The Joy of Leaving Your Sh*t All Over The Place by Jennifer McCarthy

The New York Times Bestseller that’s “LAUGH OUT LOUD FUNNY” (Elle Décor) and “SPOT-ON…with a healthy amount of cursing” (POPSUGAR) — and honestly, it might be our favorite thing on this shelf right now.

You may have heard of a certain book about tidying up. The one that wants you to hold your belongings, feel something, and then throw them away. We’re not going to name names. But someone had to fight back — and that someone did, gloriously.

This is the joyful, profanity-seasoned antidote to the anti-clutter movement. A love letter to your piles, your collections, your “I’ll deal with that later” energy. Because science says messy people are more creative. And smarter. And more attractive. So there’s that.

Inside, you’ll learn to clutter mindfully and with great purpose. The results? Your plants will stop dying. Your whiskey bottle will never run dry. Your drugstore points will finally add up to something worth celebrating. You’ll go shopping and somehow feel lighter.

It’s the kind of book that makes you laugh out loud on a rainy afternoon — the perfect companion for browsing our shelves while the sea air does its thing outside. Equal parts sharp wit and spot-on humor, this one’s a wonderful gift for the person in your life who has never once sparked joy by throwing something away.
