pickWell researched and I learned a lot from the Victorian Era about the luxury side of numerous objects and the history of imported trinkets at vacation destinations- way before I ever would have ever considered possible. Many other clutter/decluttering authors I've also already read included as well.
It was a slow reading month for me, which seems to be typical for March for some reason. I hope April will be a more book month. 📚
For those that watch A&E's Hoarders, the tagged book is by Dr Zasio, one of the therapists on that show, which I found really interesting. She's my favorite therapist on Hoarders.
pickThis is not your typical Lisa Jewell book; if you‘re expecting a thriller, you won‘t find it in these pages. What it is - quite a dark and rather disturbing read about one of the most dysfunctional families ever fictionalized (is that a word?). Not sure what it says about me, but I loved it and couldn‘t put it down. #readyourkindle
pickGood short tale of hoarding and value of things with romance. Graphic novels go fast! Well drawn.
Also reading a graphic YA novel found at local library.
interesting read about a messed-up family but.........
not sure the constant polyphonia was needed, I think it was Meg's story plus a few emails from Lolerelei
a bit too keen to give everyone a complicated consequence - Rory in Thailand felt more tell than show, didn't really buy late convert hippie-dad
some great stuff in it, never-the-less - all in Maggie O'Farrell territory
bailedDarcy finds books as a way to escape the mess of her mom‘s hoarding habit. She kept people at bay until Asher walks into the bookstore she works at. He seems to have a mess of his own to figure out. Will they accept the mess in each other‘s life?
I DNFed this book half way through. It was too slow for me and there was little to no romance between the characters. I wanted at least more banter.
I'm hoping to finish the last of my NB magazine stack for August's #MonthlyMagazineBlitz @julieclair
I'm off to get a coffee before settling down with these beauties.

“Clutter, like emotional chaos, has a way of running in families, passed down like curly hair or blue eyes or musical ability.”
