I hope you can find it in your heart to answer them. Threaten all you want, Kondofans cause Yannick doesn't panic.Īlthough I have studied both of your books with uncharacteristic focus, I am left with some questions. Well, that ain't happenin' cause I'm a 68 year old woman who says whatever she wants, whenever she wants. Another particularly disgruntled reader suggested that I go hide under a rock. I turned that offer down as I think it goes against Goodreads' policies. One sweet soul even offered to replace my beige underwear with something more appealing.

Others, who are evidently as unenlightened as me, saw humor in my review.

I was even contacted by a writer from the Chicago Tribune who was doing an article on the tidying craze. Your rabid fans called me ethnocentric, hyperbolic, shallow, insensitive, unromantic, cold, narrow-minded, immature, a derisive mess, despicable, a pseudo-feminist (?), a possessor of ugly underwear, and they sent their deepest sympathy to the poor schmuck who married me. I was berated by people all over the world after my critical Goodreads review of your first book, The Magical Art of Tidying. It is with great trepidation that I write this review of your newest book. Spark Joy is Marie Kondo's in-depth tidying masterclass, focusing on the detail of how to declutter and organise your home. It has already transformed the homes and lives of millions of people around the world. Marie Kondo's first book, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying, presents her unique tidying philosophy and introduces readers to the basics of her KonMari method. When you surround yourself with things you love you will find that your whole life begins to change. Ask yourself if something 'sparks joy' and suddenly it becomes so much easier to understand if you really need it in your home and your life. The secret to Marie Kondo's unique and simple KonMari tidying method is to focus on what you want to keep, not what you want to get rid of. The illustrations also show Ms Kondo's unique folding method, clearly showing how to fold anything from shirts, trousers and jackets to skirts, socks and bras. Charming line drawings explain how to properly organise drawers, wardrobes, cupboards and cabinets. It covers every room in the house from bedrooms and kitchens to bathrooms and living rooms as well as a wide range of items in different categories, including clothes, photographs, paperwork, books, cutlery, cosmetics, shoes, bags, wallets and valuables. Spark Joy is an in-depth, line illustrated, room-by-room guide to decluttering and organising your home.
