Hello hello, According to a sign I saw last week in London, tomorrow is the saddest day of the year. Blue Monday is supposed to be when we all notice that it's dark and wet. And at around the same time, we realise that all the mince pies have run out. Sounds like a good time to curl up with a new book. And, of course, we have some suggestions...see our list of upcoming titles below. And if you need some inspiration while waiting for your book to arrive in the post? You can check out our list of the best places to visit in 2025 right here, right now. Until next week, Abi Have you read our guide to the best places to travel in 2025? | Ad Northern Madagascar Madagascar has always held a special place in Bradtβs story, thanks to Hilary Bradtβs enduring connection to this extraordinary region and biodiversity hot spot. But itβs a vast country, and this year, we celebrate the north. The iconic Three Bays near Antsiranana offer sweeping coastal views and tranquil sands, while nearby Ramena Beach and the Emerald Sea deliver opportunities for relaxation and snorkeling in crystalline waters. Inland, the trails of Montagne dβAmbre National Park wind through forests alive with waterfalls, orchids, and Madagascarβs famed chameleons. For those seeking Madagascarβs raw, untamed beauty, the Ankarana Special Reserve is a must-see. Its jagged tsingy formations and hidden caves create a landscape thatβs a cross between a cathedral organ and the teeth of Jaws. βRemote River Expeditions β Madagascar run quality tours throughout Madagascar, including their 13-day Highlights of the North itinerary which takes in Nosy Be, Lokobe National Park, Mont Passot, Nosy Tanikely, Nosy Iranja and Nosy Komba.
