Now I totally love my Kindle - I read really fast so being able to take 100 books with me on holiday without having to worry about the weight is awesome. I also had a cookbook clear out last year - I still have plenty but was quite ruthless about ones I hadn't used for a while.

I didn't think about which ones 'sparked joy', I just got rid of all of them. I finally realised, after a decade of hoarding some of them, that even the most enjoyed ones were probably never going to be read again. I just haven't got the patience to re-read anything. I kept about 6 cookbooks which I use regularly and everything else was donated. It felt really good to be free of them actually! Your shelves look wonderfully well-organised, it must be very satisfying to see everything curated and nicely displayed.Robynhttp://www.yearsareshort.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3700100783233868742.post-8433586936288577372016-01-26T07:34:23.883+13:002016-01-26T07:34:23.883+13:00This comment has been removed by the author.Charlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00352693509954112273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3700100783233868742.post-25167516854791621552016-01-26T07:34:18.964+13:002016-01-26T07:34:18.964+13:00Well she says if it 'sparks joy', keep it!...Well she says if it 'sparks joy', keep it!

I'm quite good at "tidying up" the bookshelves but there are some professional reference books I have to keep should duty call. The problem is I'm a cookbookaholic, I have so many and they all bring me joy, even though I hardly look at them. What would Ms Kondo say to that, I wonder?!Sammie @ The Annoyed Thyroidhttp://www.theannoyedthyroid.comnoreply@blogger.com
