Lockdown reads: my favorite books and magazines
I LOVE BOOKS. ALWAYS HAVE, ALWAYS WILL.
As a kid I was a huge bookworm and it’s one of the parts of me that’ll probably never change. Although in recent years I read much less than I would love to, I always have some books and magazines lying around the house, just in case I have five minutes to spare to flick through some pages. I especially love beautifully designed books and magazines which are not only fun to read but can also serve as styling props on desks and coffee tables afterwards.
Here’s a small round up the reading material that caught my eye recently.
1/ Wild at heart
Magali Elali and Bart Kiggen, the duo behind lifestyle blog and creative studio Coffeeklatch, interviewed fifteen creative people at their home about a universal theme: the special and warm relationship with their pets. What’s not to love?
2/ suitcase
This magazine is a must for travel lovers as it’s crammed with travel inspiration on lesser-traveled destinations, made by award-winning writers, photographers and illustrators. Their latest issue, the Health Issue, is out now.
3/ great escapes
A guide to Africa’s most beautiful hotels and a treasure trove of inspiration for your next Africa-bound getaway. Filled with key information, gorgeous photography and lots of hidden gems.
4/ wanderlust
Explore the world one step at a time. From the spectacular El Caminito del Rey in Spain to the fabled Kumano Kodo pilgrimage in Japan, Wanderlust presents legendary walking routes throughout the world.
5/ remote places
This all time favorite gets a whole new meaning in times of social distancing. The book lines up 22 out-of-the-way places where you can get off the grid and reconnect to the essentials, surrounded by raw pristine nature.
6/ weekends
In her book Weekends, travel photographer and stylist Kara Rosenlund celebrates the quintessential spirit of summer weekends in Australia through interiors, food and nature. A must as we’re spending our weekends at home.
