An absolute GEM for your TBR list. I’d highly recommend it for anyone searching for a breezy, light book that’ll warm your heart and still give you plenty to think about.

560 pages and I still want more. Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver is a work of fiction, but the characters felt real, and will now live rent-free in my head forever.

Every now and then, I read a book that leaves me speechless. A book that is so moving, so eloquent, so layered, that I do not feel called to review it — but to simply admire its existence.

Everything is Beautiful and Everything Hurts by local New Zealand author Josie Shapiro is a love story about running. For the novel’s protagonist, Mickey Bloom, running is community, self-care, grit. It’s pain but it’s also what lies beyond pain: strength.

Ann Patchett's latest novel is bathed in quiet wisdom and unexpected nostalgia.

The book I wish I’d read sooner.

I share my take on Sarah Wilson’s brave and confronting memoir about climate change.

Yes, I get excited about a lot of books. But I’m really, truly, deeply, intensely excited about these ones.

Bregman shows that humans are inherently kind, decent, and caring - it’s not idealism, it’s science.

Lorraine Murphy’s latest book – Get Remarkably Organised – speaks straight to my nerdy, stationery-loving, type-A soul. An entire book dedicated to planning ahead and getting your sh*t together? Yes, please.
