Book Review The Full Moon Coffee Shop by Mai Mochizuki
This is the perfect transportive holiday reading. An uplifting and psychedelic novel about a mystical and ephemeral cafe-on-wheels that appears on the full moon where gigantic cat waiters serve human passers-by with coffee, cake and an astrological reading of their past, present and future. If it sounds cosy, well it really is! It’s a bit like a Murakami novel but less dark and forboding and more heavy on the kawaii-cute.

Book Review: Nature’s Palette by Thames & Hudson
Do you love nature? do you love colour? If you love these two things then this book is a must-have for your collection. A traditional reference guide originally published in 1814, a beautifully bound and illustrated new version is now available.
Nature’s Palette features all of the hues and colours you can possibly imagine in our green and blue verdant planet. Along with exquisite nature drawings and paintings. Opening this book is like being transported to a more earthy and connected era where nature in all of her splendour was all people knew about sourcing colour. This book is perfect for a gift for the artist you know. Or if you’re an artist, designer, nature-lover or aesthete, I think you would also enjoy it.
