Cartoonist and Instagram sensation Beth Evans (@bethdrawsthings) has one goal
and one goal only, and that's to make her readers feel seen, uplifted, and not
so alone in the world. She successfully does that yet again with Thinking of
You, her new collection of humorous and validating comics.
Building on the success of I Really Didn't Think This Through, this long-awaited, hilarious sequel by popular Instagram artist Beth Evans offers her take on life's most daunting questions
For the anxiously overscheduled homebody in all of us, an undated monthly
(un)planner featuring a dozen never-been-seen-before cartoons from the
delightfully unconventional Beth Evans. Beth Evans' disarming wit and inviting
cartoons have helped fans manage their own expectations and the expectations
of others, and encouraged them to be gentle with themselves if (and inevitably
when) they fall short. Now, the wise and understanding artist is back to cheer
us on every day with this undated week-at-a-glance diary. But I Can't Wait to
Cancel This isn't like other yearly datebooks. It's an anti-planner--a place
everyone can use to keep track of plans and goals, and to recalibrate if
everything isn't done exactly on schedule. I Can't Wait to Cancel This
includes 12 month sections that can be started anytime--just circle the
appropriate month listed at the top of the section page--each illustrated with
a never-been-seen-before cartoon, as well as 4 week-long spreads broken down
into 7 day slots. It also features a portfolio pocket on the inside back
cover, an elastic closure, and best of all, original cover art created by Beth
that compliments her previous book I Really Didn't Think This Through as well
as the Beth Evans Journal . About the Author Beth Evans is an illustrator and

Scandinavian style has long been associated with light, clean-lined spaces, or pared-down monochrome interiors. However, in recent years the colour palette has seen a dramatic shift away from pale, cool shades, and dramatic, darker, and more characterful hues have begun to appear in stylish Nordic homes. Why have the Scandinavians suddenly welcomed colour in this way and how is it being used? As well as discussing the theories behind this shift and analysis of the most popular colour schemes, in "New Nordic Colour," interiors writer Antonia af Petersen offers expert advice on choosing colour for your home. She goes on to visit 10 Nordic homes that are divided into three different types. Dark Eclectic schemes feature deep, intense hues: dusk blue, storm grey, forest green, and indigo, all inspired by the more dramatic tones of the Nordic landscape. Bold Accents focuses on the details that stand out and add character--think deep red berry bushes or the russet tones of the northern birch forests in Fall. Finally, in Majestic Pastels, Antonia provides a glimpse into interiors decorated in strong but subtle pastels for a remarkably modern effect. These unique Nordic homes all have one thing in common--plain white walls and monochrome palettes have been replaced with rich, complex, and vibrant hues
