Ive only had this copy a few days and I’ve powered through it! My goodness this book is exactly what this world needs right now! I honestly adore it! I especially liked the season chapter idea… ideas to use throughout each season is perfect! I really hope the author brings more of this out soon and I will be purchasing a copy when it’s released! My students are going to love this so much too!

I loved Daily Glimmers and it is one of those books that you will return to again and again. It's about finding the small joys - glimmers, in daily life and reminds you of the little things that can make such a difference.

I really enjoyed reading this advance review copy of Daily Glimmers by Bridget McNulty. I felt it offered a gentle reminder to slow down and savour life’s small, joyful moments. It helped me shift away from feeling the stress and routine of daily life, and look towards the simple beauty that often goes unnoticed in our daily lives.

It's easily organized around the changing seasons, where each section brings its own collection of thoughtful reflections, personal anecdotes, and uplifting prompts. The structure makes it easy to dip in and out, returning to favourite passages as needed. I loved the illustrations throughout as they add a whimsical touch, while the curated reading list and poetry suggestions at the end are a lovely bonus - which I thought was a great touch!

This book feels like a warm companion on grey days. It's calming, hopeful, and gently inspiring. I think this book will be perfect for gifting or keeping nearby when you need a quiet reset.

Thank you to Watkins Publishing, Netgalley, and the author for this ARC! I’d heard of glimmers before, but only had guessed what it meant. When I saw the description of this book I really wanted to learn more about this concept. I really enjoyed not only learning what glimmers are, but the author gave so many examples of how it can be applied in real life. I really liked how the author broke the book into four seasons. I thought it was unique and helpful. This is definitely a must read book!

I've heard of the concept of glimmers but was really interested to hear more about the art of finding little joys in every day. I love the fact that the book is split into four sections, for each season and gives you ideas of little glimmers you may see day to day, This is definitely a book I will be buying in physical format, and one I will be purchasing as gifts!

Thank you netgalley for my ARC copy for a honest review.

I highly recommend reading if you have heard the word 'glimmer' and want some help on identifying them in your life. I appreciated how McNaulty defined the difference between glimmers and gratitude, and the MULTITUDE of examples she offered that will appeal to anyone at any stage of life. Open your eyes a little wider and I promise all the glimmers are there. For myself, even just yesterday I saw sunflowers EVERYWHERE. Are they my favorite flower? No. Was I intentionally looking for them? No. Did it make me giddy and excited everytime I saw one? Yes :) And that, is the point of glimmers.

Thank you to Watkins Publishing, Netgalley, and the author for this Advanced Readers Copy in exchange for an honest review.

This book is such a breath of fresh air and reminder to.separate happiness vs joy, and seek out the glimmers in our days. I highly recommend reading this to help retrain our brains to focus internally on the daily joys in our lives, and seek out moments externally that will bring us those glimmers.

I am so appreciative of receiving this ARC, and I can only imagine how gorgeous this book will be in print!

Daily Glimmers by Bridget McNulty is a guide to finding the glimmers in everyday life. The main idea is that we should focus on noticing and acknowledging simple daily pleasures that we often miss, either because we’re not looking or because we’re too busy.

The research and thought that must have gone into this book is evident. The chapters, thoughtfully laid out by season, highlight so many wonderful daily glimmers. The illustrations add charm, as do the book and poem recommendations at the end.

This is the kind of book I’ll return to regularly, and it would make a lovely gift for loved ones and friends. It's engaging, well-structured, and often made me smile and feel happy.

I received a free advanced review copy from NetGalley, and this is my honest review.
