I really like Alison May's books. I love her ideas and her views on home. This book wasn't as long as I would wish, but it was full of great ideas.

Time to ready the house and gardens for Spring. - February 24, 2025

Quick little inspirational reads.

"Before bedtime, the Spring House should be left tidy and fragrant....
The aim is to go to bed with a house that will strike you as deliciously fresh in the morning, primped and preened for the day ahead so your plans are not diluted, nor compromised by musty chaos.

Is this possible in the midst of kitchen remodel. Absolutely not. But for some reason reading about perfect houses is comforting during the chaos.April 16, 2022

Lovely!

Alison May shows us exactly what and how to make our homes and our lives radiant in springtime. Winter still has piles of snow everywhere, even though it's supposed to be spring - The Spring House brings spring into my spirit, not just my calendar.
Had to take off one star though; it's TOO SHORT. I wanted to revel in spring far longer.

Look, this is a fun little series, but I wish the author had bothered to proofread and check details especially on the book recommendation sections. Each of them has at least one major error in the titles she’s suggesting. You couldn’t have googled it? It’s THE Enchanted April, not AN. Annoying.

I love to devour every word Alison writes. She always gives me great inspiration. Thanks for the new book!

Albeit succinct, this book is filled with delights which are comforting and inspiring. I love all of Alison's books and read them repeatedly to keep myself motivated when daily clutter and drudgery starts to get me down.

Highly recommend this series

I return to this every Spring and every Spring I take away a little delicious inspiration. The books are very easy to read and dip in and out of. I love the reading recommendations and have been introduced to a wealth of fiction authors and non-fiction books I would otherwise have been ignorant of. I feel like Alison holds your hand whilst you take a tiny step out of your comfort zone. I also love her writing style and authenticity.
