Minimalist Booklist

Do you ever find yourself aimlessly staring at your bookshelf/ bookcase wondering what was the last book you’ve read. Books, like every other item you own can get overwhelming and cluttered. Pages upon pages of unread books just sitting there. So, what do you do with them? Well, of course you can let them sit there in the dust or you can take them to your local thrift store. There, they can become someone’s rare find and new favorite book. Don’t be discouraged about the condition either. You can easily upcycle and reuse the book pages in new, exciting, and creative ways. Let’s start with something simple like wrapping paper or even gift stuffing. For those who are feeling a little more nostalgic, feel free to relive your childhood and make a paper mache masterpiece! Become a more responsible and sustainable book collector by buying from your local bookshop or thrift store. If you need an online option try the ThriftBooks website/ app available for download on all devices.

If you want to upkeep your bookshelf and cozy up into your reading nook this fall/winter here is a flexible and fun book recommendation list for the minimalist bookworm:
