Let’s chat about something that every book lover eventually faces: the great debate between physical books, e-readers, and audiobooks. As someone deep into their minimalism journey, I’ve had to really examine my relationship with my ever-growing book collection. That dream of having a cozy home library with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves? Yeah, it sounds magical until you think about the dusting, organizing, and space it requires (not to mention the moving day nightmare!).
As someone who would easily give up human contact to escape into a book, I’ll admit that I used to be a little wary of diving into epic fantasy series. The complex worldbuilding, the abundance of strange creature names and powers – it just always felt a bit…intimidating, you know? But friends, this book has completely transformed my view on the fantasy genre.
Let’s be real: in a world where we’re expected to respond to work emails before we’ve even opened both eyes, brewing coffee slowly might seem like luxury we can’t afford. But hear me out. When we pour water over fresh grounds or wait for the perfect bloom, we’re engaging in a moment that’s entirely ours. No emails. No TikTok. No “quick five-minute meeting” that somehow turns into an hour. Just you and your coffee having a moment.
