Fabric-sample selecting, interminable Instagram scrolling, magazine-page turning…sometimes designers need a palate cleanser in the form of some distinctly non-visual stimulation. Some of AD PRO’s favorite designers weighed in on the books they’re devouring these days: From Charlotte Moss’s and Noam Dvir’s journalistically minded picks to spirit-lifting choices from Mikel Welch and Mally Skok, this season’s must-read list has something for everyone. (And if you’re still in the market for some visual inspiration, we’ve collected 15 of the top design tomes debuting this fall for your perusal, too.)

The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and the Horse by Charlie Mackesy
“This has been my go-to gift for friends in these tough times. Charlie’s simple illustrations and uplifting message surrounding the activity of three creatures and a little boy are just uplifting. His Instagram with voice narrations is also very soothing and brings a smile to anyone’s face.”
