I love learning new words, especially when those words are fun to say. Words like hullabaloo, whippersnapper and chimichanga just make me smile. 

They make me smile so much, I have a page in my notebook where I collect them so I can return to them again and again. 

There’s one word I added recently that I’m particularly obsessed with: flaneuring. 

Flaneuring means wandering with intention for a better life. Slowing down, being present, soaking everything in. We could always use a little more of that, right?!

Right. 

That’s why I’m sharing three books that embrace the idea of flaneuring so you can, too.

I’ve got one adult non-fiction selection to kick us off, an adult fiction book that will literally immerse you in flaneuring and a picture book that will sucker-punch you in your gut to start paying attention to life. Really. 

Here are the books mentioned in this episode. You’ll find links to my Amazon or Bookshop affiliate stores. Thanks for your bookish support!
