Cosy

Laura Weir, illus. by Rose Electra Harris. HarperOne, Nov.

Weir delights in simple pleasures, many of which revolve around staying warm during a drizzly chill, in this

“winsome, particularly British riff on the hygge craze,” PW’s review said. Harris’s illustrations, reminiscent of

Quentin Blake, match Weir’s Roald Dahl–like observations. “The more rom-com the rain, the better the catalyst

for cosy,” Weir writes, setting up her meditations on the perfect cuppa, cable-knit sweaters, and the precise

temperature for a bath worth lingering in.

Kintsugi

Tomás Navarro, trans. from the Spanish by Jennifer Adcock. Sounds True, Nov.

When Navarro, a psychologist in Spain, noticed that many of his patients referred to themselves as “broken,”

it got him thinking about kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing pottery with visible golden pigment. He began

incorporating into his practice the concept of illuminating, rather than obscuring, scars, and likewise uses

kintsugi “as a metaphor for personal healing in his approachable debut,” PW’s review said.

The Power of Nunchi

Euny Hong. Penguin Books, Nov.

Roughly translated as “eye measure,” nunchi is the art of sizing up the energy of a room with the goal of

building connections and improving relationships. Interspersing cultural history with nunchi dos and

don’ts—scenarios include buying a house and sharing a meal—Hong, a Korean-American journalist and

the author of 2014’s The Birth of Korean Cool, makes the case to Western readers for more silent obser-

vation and fewer dramatic entrances in what PW’s review called a “deceptively simple yet profoundly wise

guide.” —J.K.
