HAPPY READS
Books can provide a welcome escape to a world of beauty and fantasy when cabin fever gets to you. Step into the whimsical world of Hermès with Alice Charbin and Rachael Canepari’s Hermès: Heavenly Days, featuring 300 of Charbin’s illustrations for the brand, or let Valerie Steele’s Pink: The History of a Punk, Pretty, Powerful Color take you through the evolution of the saccharine hue in fashion, art and culture. Instead of chafing at the enforced isolation, think of it as an opportunity to recharge your body. For that, look to Nina Lausecker and Sebastian Landaeus’ Kombucha, Kefir & Natural Sodas, which gives a blow-by-blow account on how to brew your way to a healthier you.
