    A good yarn.

  • Straight Up

    By Ruby Tui
    3 stars

    Authentic, admirable young woman who has literally pulled herself up by the boot straps and taken every opportunity. Another example of rising above limitations. Could’ve done with some judicious editing, but hard to not connect with the authors voice.

  • Jesustown

    By Paul Daley
    2 stars

    Bit of a slow burn. Irritated with the numty main character - open your eyes, mate!

  • Fourth Wing

    By Rebecca Yarros
    4 stars

    Dragon Fantasy - can’t believe I read it, def not my genre. However, I thought the characterisations were sound. I could see how people could get hooked into this series. Kinda interested to see what happens in the next instalment - I’ll probably ask a student or wait for the next long Term break.

  • Prima Facie

    By Susie Miller
    4 stars

    A ‘hunter becomes the hunted’ legal drama. Bit of a “me too” moment for the legal profession. Quite confronting but a page turner. Great writing.

    By Claire Keegan
    4 stars

    Short, bittersweet, poetic, moral.

  • Better the Blood

    By Michael Bennett
