This is a fascinating book, fully illustrated with colour photographs (and a few reproductions of pamphlets and such, though these are generally too small to see much detail). Some of the ways in which these “catacomb saints“ are decorated are amazing to see, just in terms of craft.

Not one I read because I venerate saints, and probably a little too academic/secular to please those who do.

Instagram kept feeding this up to me as an ad and I bit the bullet, expecting it would be a bit of a disaster IF it ever arrived. But it did and it‘s gorgeous! I‘ve only been to a few, including this library in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. This is the perfect book to curl up with and daydream ❤️

A visually stunning coffee-table book that chronicles the glamour, history, and cultural significance of Hollywood‘s most exclusive post-Oscar celebrations. The book does more than showcase pretty pictures; it also traces how Oscar parties evolved from intimate studio gatherings in the 1940s to the high-profile, branded spectacles of today. Readers interested in Hollywood history will appreciate the timeline of shifting trends in fame and media.

I read three bangers in a row but The Antidote was the best book this year, absolutely incredible. I personally did not enjoy The Long Island Compromise.
