Great books, even though for Tipping Point, the future is behind us!
When I wrote Tipping Point nine years ago, 2024 felt like far into a future we couldn't possibly predict. Now, we've overtaken my fictional D-Day by twelve months... The Project Renova Series #Pandemic #Apocalypse bookgoodies.com/a/B07C9ZWHCN #KindleUnlimited.

A nice review in the TLS: “The Invention of Amsterdam…. captures Coates’s infectious enthusiasm for his adopted home… The author… is an effortlessly charming guide… and has an excellent eye for the fetching fact” the-tls.co.uk/world/travel/t…
I finally made it to the new Fenix migration musuem in Rotterdam, which opened a couple of months ago. I thought it was excellent.
An excellent book and one I know I’ll read again!
The Dutch–German border wasn’t always so invisible. Thomas Jefferson crossed it somewhere near here in 1788 and was amazed by the differences between two countries which he like many Americans had assumed were largely identical. ~Ben Coates Book: The Rhine

I adored this book from the gifted @fatdogsfrance. It immersed me again the Wales I knew in my own childhood. Wonderful! #welovememoirs
The battlements were crumbly, the ceiling leaked, and sometimes a curtain fluttered - all by itself. Living in a haunted castle was unusual. Join me as I grow up in Wales, the little country with a big heart. 🏴🐾#booktwt #bookstoread #booksbooksbooks bit.ly/Fat-Dogs-Prequ…
I can't express the feeling of knowing I will have a picture book in this world that honors my memoir. To help celebrate, check out my ebook sale and get a glimpse of where it all began!🙏🫶
Everyone has a chair. That thing you are bound to or unwillingly defines you. An element that makes you different from the rest. One that you have little choice in the matter. What’s YOUR chair? amazon.com/dp/0578983737/
