Navigating Nonfiction
"The question of what you want to own is actually
the question of how you want to live your life." 
Marie Kondo, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up
Though Marie Kondo's massively popular decluttering guide The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up was originally published back in 2014, it recently made a reappearance on the New York Times bestseller list thanks to the buzzy Netflix series Tidying Up with Marie Kondo, which premiered last month. 
 
Are your patrons still looking for ways to spark joy in their lives? Spotlight your collection's relevant lifestyle books with titles focusing on household organization and DIY projects. And don't forget about The Life-Changing Manga of Tidying Up, a manga fiction introduction to the KonMari method. 
 
Yours in (manageable) hoarding,

Where are the search strategies? 
 
If you're wondering why I haven't offered my usual subject/appeal search strategies this go-around, it's because how-tos are outside of NoveList Plus' scope (we focus our collection efforts on narrative nonfiction). So you won't find The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up in NoveList...but did you know we spotlight lifestyle books in other ways?
  • Navigating Nonfiction covered hygge last year, and the issue was a big hit with our subscribers! We'll continue to occasionally offer lifestyle issues, and we'd love your suggestions for what topics we cover next.
  • NextReads offers a bi-monthly Home, Garden, and DIY newsletter. Check out a sample issue, and click here to learn more about NextReads.

P.S. If your library has seen an influx of Kondo-inspired donations lately, you have our sympathies!
