***A Waterstones Best Books of 2022 pick***'A unique, funny picture of Britain... A love letter to bookshops and the vagaries of public transport.' Richard Osman'Ince's love of books is infectious.' 'Books of the Year', IndependentWhy 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.

'Arnott has an eye and an ear for description that can elevate otherwise quiet moments to something genuinely transcendent... A luminously told, whole-life story of a young boy discovering how to be his own man.' GuardianNed West dreams of sailing across the river on a boat of his very own. To Ned, a boat means freedom - the fresh open water, squid-rich reefs, fires on private beaches - a far cry from life on Limberlost, the family farm, where his father worries and grieves for Ned's older brothers. They're away fighting in a ruthless and distant war, becoming men on the battlefield, while Ned - too young to enlist - roams the land in search of rabbits to shoot, selling their pelts to fund his secret boat ambitions. But as the seasons pass and Ned grows up, real life gets in the way. Ned falls for Callie, the tough, capable sister of his best friend, and together they learn the lessons of love, loss, and hardship. When a storm decimates the Limberlost crop and shakes the orchard's future, Ned must decide what to protect: his childhood dreams, or the people and the land that surround him... At turns tender and vicious, Limberlost is a tale of the masculinities we inherit, the limits of ownership and understanding, and the teeming, vibrant wonders of growing up. Told in spellbinding, folkloric spirit, this is an unforgettable love letter to the richness of the natural world from a writer of rare talent.

A big, suspenseful, page-turning debut novel of teen summers and unsolved murders, by an award-winning rising Irish star

Janice Hallett meets Ben Aaronovitch in this debut crime series that will have you laughing loudly enough to raise the dead.

No other city has had so many faces and so many disasters and has reinvented itself so many times. No other city is like Berlin.The Berlin of the past 800 years has been both haven and hell. It is a city tortured by its history, where the traumatised gather and where traumas are unleashed. Each plague, each fire, each war, each act of destruction and self-destruction requires it to start again.Berlin should never have become a world metropolis. Its geography and topography spell trouble: where are the great rivers and bridges? The mountains on the horizon? Instead, it started out as a swamp and all around are sweeping plains, exposed to the Siberian winds. Over the centuries, few of the great figures who have visited have had much good to say about it. Yet now it is the destination to which the world is flocking. It has been a trading post, military barracks, industrial powerhouse, centre of science and learning, consumer paradise, hotbed of self-indulgence and promiscuity - and the laboratory for the worst experiment in horror known to man. It has now achieved global status/it is the geographical and spiritual midpoint between the rival superpowers/it is the city of refuge/it is home to 180 nationalities, and more than a quarter of the population have a migrant background. After all the episodes of disaster, redemption and reinvention, is Berlin finally at ease with itself? This is the tale of a turbulent city that in spite of itself has become a magnet for the world.
