Welcome to Litsy!

This was a random pick at the library and I‘m so glad I stumbled across it. It was a lovely uplifting read about people/communities/Kate herself trying to live more sustainably, consciously and consume less. Love the idea of repair cafés. It made me want to do something with these raised beds previous owners put in the garden (even though I have no clue when it comes to planting anything ?)
#nonfiction2023 - imagine

This was just the listen I needed at the start of a fresh new year. Very much made appreciate the small and simple things

As we grow older, priorities change and we aspire to simply live a happy life. So many people want the latest gadgets, the best clothes thinking it will bring happiness. This book explores why our consumer led society is brimming with depression, social isolation and anxiety even among the very young.
Kate Humble recollects personal memories and her own difficulties. A book to make you think about how we value things differently now.

My local librarian recommended this. I don‘t normally read non-fiction but I thought I‘d give it a go.

I adored this book - so much of it resonated with me. A friend lent it to me but I think I need to buy my own copy for a re-read(and I never re-read books!).

It‘s not about giving everything up, just doing what makes you happy, which I needed to read about right now. I was very pleased with myself when she recommended planting sweet pea seeds in empty toilet rolls - I did that last year and they were great!

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join the fun if you want.
This is day 166
