Kindle Book Recs - Self-Help, Minimalism & Green Living

 

I use my kindle quite a lot, and I’m always looking for new titles to read. My favourite themes are minimalism, self-help and green living but I sometimes branch out into other topics. 

I tend to support less well-known authors, and go for kindle books priced around £2.00 with a relatively short number of pages, for example 100 pages. It’s nice to have a selection of these type of books as they are great palette cleansers for more substantial reads.

I have picked out some of my very best favourites from the last year or so. I would recommend all of these and each have a reasonable price point. Feel free to do further research into them on Amazon. Some of these have pretty front covers too.

Books for Dog Lovers

 

The New York Dog by Rachael Hale McKenna

This was quite a recent read for me which I thoroughly enjoyed. The author sets out to document (through both photography and stories) some of the many dogs and owners living in New York City. A beautifully presented coffee table book, giving glimpses into what it’s like living in the big city through the eyes of a dog lover.


How to Photograph Pets by Nick Ridley

This book has more of a traditional flair, coming from an author who clearly has a passion for dogs. As well as giving insights to photographing pets, the book covers some advice into animal behavior as well. Great for beginners wanting to improve their photos of much-loved pets.


Underwater Puppies by Seth Casteel

As the title suggests, this is a photography book full of puppies being captured underwater. This is a bit of a niche idea, but I found the images to be arty and full of life.

Dogs in Cars by Lara Jo Regan

Another niche type of book, the author who is a photographer, captures dogs while they are traveling in cars. I liked that the dog breeds were included as well as their names. The photography is really outstanding, and a perfect read for dog lovers.


Pugs in Costumes by unknown author

This is a short humour book, including images of pugs in various fancy dress with captions. There are some really funny pages that anyone can appreciate, but particularly pug lovers.


The Three Little Pugs and the Big Bad Cat by Becky Davies

This is a children’s picture book of a retelling of the three little pigs but instead it’s the three little pugs. The mix of illustration and photos of pugs was done very well. There’s a lovely feel-good sentiment to this fictional story.


Are you a dog lover too?
Do any of these books interest you? :-) Xx
