Coffee table books
It gets dark really early now and this can be quite depressing. And it’s totally understandable that you can’t deal with Ulysses or Shakespeare right now so I am going to share with you some of my favourite light reads. I’ve only picked fashion and photography because you need something beautiful to feast your eyes rather than frothy self-help books or failed attempts at writing novels such as Sophie Kinsella’s series. Without further ado, here’s my list:
