There is a small corner of my house where I keep only the books I know I’ll read again.
It’s next to the sofa.
A cup of tea.
A candle.
Jazz.
These are those books.
This is my list of inspirational books to give as gifts. I have read and loved each one of them. Some I even bought twice, to give to the women in my life that understand the word “introspection.”
Some books are for introverts, some for enthusiasts of food culture and history. Other books are for the lovers of adventures, or of Italy. And some are for the lovely and unstoppable list-makers.
These inspirational books are all in my special place: next to the sofa, where I sit and read while sipping a hot cup of tea. This after lighting up a perfumed candle, snuggling under my favorite plaid, and playing some jazz or classical music.
When giving a friend one of these books, think that you are giving them a magical moment of peace, inspiration, and self-care.
This is only a fragment. The full piece lives inside Accademia Sub Rosa.
A quieter space.
A deeper Italy.
A slower way of seeing
Not for everyone.
