  The Odell Buckenflush Chronicles 4 is back with 48 wildly entertaining river tales that prove one thing: you don’t have to be graceful to be legendary. Join Dr. Odell Buckenflush and his lovable crew of misfits as they brave rogue canoes, border mishaps, soapbox disasters, and one unforgettable encounter with a “she-raft.” Whether he's accidentally smuggling people across international lines or inventing Olympic canoe events no one asked for, Odell shows us that outdoor adventures are a lot like life—messy, unpredictable, and best tackled with a good sense of humor. 
  Each story ends with a “Tale of the Tale” that peeks behind the scenes at the real-life mayhem that inspired the madness. This isn’t just a book for paddlers—it’s for anyone who’s ever fallen out of a boat, lost their keys in a questionable outhouse, or just needed a good laugh. Educational? Sort of. Inspirational? Accidentally. Entertaining? Absolutely.

  For once, these men are the objects; I am the subject. Me, me, me. 
  Rosemary Mac Cabe was always a serial monogamist – never happier than when she was in a relationship or, at the very least, on the way to being in one. But in her desperate search for ‘the one’ – from first love to first lust, through a series of disappointments and the searing sting of heartbreak – she learned that finding love might mean losing herself along the way. 
  This Is Not About You is a life story in a series of love stories. About Henry, with the big nose and the lovely mum, with whom sex was like having a verruca frozen off in the doctor’s surgery: ‘uncomfortable, but I had entered into this willingly’. About Dan, with the goatee. About Luke, who gave her a split condom. About Frank, who was married… 
  But mostly, it’s about Rosemary, figuring out just how much she was willing to sacrifice for her happy ending.
