❤️❤️❤️💔 Emma – Jane Austen (1901) ❤️❤️❤️💔 Emma is Jane Austen’s comedic look at 19th Century social mores. The irrepressible young Miss Emma Woodhouse is the social queen of her community, interfering in the lives of friends and neighbours, without the slightest thought that she oughtn’t. Her opinions are not based on facts or knowledge,…

The story centres on a family gathering that the dying matriarch Aunt Becky calls, to…

❤️❤️❤️ By now almost everyone is aware of Marie Kondo’s KonMari Method for tidying up their homes. You throw everything you own on the floor in the middle of a room, and touch each thing.

Covering the psychology of food, the history of processed foods, the history of the companies that make them, why we eat them, their impact on our overall health, governmental regulation and permissiveness and the obesity…

❤️❤️💔 Janzen’s memoir is a very funny story of “going home again” to her close, conservative family after her husband leaves her for another man and she is seriously injured in a car accident. The love and support she feels by reentering a community that she had long since abandoned, in effect, reminds her of…

The KonMari Method of tidying up is not really for me… (mostly because tidying up isn’t for me…) but the, shall we say KniSar?, method of Not Giving a F*ck is definitely something I can get into. #thelifechangingmagicofnotgivingafck #sarahknight #konmarimethod #parody #howtostopspendingtimeyoudonthavewithpeopleyoudontlikedoingthingsyoudontwanttodo #book #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookclubofinstagram #bookclub #books #read #reading #readinglist #tbr #coffee #thecureforanythingissaltwater #isakdinesen
