BOOK NERD : Kickass Quotes From The Western Guide To Feng Shui by Terah Kathryn Collins
As someone who is relentlessly intrigued by the way our inner realities are reflected outside ourselves (as within, so without), I have had a decades-long fascination with Feng Shui.

My latest romance with it has lasted now all summer and was sparked by Terah Kathryn Collins' book The Western Guide To Feng Shui : Room By Room.
This, finally, is the book that makes Feng Shui simple and fun for the Western mind, and I suspect it will have more than a passing impact.
