A forest book club at SIF in Taipei

Three cats sit among bell-shaped flowers, and one holds a book that says “NO CAT NO LIFE.” The image belongs to everyday weekend's Hotel the Cat world. At booth J01, the Seoul studio run by sisters monging and saturdaymood brings illustrated books and paper goods; its two worlds also include Rainbow Forest Records.

WOOYA's image cuts to blue shadow and a lime-green floor. A schoolgirl eats beside a long row of shoes. The artist at H12 works on the End-of-Century Children comics, drawing characters' lingering attachments. These are two starting points for exploring the Korean illustrators gathered for SIF's first overseas edition.

The typhoon closed October 23–24. The organiser's new hours are Sunday, October 25, 10:00–20:00, and Monday, October 26, 10:00–19:30. Ticket sales and entry end one hour before closing. A regular adult day ticket costs NT$220; the organiser's October 24 notice promises full refunds without a handling fee for storm-affected cancellations.

Find the fair in Huashan's East 2 Four-Linked Buildings. From Zhongxiao Xinsheng MRT, allow ten minutes for the roughly 350 m walk to the park; the organiser recommends Exit 1. Follow signs to East 2 inside. The ticket page below carries authorised booking links and visitor conditions. Bring a bag with enough room for the book you hadn't planned to buy.
