Book recs

I’ve always been a bit of a book nerd, and books often sit quietly in the background of my creative process. Below you'll find a collection of books that have inspired me in different ways. Not just art-related, but books that touch on spirituality, play, and how we relate to life and each other. Maybe one of these finds its way to you at the right moment too:
