Got this one at Vinnies in Dubbo and perused it on the way home on the bus before leaving it in the park during the rest stop for someone else to enjoy. I have vintage cases I could store books under my bed in like this picture. This was the only idea I got from this book but it was still enjoyable to flick though. I wouldn‘t pay full price for it though.

From @EadieB and @TheSpineView #two4tuesday

1 - I don't decorate my house with books, with two readers in the house we don't have enough space to get clever with displays or shelving. BUT we do decorate with books at our shop. I'm currently working on some paper folding beauties to create a focal point in our new shop but these are taking AGES.

2 - what distracts me from reading? Probably my sister, husband, and TikTok; in that order. Lol

TheSpineView Thanks for playing 2y
EadieB @everlocalwest Thanks for playing! I love those folded paper books! 2y

I went to a lecture by Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen many years ago, where he said something along the lines of “there is no such thing as #GoodTaste or bad taste, just our own opinions”.

The library is open again! These were my first pickup since the pandemic started. Next time I kind of want to try the curbside pickup — having library books delivered to my car sounds amusing.

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Hey!! Just checking to see if you‘re still interested in #LitsyLove? My emails are bouncing back... 4y
Sunraven @alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Hey! Sorry for my silence — your emails to my address are bouncing? That‘s odd! I‘m getting lots of mails from the Litsy Love group, including from you. I‘ll drop you an email with some more details, and to make sure my address is working properly. 4y

Does this book display bother anyone else? I know it is a stylistic choice, but I. Just. Can‘t. 😫

Mitch I could never! 4y
rockpools On so many levels 😱. It looks like you‘re trying to hide your books so noone can see them. But in the fireplace?!? 4y
LazyOwl So many issues with this. I would need to see spines for a start 4y

i.z.booknook I don‘t want to sound dramatic but that is abysmal... 😂 4y
julesG So much wrong with this. That's not decorating with books. That says, I couldn't be bothered to get a proper shelf and sort the books into it; they make for a cozy room on a chilly night, too. 4y
Suet624 That‘s ridiculous! 4y
AmyG It‘s messy and hideous. 4y
abookishbutterfly I posted a similar picture on my Facebook once and said I didn‘t want to be friends with that person! 😂 I don‘t get it. It does not look attractive to me at all. 4y
Susanita Not attractive or practical 4y
Gaylagal2 @CindyMyLifeIsLit That is the worse thing I've ever seen! By the look on his/her face, the dog even knows it's wrong. 🙄 Poor, poor books ☹️ 4y
CindyMyLifeIsLit @Mitch @RachelO @LazyOwl @TheAliceEvers @julesG @Suet624 @AmyG @Butterflyamore @Susanita @Gaylagal2 I know, right? Not only can you not see the books, but you also can‘t get to them easily. On top of which, NO book lover likes to see books in a fire setting!! 😱 All that‘s missing is a match! 📚🔥 I guess I‘ve found my trigger! 😁 4y
Gaylagal2 @CindyMyLifeIsLit Exactly!! The bitch can sing no doubt about it, but she is a book abuser...😟🤬Just kidding but she needs to check herself 🤓 4y
CindyMyLifeIsLit @Gaylagal2 😂 She does have some serious pipes, but someone get the girl a bookcase! 4y

2.5/5⭐ This book is for people who have never thought about a metaphor. I guess there are such people out there, so I can't really fault the book for its scope. But for anyone who's read/watched/encountered any fictional story ever, it's mostly useless to have a book whose goal is to tell the reader “bathing can cleanse not just the body but also THE MIND“ or “knives cut physical things but can also cut through BULLSHIT.“ Oooh, *wavy hands* (cont)

hissingpotatoes The book takes so long to say the simplest thing, or nothing at all. It has little to no practical advice, though if you consider it a collection of archetypes/correspondences, it works better. Points to the author for equally incorporating worldwide mythology/folktales and not just Christian ones like I feared. The mandala exercise at the very end of the book was an interesting way for readers to actually think about their own lives. 4y

1.5/5⭐ When a book is limited to discussing only a handful of colors, most of them pales/pastels, everything starts to get samesy after only a couple pages. This book has two things to say: 1) painting wall trim the same color throughout the house unifies the rooms, and 2) yellow is a brightening color. And it says it over, and over, and over again.
