Book Description
Le Divorce meets The Elegance of the Hedgehog in this hilariously entertaining mega-bestseller from France When her chronically unemployed husband runs off to start a crocodile farm in Kenya with his mistress, Joséphine Cortès is left in an unhappy state of affairs. The mother of two—confident, beautiful teenage Hortense and shy, babyish Zoé—is forced to maintain a stable family life while making ends meet on her meager salary as a medieval history scholar. Meanwhile, Joséphine’s charismatic sister Iris seems to have it all—a wealthy husband, gorgeous looks, and a très chic Paris address—but she dreams of bringing meaning back into her life. When Iris charms a famous publisher into offering her a lucrative deal for a twelfth-century romance, she offers her sister a deal of her own: Joséphine will write the novel and pocket all the proceeds, but the book will be published under Iris’s name. All is well—that is, until the book becomes the literary sensation of the season.

Book Description
Thomas Brackmann has lived and worked in Saudi Arabia since 2010. In his spare time he travels around the world (2018 he finished all 193 UN member states), teaches Judo to Kids, organizes charity events, and writes short stories about all his adventures. In 2013 he discovered running as an additional hobby and shifted slowly to become a triathlete. Between 2014 and 2018 he finished 1 Double Ironman, 6 full Ironman, several shorter triathlons, different Marathons and Ultra Marathons. However, travelling was always his major passion. In the recent years he planned to travel to each country to have ticked off all 193 UN member states. This book is about his travel adventures around the globe. It consists of short stories from Ironman triathlons in Australia, interviews with semi-professional travelers from Sweden, fun reports from German submarines, and insights of other fellow globe trotters. Most importantly each chapter represents one country and is filled with tips, tricks and lessons learned to travel easier, better, and more intense. After reading the book you might know how penguin poo is smelling, what is the taste of a one dollar omelet in Nepal, why Tuvalu will disappear, and how the Germans know everything better. Definitely this book is not a detailed travel advice work. You will not find specific travel details about each country, it is rather filled with funny stories of a highly motivated average talented triathlete conquering the world by travelling. Therefore this book is for everyone who is infected by wanderlust and also has the desire for sports, party, new places, and interesting people around the world. It is a great guide for finding the best way to have fun in travel life. Worry we can tomorrow. Today we travel and discover new places and meet new people.

Book Description
The third, crazy, Spike Milliganesque story in the hilarious Aunt Effie series for junior readers. Aunt Effie is restless. She and her 26 nieces and nephews are off again in the scow Margery Daw on a treasure hunt across the pirate-infested waterways of the Hauraki Gulf and The Waikato. However boat and crew become marvellously sidetracked: the scow is converted into a travelling cowshed for cross-country travel; a hot-pool swim makes the little ones go bendy; the race between Banana Bob's Model T Ford and Uncle Chris's Stanley Steamer is fraught with high-jinks and skulduggery. Meanwhile back in Auckland, One Tree Hill has sprung a leak and Rangitoto Island is sinking while the Prime Minister gambles away the nation's taxes in the Casino Tower. In this third Aunt Effie travelogue, Jack Lasenby creates another glorious, crazy kaleidoscope of time, place and circumstance.
