Spark Joy: An Illustrated Master Class on the Art of Organizing and Tidying Up by Marie Kondo

4.0

Very similar to her original book, but with some more illustrations and anecdotes.

It was helpful to have more visuals for what she had spoken about previously, and also highly entertaining to read more of her slightly crazy views and actions.

"Using my headphones as speakers was also a great solution for my simple lifestyle. I raised the volume loud enough to hear without wearing them."

"After discarding a hammer because the handle was worn out, I used my FRYING PAN to pound in any nails." Emphasis mine. I mean... WUT.

I do find her concept of "spark joy" to be extremely simple and easy to follow, but I've only gone through clothes, books, and bathroom supplies. I feel that going through my craft room and sentimental items will be much more difficult and daunting (although ultimately, more mentally satisfying). I plan on starting a burn box for the fall for all my journals and letters.
