Affluenza: The All-Consuming Epidemic | John de Graaf, David Wann, Thomas H. Naylor

Still ignoring all my part read novels for non fiction on #kindle.

Christmas shopping season seems to have triggered my anti consumerist mindset lol.

This is the 3rd edition from 2014. Still has plenty of relevance but will be behind the ever increasing curve, given the horrors of Tik Tok shop, Stanley Cup frenzy etc

Luke-XVX No book updates in awhile, hope you‘re doing ok! 1w

Balibee146 Hey @Luke-XVX thanks for your ask - that's so thoughtful of you. I got a new android phone and not having the app is a barrier to coming on here for me. Still reading - though a lot of non fiction always at this time of year. Hope you are well and all is good! 4d

Luke-XVX Ahh that‘s a tad frustrating! Coming down with something but I‘m generally ok. Desperate to stick to my new book ban for the year! 3d

In Praise of Slowness | Carl Honore

It was delete day at the library where I work. I ran into a staff member from another department of the college when I was taking the weeded items to the free table, and she was definitely looking forward to taking a look through them! I waited until others had their chance and then grabbed a couple for myself when I was on my way home #BookHaul

Simple Matters: Living with Less and Ending Up with More | Erin Boyle

so-so

My March #Bookspin wasn't spectacular. It didn't have much new information, but I'm happy that it wasn't a DNF, and it did remind me of why I continue to declutter and simplify my home and life. #COYER

Simplicity: The Freedom of Letting Go | Richard Rohr

pick

I read “In the Footsteps of St. Paul” by this author in anticipation of an upcoming trip to Greece, including Ephesus (pictured). I loved the message and hearing more about Paul and his travels, though I will say if you‘re hoping for something that describes some of the areas you‘ll be visiting, this isn‘t the book.
