Perfect book

This is the perfect medieval book: it is on purple parchment, written in golden letters, and illuminated with great images. To top it, the book is fitted in an original bookbox, very few of which survive. What more could a book lover want?

Another Bullshit Night in Suck City by Nick Flynn

Breaking Glass Ceilings

I’m sooooo interested to see what people who have not read the books will say about what’s to happen next in the “Outlander” tv series. It’s been so hunky-dory up until what’s about to happen next...

On the Shelves in Oxford this week you can either go Backpacking with the Saints or spend your time Living with the Stars - or both! Living with the Stars tells the fascinating story of what truly makes the human body. We are quite literally not who we were years, weeks, or even days ago. Backpacking with the Saints is an intimate narrative of backpacking alone through the wilderness as a spiritual practice.
