In 1922 Agatha Christie set sail on a ten-month voyage around the world. Her husband, Archibald Christie, had been invited to join a trade mission to promote the British Empire Exhibition, and Christie was determined to go with him. It was a life-changing decision for the young novelist, a true voyage of discovery that would inspire her future writing for years to come. Placing her two-year-old daughter in the care of her sister, Christie set sail at the end of January and did not return home until December. Throughout her journey, she kept up a detailed weekly correspondence with her mother, describing the exotic places and the remarkable people she encountered as the mission traveled through South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii, and Canada. Reproduced here for the first time, the letters are full of tales of seasickness and sunburn, motor trips and surfboarding, glamor and misery. The Grand Tour also brings to life the places and people Christie encountered through the photos she took on her portable camera, as well as some of the original postcards, newspaper cuttings, and memorabilia she collected on her trip. Edited and introduced by Agatha Christie's grandson, Mathew Prichard, and accompanied by reminiscences from her own autobiography, this unique travelogue reveals a new adventurous side to Agatha Christie, one that would ultimately influence the stories that made her a household name.

Christmas is the best time of the year...except when you accidentally hit Rudolph with your car. I've had a year. I've moved back home. Given my ex a second chance. (And failed.) And now I'm slowly caving like a wedding cake left out in the rain under my mother's pressure to hurry up and marry. Someone. Anyone. Before all the good ones are gone. Small town living at its best, right? Well, one good man isn't gone yet. Unfortunately, this hunky veterinarian has a county-wide fan group blowing up his phone with fake animal emergencies. Oh, and Haden's also my ex-boyfriend's older brother. Totally off limits. But when I run over Rudolph-totally not my fault as he was out playing reindeer games before his big night of guiding Santa's sleigh through a huge Canadian blizzard-Haden is the only one I can think to call. But will he be able to see Rudolph's nose, too? Or will he think I'm as crazy as the rabid women leading his fan group? And what will happen to us both when we interact (*cough, cough* and kinda interfere *cough, cough*) with the magical world just before its most important date of the year? A small town, age gap, ex-boyfriend's brother, Christmas romance that is a romantic comedy, and also paranormal (ish), but don't forget it's also a sweet, closed door romance that's also light romantasy. Whew. Yeah. It's got all the things. And also set in Canada, eh? So grab your toque* and let's read! * Toque (n: toock): A warm knitted cap in Canadian speak.

Until I Find You is the story of the actor Jack Burns his life, loves, celebrity and astonishing search for the truth about his parents. When he is four years old, Jack travels with his mother Alice, a tattoo artist, to several North Sea ports in search of his father, William Burns. From Copenhagen to Amsterdam, William, a brilliant church organist and profligate womanizer, is always a step ahead has always just departed in a wave of scandal, with a new tattoo somewhere on his body from a local master or scratcher. Alice and Jack abandon their quest, and Jack is educated at schools in Canada and New England including, tellingly, a girls school in Toronto. His real education consists of his relationships with older women from Emma Oastler, who initiates him into erotic life, to the girls of St. Hilda s, with whom he first appears on stage, to the abusive Mrs. Machado, whom he first meets when sent to learn wrestling at a local gym. Too much happens in this expansive, eventful novel to possibly summarize it all. Emma and Jack move to Los Angeles, where Emma becomes a successful novelist and Jack a promising actor. A host of eccentric minor characters memorably come and go, including Jack s hilariously confused teacher the Wurtz; Michelle Maher, the girlfriend he will never forget; and a precocious child Jack finds in the back of an Audi in a restaurant parking lot. We learn about tattoo addiction and movie cross-dressing, sleeping in the needles and the cure for cauliflower ears. And John Irving renders his protagonist s unusual rise through Hollywood with the same vivid detail and range of emotions he gives to the organ music Jack hears as a child in European churches. This is an absorbing and moving book about obsession and loss, truth and storytelling, the signs we carry on us and inside us, the traces we can t get rid of. Jack has always lived in the shadow of his absent father. But as he grows older and when his mother dies he starts to doubt the portrait of his father s character she painted for him when he was a child. This is the cue for a second journey around Europe in search of his father, from Edinburgh to Switzerland, towards a conclusion of great emotional force. A melancholy tale of deception, Until I Find You is also a swaggering comic novel, a giant tapestry of life s hopes. It is a masterpiece to compare with John Irving s great novels, and restates the author s claim to be considered the most glorious, comic, moving novelist at work today.

