What I’m Currently Reading…

I know I said I was going to be reading the second installment of the Splintered Series by A.G. Howard, but I just wasn’t feeling a fantasy novel. It seems like Spring may be finally coming to New England (*knocks on wood*) so I’m getting the Spring cleaning itch.

I already had plans to go through all our “stuff,” but then I heard about the book The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing” by Marie Kondo and decided to read that book and perhaps follow her method. So, that’s what I’m currently reading.

From what I have gathered, Kondo’s method of decluttering, called the KonMari Method, is different from other methods because she advocates decluttering in one fell swoop—not room by room or a little each day. She suggests putting all you have of one item (e.g., clothes) out where you can see it (so you see how much you actually have) and then going through and discarding items you don’t want. After discarding, you organize what you have left.

My husband and I do a pretty good job of purging what we don’t need/want (Goodwill got a hefty donation the last time we moved), so I’m curious to see how much we discard after I read this book and try the KonMari Method. I’ll let you know what I think of the book!

What book are you currently reading? Let me know!
