I pulled book after book from a giant Saver’s bag and stacked them in three cardboard boxes out the front of my house. I’m decluttering, so I’ve been sharing the books I don’t need any more with the neighbourhood. It’s always interesting to see what people take (craft and kids’ books and blockbuster novels and niche psych-related books) and what they don’t … Helen Garner and Joan Didion!
Maybe Helen and Joan are so popular that everyone has already them?
It's the little things, the attention to the tiny, inconsequential details that make life worth living. Oh those big things they can be great too, but for me it's always the tiny, daily, oft over looked that bring my joy.
And that house, gosh I'd live in it, looks better than my place and I love the idea of looking out to the tree tops and all those windows, gosh I love big windows.
This is so beautiful Pip. I love your observational writing. And how can people not take Helen Garner and Joan Didion?! They're the ones I'd snap up first!