THE NUMBER ONE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER A FINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARDS 2025 'The best memoir you will read all year' NICK HORNBY 'A triumphant meditation on loss, literature and the unspoken' GUARDIAN 'Curious and idiosyncratic and enjoyable' ZADIE SMITH 'Darkly moving and heart-wrenchingly funny' MARIE CLAIRE The internationally bestselling author of Women Talking and All My Puny Sorrows, Miriam Toews, returns with a singular memoir celebrating disobedient memory, wit, writing and life. 'Why do you write?' the organiser of a literary event in Mexico City asks Miriam Toews. Each attempted answer from Toews - all of them unsatisfactory to the organiser - surfaces new layers of grief, guilt and futility connected to her sister's suicide. She has been keeping up, she realises, a decades-old internal correspondence, filling a silence she barely understands. And we, her readers, come to see that the question is as impossible to answer as deciding whether to live life as a comedy or a tragedy.

Ten years ago, Mila Ferguson left behind a devastating fire, a stolen kiss, and a shattered circle of friends in her hometown of Hart's Landing. But when a crisis brings her back, Mila just wants to get in and get out, unscathed by her mother's constant criticism and unseen by her former crush, Everett McKean. Only...Everett is everywhere. The town's attractive, beloved mayor has resisted settling down, but he's never stopped wondering about Mila. Having her back in Hart's Landing is the second chance he didn't know he was waiting for-and he's not about to waste it. As Mila slowly opens her heart to Everett and begins to rebuild her fractured friendships, she wonders if coming home was exactly what she needed. But old wounds threaten to open again when questions emerge about what really happened the night Mila left. Who's really responsible for the fire that destroyed the bakery? And will knowing the truth free Mila from the past, or ignite a blaze that burns down the future she's trying to build? People say you can never truly come home again, but sometimes coming home isn't about where you've been. It's about who you're brave enough to become. Sexy, heartfelt, and steeped in small-town charm, Hart's Landing is a story of forgiveness, friendship, and finding the family who loves you no matter how far you wander. The Hart's Landing series is standalone but is best enjoyed in order. Reading Order: Hart's Landing Rival and Main

TAI CHI / AGES 4-8 Tai Chi is fun for children because they can imagine they are playing with birds, tigers, monkeys, and dragons. They can even pretend they are flying. However, children also reap the many health, learning, and social benefits of Tai Chi--focused attention, enhanced creativity, and improved balance, circulation, and overall health--through the eight simple exercises introduced in Tai Chi for Kids. Inspired by his own son's excitement with Tai Chi at the age of only three, master teacher Stuart Olson appeals to the innate imagination and playfulness of children to teach them the eight basic forms of a Tai Chi practice. Children will love imitating the animals shown in the colorful and playful illustrations, and the photographs of Olson's 7-year-old son, Lee Jin, provide the perfect guide to each of the postures. Olson uses the language of a storyteller, wonderful animal metaphors that invite children to pretend, and easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions so that every child can enjoy such exercises as "Chasing the Monkeys Away," and "White Crane Cools Its Wings." The book is designed for children and parents to use together or for independent learning by older children. The book also includes an informative teaching tale of how Tai Chi first began. Tai Chi for Kids introduces children to a lifetime of physical fitness and good health. STUART ALVE OLSON has studied Tai Chi, meditation, and Chinese language for more than twenty-five years. Considered one of the leading authorities on Tai Chi, Stuart has published a number of books on the subject and has taught classes and workshops throughout the United States, Canada, Hong Kong, and Indonesia. He presently lives in northern California. GREGORY CRAWFORD is a self-taught artist who has made his living as an illustrator and designer for more than thirty-five years. He has worked in advertising, magazine and book illustration, film, and television. He is also active in community theater and is a passionate amateur stonemason. Gregory lives in Vermont with his wife, Jacki, and their German shepherd, Athena.

