No, weird Japanese lady, I won't throw away my toilet brush, camping gear, or the leftover potting soil, even though they don't “spark joy”. Also unlikely to thank my inanimate objects for their service. But the tips may apply to my CLOSET, so that's good I guess...!

Believe it or not, I have little or no experience with this author. But this was a fun little romp!

Fluffy “junk food reading”. Always good, intricate stories with plenty of great characters.

The plot thickens even as she reveals secrets, love this!

This was EXCELLENT! Smart, interesting, engaging, and FUNNY funny funny! Highly recommend!

Lovecraftian horror, lovely and strange.

Cute, fluffy, thoroughly enjoyable urban fantasy. :)

I really liked this! Shorter and lighter, fun, with a happy ending!

Fluffy vacation read, surprisingly engaging. :)

Didn't actually realize this was YA when I started it, but coming to the end it's obvious.
Still enjoyed it a lot. :)

I got 10% in before she started talking about “source energy” and “vibrations”. no, thanks, I prefer the real world.

Always good to visit Georgiana. :)

Took me forever to finish because I just knew something bad was going to happen to the main character...but in the end, I loved it and will go to the sequel after an appropriate break.;)

Very interesting, but not actually a book on meditation, mostly a memoir. An INTERESTING Memoir, just not quite what I had in mind.

Yup, definitely sad all-around. Very different from the movies that portray it mostly as horror and anger, the book's vibe is much more sorry, rejection, and regret from all parties. Now, to find something cheerier.

It was weird and silly and fluffy, and yet more weird, and really kind of just very Felicia Day all over the place.

Still haven't figured out why I like these books. Little or no regular plot, just a litany of day-to-day maneuvers, unrealistic characters and situations (seriously? on the water for months and months, and no STORMS?). But I do like them.

Cute and well-done, but a bit fluffy for my interests.

One star down for the totally abrupt ending.

June 20, 2015

oh wow. again with the odd pacing, with a smaller-scale subplot resolved early before moving on to the BIG PLOT. But what an amazing BIG PLOT! If you didn't have tears in your eyes at some point in the last 100 pages, I'd question your humanity. Excellent!

I'm really enjoying this series, she seems like a regular person just doing her best, and that's appealing on so many levels.

Huh. Feels like there wasn't much STORY to this book, just a huge long tale of military logistics. It was INTERESTING logistics, but...I'd expected a bit more story.
Quest for classic scifi!

Romance part was a little cliche, but at least the paranormal/fantasy part was fun, I did like the ending quite a bit.
