With temperatures cooling down (finally), indoor activity season is beginning. Reading definitely tops my favorites list of things to do inside so today I thought I'd combine that with the topic of my articles recently, Minimalism, and give you a thorough list of books to check out for the wannabe Minimalists out there. Keep in mind you can find almost all of these titles at your local library (no money lost, no cluttered space digital or otherwise). ;)
