chapters are only 1 or 2 pages, and none of it goes in chronological order. This is the perfect book to bring to your next campfire to share a few stories among friends. It's PERFECT for those who only have a few minutes throughout the day to read. I would definitely recommend it.
