Every year, dozens of authors present books that give new spins to popular stories, tropes, and even just age-old wisdom.

San Diego, California – WEBWIRE – Thursday, February 8, 2024
Joanne, thank you so much for writing this book! Cleaning is one thing, but getting rid of items we no longer need is a whole other thing. Thank you for all the ways that you encourage, motivate, and give practical tips to help us start our journey. Because it is definitely a journey! Ive already done one area and cant wait to start on the next! Nicole Pike
As one of the liveliest book events in California, the L.A. Times Festival of Books is always a ripe opportunity for readers to discover authors giving their own takes on popular book themes. Whether its a novel, a self-help guide, or something more practical, theres at least one author who wants to offer it in pleasantly unexpected ways.
One great example is a new book by pastor, coach, and counselor Joanne Gram Radke. Shes the author of Why Is My House Always a Mess?: How to Declutter & Organize Your Home in Just 30 Days. Its a book that takes on the age-old challenge of decluttering but is molded by her own experience of helping hundreds of families put their homes back together through decluttering.
In the book, she recommends a whole 30-day program that promises to help entire households experience less cramped spaces and shelves of stifling junk (both in the physical and spiritual sense). Her advice also gives a very evangelical twist to household reorganization. It borrows heavily from her Christian lifestyle and sensibility to encourage better daily habits for staying clutter-free.
A lot of the advice in Why Is My House Always a Mess? comes not just from her personal journey but also from helping hundreds of people for over 45 years. Fifteen of those years were specifically spent working with the Salvation Army, so she definitely knows more than a thing or two about peoples relationships with their possessions!
Visitors to the L.A. Times Festival of Books 2024 will get a chance to look through Joanne Gram Radkes book as it will be displayed at the self-publishing and book marketing company ReadersMagnets exhibit at booth # 225. The literary festival will take place on April 18-20, 2024, at the University of Southern California Campus, Los Angeles, CA.
