Saturday – A Time to Consider the Important Things in Life

By Cleopatralovesbooks @cleo_bannister


If you’ve been under a stone this week you may well not have heard that Brexit has caused a bit of stir, Prince Philip took his Range Rover for a roll but the important news is that one woman has been in the news for advising everyone that 30 books are enough!

Who is this woman?

Marie Kondo is the brave woman who has bought decluttering to the world through the Netflix series called Tidying Up with Marie Kondo released in January 2019.

And how is she faring after she has unleashed the fury of booklovers all over the world?

It is, according to some reports a misinterpretation, she doesn’t want to rid the world of books.

After all why else do bookshelves exist?

This swirl design would look pretty stupid if it wasn’t full of books and at a rough estimate it is holding more than 30!

What would the owners of this fancy kitchen bookshelf do if there was no scintillating choice of books? They might have forced to cook!

This delightful offering combining the books with the wood that they originate from is particularly appealing…

Or the metal variation on the theme for a more modern look.

This fabulous flower bookshelf would brighten up anyone’s day but wouldn’t look the same without plenty of books Marie Kondo!

But my favorite bookshelf of all is this delightful chair, just think you don’t even need to move to find a good book to read!

Sadly my own selection of bookshelf is slightly more mundane, however I can confirm it is full of books that I couldn’t bear to part with… tune in soon for more musing on the 30 book issue that is sweeping the globe!
