the reading room

Here in the reading room you will find a whole bunch of books (most of which I have read myself, others that are on my wish list) that represent the frugal and thriving lifestyle or that can help you along the journey to becoming frugal and thriving.

P.S. I’m still updating and adding to this page. The active links are in green.

Some notes

The vast majority of the books listed on this website are ones that I’ve borrowed from the library and I recommend looking to your local library for reading any of the books listed under the categories below rather than purchasing.

Why?

Borrowing books reduces clutter, saves you money, reduces waste and you can discover whether a book really resonates with your situation or if is going to be useful for you.

If you do decide to buy a book online, I’ve some provided direct links to online bookstore pages. The Nile is an Australian online bookstore. They have really become competitive with their pricing since I first discovered them two years ago (they now offer free shipping for instance). The Book Depository is a UK based online bookstore that also has very competitive pricing and free delivery and then there’s the old standby Amazon.com.

If you’re buying a book for yourself (or as a gift) from one of the online bookstores above (even a book that isn’t listed), I encourage you to click through using the links above. That’s one easy way to support the Frugal and Thriving website as I get a small commission from the sale (and it doesn’t cost you anything at all :) ).

Finally, if you have a book recommendation, why not let me know using the form below and I can add it to the list!
