Day 1 of #LitsyWalkers! It was a decent walk for my first day. COLD! But I was bundled up (as you can see in the pic, lol).

Is it just me? This book makes me angry. Maybe that gave me a little extra energy, haha. I don‘t know, I feel like Marie Kondo is judging me and being awfully hard on me. 😝

Thank you @Kaye for organizing this wonderful initiative, and thank you @DarcysMom for inspiring it! ❤️

TiredLibrarian Did you get to the part about books? Because if you're pissed off now and haven't read that part yet, just wait... 🤯😉 5y
PagesByTheWater I love what she has to say, but I do feel her method is best suited for those who live in small spaces like apartments or people who live in the city. That being said, I feel like some people can find ways to incorporate her method in small parts so they can reap the benefits. I plan on using her method to clear out our clothes and make final decisions on books I‘ve been on the fence with keeping for years now. (edited) 5y
Cinfhen Yay you!!! 5y

julesG 👏👏👏 Good job! Don't worry about Marie Kondo, she seems to rile up a lot of people. I have changed over to her method of folding the laundry (most of it), but since my unread and read books spark joy and I don't live in a humid area, I'm going to keep them. 5y
Kaye Great job @BookBabe I‘m so proud of you ! I haven‘t read that book and won‘t, because everyone that I‘ve heard that‘s read it, all feels the same as you. I don‘t need anyone telling me how to tidy up. I‘ve been a housewife for 41 years. I could teach HER how to tidy up. 5y
Bklover Good for you @BookBabe 👏👏👏. I‘m feeling inspired to make my walk a bit longer today! @kaye your comment cracked me up- I‘m with you! 5y
hermyknee Haha, I couldn‘t read the actual books because I kept getting annoyed, but my amazing #booktoteswap match, @idrinkandiknowthings sent me 5y
hermyknee There was a lot of humor in it and I read it really fast 5y
Flaneurette To me the takeaway of her method is getting rid of stuff without guilt, whether it was a gift or you spent a lot of money on the item, it is ok to get it out of your life. If you watch the show the after homes still have a lot of stuff, they aren‘t minimalist by any definition. For some reason many people need an authority figure to tell them this! 5y
SamanthaMarie I did my clothes with her method and really like how they look folded the way she does! And I got rid of things that my husband likes or were gifts from friends but that *I* did not like. I also used her method for books, but kept almost all of them except a small handful 😂 I haven't done anything else. Meh. I like what @Flaneurette took away from it!! I think that is true. 5y
idrinkandiknowthings @hermyknee I'm so glad you enjoyed the manga version at least! 😊 5y
DarcysMom Looks like a pretty walk - even of it was cold and a little angry. 😁 Based on what others have said, I don't think I would enjoy her book. I *really* love my stuff. 5y
alisiakae I love her folding method! But the book chapter, yeah, no... 😂😂😂 5y
kgriffith NOT just you 😏 5y
CarolynM I'm with you. Who wants to live in a display home? 5y

BookBabe Thanks everyone! I‘m feeling better knowing it‘s not just me! 😛 And yes, her book chapter REALLY got me! 😡Ironically, if I were to take her advice, I‘d be throwing out her own book because for me it most definitely does NOT spark joy. 😂 @TiredLibrarian @julesG @hermyknee @kaye (and yes, your comment made me laugh!) @kgriffith @CarolynM 5y
Kaye @Flaneurette @SamanthaMarie If it tells me to get rid of stuff I don‘t like or need, I already do that. I don‘t like clutter or unnecessary stuff that I never use. I‘m the opposite of a pack rat. If I didn‘t use it this week, I throw it out. I bet I have to buy a new turkey baster every blasted year because I only use it on the holidays. 5y

Polly, my dad‘s cat, was my reading buddy for The Secret History. (Photo from yesterday).

This was the first of Donna Tartt‘s books I read and this one will stay with me for a while, feeling a little gutted honestly.

CoffeeCatsBooks Thanks @callielafleur this was one of my #BookToteSwap gifts from you! 😊 5y
callielafleur I'm glad you liked it! It's one of my favorites. Her writing is unbelievable. 🤗 5y

This was great! It felt good returning to the Discworld universe. I laughed out loud so many times! Granny Weatherwax is now one of my favorite characters from anything that I've ever read. Thanks @Avanders for sending this in the #booktoteswap ! I will now have to buy the rest of the series in the beautiful illustrated hardcover versions from Discworld Emporium. #24in48 @24in48

ju.ca.no This edition is really pretty 😍 6y
TricksyTails *grabby hands grabby hands* I want all of these editions!! 😍😍😍 6y

@cobwebmoth You. Are. Awesome! I had to look at that tote twice before I realized what it was! Kinda squealed a bit, lol. The books are amazing (ACOMAF!!!! 🤗🤗). We don't have BOTM here and I love seeing everyone's books when they get them so I'm thrilled to have a few selections. Plus an addition to my ever growing Gillian Flynn books! The tape and pen are going right to use for my #bujo! The kids already stole the candy, lol. Ugh need more room

FantasyChick Also had to say that the candle smells amazing!!! You really went all out and I feel spoiled rotten! Thank you a million for the package and for setting up this swap in general! You're awesome!!!! #booktoteswap #morebuffyforme 🤗😊🤗❤ 6y
cobwebmoth I'm glad you like it. 😊 6y

Had to start opening my #bookmail as soon as I got home. I've been looking forward to it all day!!! @cobwebmoth was kind enough to send me a replacement #booktoteswap package since mine never came (although she didn't have to...I appreciate it!!). First glance...I feel like we, in Canada, are getting ripped off if your shopping bags from book stores look like this!! Lol Step it up Chapters!!!

britt_brooke So nice of you @cobwebmoth !! 6y
Bklover That was so kind of you @cobwebmoth ! 6y

This was given to me by @TK421 in the #booktoteswap and wow did I enjoy this! There were many times I literally laughed out loud. Fred is hilarious and very relatable. I have already added the next book in this series to my TBR and I cannot wait to read more about Fred‘s adventures!

TK421 I'm glad you liked it! 😁 6y
Crash I found it funny. What I like about this series is that it's not your typical vampire series. 6y
DiruVamp @crash it‘s really not! I‘ve read many a vampire series and this is totally different. It was “real” - I think if I were a vampire I‘d be a lot like Fred 😂🧛🏻‍♀️ 6y
squirrelbrain As an accountant (though not a vampire!) I totally had to stack this one! 6y
DiruVamp @squirrelbrain I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. 6y
