'Buddha’s Closet': Island book named one of the best indie books of 2025

Kerri Scott, a Courtenay resident, has had her book ‘Buddha’s Closet, Cleaning as a Path to Enlightenment,’ named as one of the best indie books of 2025. Her book is a finalist for the Lifestyle/Home/How To category in the 2025 Next Generation Indie Book Awards. The awards are the world’s largest book award program for independent publishers and self-published authors.  The awards are judged by leaders in the indie publishing industry, many who have come from long careers in the major publishing houses. This is the 18th year of the awards. The judges draw on their experience and love of storytelling and recognize books that should gather a larger audience. Scott’s book explores The Eight-Fold Path to Wardrobe Wisdom, Slow Style, What Tickles You Pink, Saying Yes to Your Mess, Retail Therapy, Sadhana and Busting Through Limiting Beliefs.
