How to Talk to Anyone: 92 Little Tricks for Big Success in Relationships | Leil Lowndes

so-so

This audiobook was okay and had some good pointers for handling business situations and ways to shine. I can find some value in the tips within, but glad the audio was the older version of “62 tricks” instead of the newer “92”. As I‘ve seen in some other reviews, I would agree it is outdated/old fashioned.

Cosmos_Moon_River What irritated me about the book was how the author read constantly with an extreme level of enthusiasm and almost every sentence in was an alliterative mnemonic phrase, like “parties are for pratter”, “dinners are for dining” and “Charlie, chance encounters are for chitchat”. They seem forced and a bit juvenile. Some parts also sounded quite out of touch, like calling a social “screw up” a “boner”. (edited) 1w

How to Keep House While Drowning: 31 Days of Compassionate Help | Kc Davis

so-so

This is a great book if you are having trouble with your day-to-day house chores, or if you are depressed and feel like every small task is a mountain. I'm not at that stage right now. So it wasn't what I was looking for. My stuff is tucked into cupboards and closets, under beds and inside storage containers. My house is clean. It is NOT organized. I want to purge the house of everything unnecessary. This book made me feel like I'm doing great.🙈

lil1inblue This is a good one to keep on hand in case you need it. I went through some health issues for several years, and this was a life saver.
And you ARE doing great! 😉 1w

ItsAnotherJen @lil1inblue 🥰 Thank you!! I do think think this book has great merit. I will keep it in mind as something to recommend to those who might need it. I think I need to look more into the philosophy behind death cleaning. There is so much to be gained from letting go of excess belongings. I haven't had to move in 20 years, so I've accumulated too much. 1w

Scochrane26 Therapists in my agency recommend this one a lot to clients. It‘s not for everyone but good for certain people. 1w

Schnoebs I felt the same way, I did end up following this up with the tagged book. It made me rethink why I‘m holding on to certain things. I‘m honestly thinking about rereading it at some point to make me reevaluate things again.

Kitta Ive been on the waiting list for this one from Libby for a long time. Why is it so popular right now? 1w

Reggie Omg, dishes, I leave them for a week and as soon as I do them, they‘re back. I absolutely hate them. lol maybe this book will help me out. Stacked. 1w

ItsAnotherJen @Schnoebs I'm reading that one right now!! It's exactly what I needed too. 1w

ItsAnotherJen @Kitta It's the time of year-New Years resolutions are a big deal right now. Organization and getting rid of stuff is one of mine and I think a lot of people are in the same boat. 1w

Sparklemn The author had an opinion piece in The NY Times last week if anyone is interested in reading it. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/01/opinion/celebrating-messiness.html?unlocked_a... 1w

Kitta @ItsAnotherJen ahhh okay yeah that makes sense then, I forgot somehow? 😅 My library has 85 people waiting. I think I could use it so I‘ll read it. (edited) 1w

Kitta @Sparklemn thank you! 1w

ItsAnotherJen @Sparklemn Thank you for the article rec! I can't embrace my messiness right now though, I need to embrace throwing away or donating things. 😬 I think it would be so liberating to own less🎉🎉 1w

Help Me!: 12 Wege zur Erleuchtung | Marianne Power

I don‘t think I‘ve posted a pic of my adorable Griffin in awhile.
By June, I need to read a book that has a character with one of my names. Didn‘t have luck finding anything when I googled. Don‘t think my names are commonly used in books. So, I need you all to help!
A book that has a character named 1)Shannon, 2) Cochrane, or 3) Johnson