Bloomsbury presents Sibling Rivalry: How Mexico and the US Built the Most Contentious, Co-Dependent Feud in World Soccer by Hal Phillips, read by Christopher Ragland. A captivating examination of the competitive history, drama, and politics behind the storied rivalry between the United States and Mexico--in international soccer and beyond. Soccer is the most global of pastimes, but no international rivalry carries more cultural and geo-political baggage than the United States vs. Mexico, especially today. With the 2026 World Cup set to be co-hosted by the two nations (along with Canada), it's time to shine a spotlight on this storied continental grudge match. In Sibling Rivalry, Hal Phillips investigates the intense, complex associations between the two countries, both on and off the field. He examines the complicated border dynamics, the countries' economic and cultural realities, and the evolution of what was once a one-sided rivalry into an intensely equal, ever-escalating athletic confrontation. Phillips also draws on the stories of Mexican-American stars who opted to play for the US and those who chose to play for Mexico. Their perspectives breathe life into the story and show the impact of this rivalry on a personal level. More than a million people and 300,000 goods-bearing vehicles traverse the U.S.-Mexico border every day. The countries and their people are intricately intertwined, whether they want to be or not. That's what makes this centuries-old family drama, played out in fascinating detail in Sibling Rivalry, so complicated and compelling.

Apocalyptic millennialism is one of the most powerful strands in evangelical Christianity. It is not a single belief, but across many powerful evangelical groups there is general adhesion to faith in the physical return of Jesus in the Second Coming, the affirmation of a Rapture heavenward of "saved" believers, a millennium of peace under the rule of Jesus and his saints and, eventually, a final judgement and entry into deep eternity. In Discovering the End of Time (2016) Donald Harman Akenson traced the emergence of the primary packaging of modern apocalyptic millennialism back to southern Ireland in the 1820s and '30s. In Exporting the Rapture, he documents for the first time how the complex theological construction that has come to dominate modern evangelical thought was enhulled in an organizational system that made it exportable from the British Isles to North America-- and subsequently around the world. A key figure in this process was John Nelson Darby who was at first a formative influence on evangelical apocalypticism in Ireland; then the volatile central figure in Brethren apocalypticism throughout the British Isles; and also a crusty but ultimately very successful missionary to the United States and Canada. Akenson emphasizes that, as strong a personality as John Nelson Darby was, the real story is that he became a vector for the transmission of a terrifically complex and highly seductive ideological system from the old world to the new. So beguiling, adaptable, and compelling was the new Dispensational system that Darby injected into North-American evangelicalism that it continued to spread logarithmically after his death. By the 1920s, the system had become the doctrinal template of the fundamentalist branch of North-American evangelicalism and the distinguishing characteristic of the bestselling Scofield Bible.

The Blue Castle is a 1926 novel by Canadian author Lucy Maud Montgomery, best known for her novel Anne of Green Gables (1908). The story is set during the early 1900s in the fictional town of Deerwood, located in the Muskoka region of Ontario, Canada. Deerwood is based on Bala, Ontario, which Montgomery visited in 1922. Maps of the two towns show similarities. This novel is considered one of L.M. Montgomery's few adult works of fiction, along with A Tangled Web, and is the only book she wrote that is entirely set outside of Prince Edward Island. It has grown in popularity since being republished in 1990. The book was adapted for the stage twice; in 1982 it was made into a successful Polish musical, and ten years later Canadian playwright Hank Stinson authored another version, The Blue Castle: A Musical Love Story. alancy is, at twenty-nine, the old maid of the Stirling clan, which is a reputable family that has lived in the same region for over fifty years. As an only child, her entire life has been spent with her nagging mother, her perpetually down-trodden aunt, and a gossipy extended family, who, in spirit of the Victorian and middle class, actively discourage happiness and treat Valancy like a child, telling her what to do every day and constantly comparing her with her beautiful cousin, Olive, putting her down, and calling her by the baby name "Doss." Her only respites come from daydreaming of her "Blue Castle" and the handsome men who would reside in it with her, along with reading the nature books of John Foster.

