  A unique, funny picture of Britain... A love letter to bookshops and the vagaries of public transport.' Richard Osman 
   
  Why play to 12,000 people when you can play to 12? In Autumn 2021, Robin Ince's stadium tour with Professor Brian Cox was postponed due to the pandemic. Rather than do nothing, he decided instead to go on a tour of over a hundred bookshops in the UK, from Wigtown to Penzance; from Swansea to Margate. Packed with witty anecdotes and tall tales, Bibliomaniac takes the reader on a journey across Britain as Robin explores his lifelong love of bookshops and books - and also tries to find out just why he can never have enough of them. It is the story of an addiction and a romance, and also of an occasional points failure just outside Oxenholme.

  Ten Camels for My Wife

  John Meadows

  A highly entertaining anecdotal collection of humorous life observations during a trip around the world. Travelling by bus to Kathmandu, the author experiences hair-raising misadventures: a chase through Jerusalem, a gun battle in Jordan, a pummelling by a gargantuan masseur in Istanbul, a python in India, and the terrifying James Bond encounter in Australia. His portrait of an Afghani shopkeeper has a bizarre twist. 
  Time-travelling detours punctuate interesting stories about the Taj Mahal, Sydney Opera House, Tahiti, Easter Island statues and Christ in Rio. More than a travelogue, personal insights and character portrayals are underscored by whimsical humour.

  Camino de la Luna - Forgiveness

  It takes something really powerful to make you leave Hawai’i (or you know, running out of money).  I found myself called back to England by my heart, but not for long.  It wasn’t yet time to settle, it was time to explore another country I’d once fallen in love with, Croatia and to see if I could find a home, a place to rest and write.I didn’t have any idea quite how much more I had to learn, to understand and this journey was going to show me, above all things, the power of forgiveness.What is forgiveness?  Perhaps it’s like the sunrise and the sunset, something we’ve seen and known for a long time, before there was language to explain it, before there was science to explain it.  Even when we got it wrong, when we believed the sun moved around the earth, (which was an easy assumption to make), the sun rose and set without interruption, without correcting our misguided beliefs.So I think forgiveness exists, it rises and falls, even when we ignore it, just as we all share unconditional love we’re sometimes blind to.  I think we need forgiveness to survive.  Without forgiving ourselves for our mistakes, our missteps, we’d never move forward, we’d just sit down and rot in the road.  Indeed some people do.  And how can we forgive ourselves if we can’t forgive others who have hurt us so much less than we’ve hurt ourselves?Let go, let go, let go, it’s as simple as that and we can forgive even in the midst of the worst abuse, we can use forgiveness to end the cycle of abuse, “abuse begets abuse”, to let go of the need to punish, to be right and, so importantly, the need to keep suffering because of the past.From the Amazon Best Selling author of "Japan Is Very Wonderful," the "Camino de la Luna" series and the Pearl Escapes mini-guides.The third in this series (or fifth including the self help manual "free Feeling Real Emotions Everyday" and prequel "Japan Is Very Wonderful") "Camino de la Luna – Forgiveness" continues the journey.
