Here’s some news that will spark plenty of joy: On Friday, May 17th,Marie Kondoannounced that she’s releasing not one, but two brand-new books.

“I have an announcement!”Kondo wrote on Instagram. “I just put the finishing touches on two new books, and I’ll be revealing more information very soon.”

We don’t know much about the new books yet. But if her other books are any indication, they’ll inspire you to declutter, organize, and simplify your life.”The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up” focuses on decluttering and organizing your home; “Spark Joy如何折叠everyth”提供了指南ing in your house using her signature KonMari Method; and “The Life-Changing Manga of Tidying Up” is a graphic novel about a young woman who hires Kondo to help get her home (and her life) in order.

What could the new books be about? We don’t know anything for sure, but we do have some guesses. Kondo has already written extensively about tidying up your drawers, rooms, and home. Maybe the new books will be about organizing another area of your life, like your work or your finances. Or maybe she’ll dedicate an entire book to clarifying that she doesn’t want you toget rid of all of your books, as many people thought after watching “Tidying Up with Marie Kondo” on Netflix.

Perhaps Kondo will tackle decluttering your heart, mind, and spirit next. After all, when shewas a guest“斯蒂芬·科尔伯特”菲bruary, she told the host therealareas people need to focus on tidying—and it’s not their homes.

“We all have problems tidying our homes, but it’s not just that,”she saidvia her interpreter. “We all have clutter in our hearts, and that’s what needs tidying.”

There’s no word on exactly when Kondo’s two new books will hit shelves, but it sounds like her newsletter subscribers will be the first to know the deets. She suggested signing up to be among the first to hear updates and get preorder access, which you can do atthe bottom of her website.

Fingers crossed that these new books inspire Netflix to renew “Tidying Up with Marie Kondo” for a second (and third, and fourth) season.