Christmas is the best time of the year...except when you accidentally hit Rudolph with your car. I've had a year. I've moved back home. Given my ex a second chance. (And failed.) And now I'm slowly caving like a wedding cake left out in the rain under my mother's pressure to hurry up and marry. Someone. Anyone. Before all the good ones are gone. Small town living at its best, right? Well, one good man isn't gone yet. Unfortunately, this hunky veterinarian has a county-wide fan group blowing up his phone with fake animal emergencies. Oh, and Haden's also my ex-boyfriend's older brother. Totally off limits. But when I run over Rudolph-totally not my fault as he was out playing reindeer games before his big night of guiding Santa's sleigh through a huge Canadian blizzard-Haden is the only one I can think to call. But will he be able to see Rudolph's nose, too? Or will he think I'm as crazy as the rabid women leading his fan group? And what will happen to us both when we interact (*cough, cough* and kinda interfere *cough, cough*) with the magical world just before its most important date of the year? A small town, age gap, ex-boyfriend's brother, Christmas romance that is a romantic comedy, and also paranormal (ish), but don't forget it's also a sweet, closed door romance that's also light romantasy. Whew. Yeah. It's got all the things. And also set in Canada, eh? So grab your toque* and let's read! * Toque (n: toock): A warm knitted cap in Canadian speak. You know...a toque so you don't freeze your noggin.

A laugh-out-loud, genre-bending gay monster romantasy, in which a body-snatching alien is unwillingly transformed into a weedy prince and Isekai'd into a fantasy kingdom. But he isn't going to let that stand between him and total world domination. Or true love... From the USA Today bestselling author of Apparently, Sir Cameron Needs to Die and perfect for fans of Dreadful by Caitlin Rozakis and Someone You Can Build a Nest In by John Wiswell. Protactinium-231 is a body-snatching alien whose crew have burned through the galaxy conquering planet after planet--or at least, they've been trying. They haven't been very successful. While attempting to conquer Canada (of all places), Protactinium gets on the wrong side of a god, who strips him of his alien body, transforms him into the weedy, useless Prince Proculo, and sends him to rule over a fantasy kingdom. With no tentacles, no physical prowess, and no allies, Proculo is forced to put aside his plans for world domination and join the battle between humans and half-human monsters that is ravaging his new home. After capturing the half-human, half-spider Tantalus, Protactinium falls desperately in love with his bristling muscles and sharp fangs. And Tantalus is an eager ally in Protactinium's mission to conquer the world. Together, they will be an unstoppable force--against new enemies and old friends alike.

From the award-winning, number one bestselling author of The Cow Book.It is summer, the hay and silage have not yet been made on John Connell's farm, so he has time to indulge his other great passion: running. John sets off on a marathon run of 42.2 kilometres through his native Longford, the scene of his award-winning book The Cow Book.As he runs across woodlands, fields and tiny roads, he tells the story of his life and contemplates Ireland's history, old and new. He also remembers other great runs he has done, from Australia to Canada, and tells the stories of some of his running heroes, such as Haile Gebrselassie.Part memoir, part essay, The Running Book explores what it is to be alive and what movement can do for a person. It is deeply intimate and wide-ranging, local and global: Connell is as likely to write about colonialism and the effect of British imperialism in Ireland and its former colonies as he is about life on his family farm in Ballinalee, County Longford. Told in 42 chapters, each another kilometre in the 42.2k race, the whole book is 42,000 words long and it captures what it is to undertake a marathon moment by moment, in body and mind. Above all, The Running Book is a book about the nature of happiness and how for one man it came through the feet.

