Welcome to Litsy!

Looking for audiobook recommendations! I‘ve been enjoying nonfiction books lately, including the tagged book, Sorry I‘m Late, I Didn‘t Want to Come, and God Bless This Mess. I want to find more home improvement, health/wellness, and funny or relatable memoirs/self-help books. Bonus if it‘s read by a great narrator or the author! #audiobook #audiobooks #audio #carreads

For a long time, I've been stress over tons of useless things in my house and life. After reading this book I've changed my consumption to a minimum and guess what - life is beautiful now.
Less equals more.
I've donated almost all unneeded things to those who needed them more, changes my consumer behavior and transferred my energy to professional development, family, and meaningful connections. ❤️

Yet another haul from the shopping centre book swap. Lots of books for my step daughters in this one. Someone donates old ARCs and I love them for it. I use any excuse to visit this place nowadays. The gorgeous scarf underneath was left behind by someone on the tram and I couldn‘t leave it unloved especially when it was rolled so beautifully.

New year, new goals! 🥳

I loved this. I've cleaned out 3 rooms of my house already. It's fantastic. I'm sold on minimalism. 😊 (not books though. Not giving up those. 😬🤭🤓)
This was my choice for M in #LitsyAtoZ2019

This is a great book on minimizing. A lot of great points, I‘m listening to the audio book in the car and then going home and trying do organize and minimize. It‘s working but I‘m very slow at it.

I am going to try to do the #allthebooksof2017 challenge, too. This was my #firstreadoftheyear. It was pretty meh. Mostly common sense, and very, very heavy-handed Christianity references, which is so not for me. It wasn‘t terrible, but I didn‘t learn much.

Interesting ideas!

I‘m pretty sure this makes me a bad person, but I didn‘t care for his minimalism origin story. He had too much crap in his garage, his neighbor said he didn‘t have to, epiphany, now he‘s writing a book. I love rock bottom origin stories. The ones that have to sell everything because of a series of unfortunate events. Or how a young person decided not to follow their peers OR PARENTS down the path of debt and self-destruction. That life is EARNED.

#currentlyreading and taking notes on ⬆

I loved this book and I made my husband read it. His Christian beliefs align with my own, but I think anyone with a "stuff" problem would get something out of this book.

I took 2 books off my "currently reading" shelf on Goodreads because I started them two or more years ago and will need to start over. So it's these 4 I'm ending the year on. The more of less, indeed; I'm struggling to complete my first Austen novel.

Halfway in and I'm thinking this is pretty common sense advice. Still, hoping it gets me in a decluttering headspace.

Forgot when I downloaded the audiobook the other day that it was one of my #LitsyAtoZ picks. I'll choose another M book soon!

Downloading this audiobook on minimalism while QVC plays in the background. Conflict! 😂

"The American Dream has been defined in dollar signs and square footage."

"Our excessive possessions are not making us happy. Even worse, they are taking us away from the things that do. Once we let go of the things that don't matter, we are free to pursue all the things that really do matter."

Bath bomb + book = 2 of my favorite things!

When your book gives you "homework" ? thinking hard about these questions today...

One of my favorite quotes 👆🏼 followed by some pretty crazy statistics 😮

Made it 10 pages in before I had to put it down so I could go clean out my closet and get rid of stuff 😂

Well this is ok if the thought of decluttering is new to you but ... It's common sense. Not really worth the purchase
