It's Awards Season in the world of travel writing and while the events may not be as glamorous as the Oscars, the people nominated are far more interesting and gorgeous...
In all seriousness, it's great to see so many from the Bradt family recognised for their hard work and talent.
I also always love these shortlists for inspiration about what to read next.
So, browse below to find out what should be on your bookshelf this week.
And wish us luck!
Cheers, Abi