THE NUMBER ONE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER A FINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARDS 2025 'The best memoir you will read all year' NICK HORNBY 'A triumphant meditation on loss, literature and the unspoken' GUARDIAN 'Curious and idiosyncratic and enjoyable' ZADIE SMITH 'Darkly moving and heart-wrenchingly funny' MARIE CLAIRE The internationally bestselling author of Women Talking and All My Puny Sorrows, Miriam Toews, returns with a singular memoir celebrating disobedient memory, wit, writing and life. 'Why do you write?' the organiser of a literary event in Mexico City asks Miriam Toews. Each attempted answer from Toews - all of them unsatisfactory to the organiser - surfaces new layers of grief, guilt and futility connected to her sister's suicide. She has been keeping up, she realises, a decades-old internal correspondence, filling a silence she barely understands. And we, her readers, come to see that the question is as impossible to answer as deciding whether to live life as a comedy or a tragedy. A book of the year in the Guardian, New Yorker, TIME, Washington Post, New Statesman, NPR, Irish Times and LitHub. 'Toews knows exactly how to extract hilarity from horrifying events' THE TIMES 'Memoir perfection ... I adored it' CARIAD LLOYD, author of You Are Not Alone 'I can't get enough of Miriam's Toews' writing' NINA STIBBE, author of Went to London, Took the Dog 'Beautiful, hilarious, devastating' PAULA HAWKINS, author of The Blue Hour 'Brilliant ... it broke my heart in the best of ways' SHARLENE TEO, author of Ponti 'A grief memoir in the vein of Joan Didion's Blue Nights' NEW YORK TIMES A Truce That Is Not Peace was a #1 bestseller in Canada in w/c 06/09/2025

The tale begins over three-hundred years ago, when the Fair People—the goblins, fairies, dragons, and other fabled and fantastic creatures of a dozen lands—fled the Old World for the New, seeking haven from the ways of Man. With them came their precious jewels: diamonds, rubies, emeralds, pearls... But then the Fair People vanished, taking with them their twelve fabulous treasures. And they remained hidden until now... Across North America, these twelve treasures, over ten-thousand dollars in precious jewels in 1982 dollars, are buried. The key to finding each can be found within the twelve full-color paintings and verses of THE SECRET. Are you smart enough? THE SECRET: A TREASURE HUNT was published in 1982. The year before publication, the author and publisher Byron Preiss had traveled to 12 locations in the continental U.S. (and possibly Canada) to secretly bury a dozen ceramic casques. Each casque contained a small key that could be redeemed for one of 12 jewels Preiss kept in a safe deposit box in New York. The key to finding the casques was to match one of 12 paintings to one of 12 poetic verses, solve the resulting riddle, and start digging. Since 1982, only three of the 12 casques have been recovered. The first was located in Grant Park, Chicago, in 1984 by a group of students. The second was unearthed in 2004 in Cleveland by two members of the Quest4Treasure forum, and the third was found in Boston in 2019 by a father and his two children. Preiss was killed in an auto accident in the summer of 2005, but the hunt for his casques continues.

As a single, unemployed, and unapologetic twenty-five year old mess, I came to the Hamptons this summer for one reason-to focus on myself and work out my quarter-life crisis. I didn't come here planning to sneak into a private party and meet a handsome stranger. I definitely didn't come here expecting for that stranger to be Preston Rhodes-billionaire and superstar quarterback for the Manhattan Mambas. And that's not even the crazy part. He asked me to be his pretend girlfriend for a week while his family is in town. He needed a date for his sister's wedding, and I'd never turn down the opportunity to be spoiled by a rich man. The only thing is, Preston's not very good at pretending. Now instead of discovering myself, I'm spending the week discovering what life would be like with him. Instead of focusing on me, I'm focusing on how he looks at me, how he touches me, how he wants me. But now that neither one of us is faking it, I only hope that we can hold on to what we have through the bright lights and summer nights.
