Books That Will Help You Tidy Up

But just 5 because we don’t want your life to be cluttered

by Andrea Klinker

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

At first, we were skeptical about Marie Kondō’s philosophy of decluttering because of this scary sentence from her Netflix show, Tidying Up:

Ideally, you should have less than 30 books.

We were in deep, deep, book-loving denial about this concept until we realized that she was trying to be helpful to individuals who struggle immensely with clutter in their lives. Moreover, she gives people the option to keep as many as they want. It was just a suggestion, folks!

Don’t worry, we are keeping our 18+ miles, but if you want to get rid of a few books, we can buy them from you!
