  • Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

    By JK Rowling
    5 stars

    I read this aloud to my daughter and she loved it as much as I did the first time I read it. My favourite HP novel as it describes so many aspects of the wizarding world.

  • The Lost Man

    By Jane Harper
    4 stars

    Took a while to get into it, as the protagonist is a gruff outback farmer who is slow to release information on his family's past. However, once you get going, it's a good mystery with lots of layers, red herrings to throw you off, and shady characters with lots to hide.

  • Treasure and Dirt

    By Chris Hammer
    3 stars

    Still a good mystery crime thriller, but my least fav of Hammer's books so far.

  • The Tilt

    By Chris Hammer
    4 stars

    Good read. Clever and interesting how the plot was woven together, and like his other books you don't know who was responsible for the mystery until the end.

  • Silver

    By Chris Hammer
    5 stars

    My favourite Chris Hammer novel of the ones I've read. Quality crime mystery you don't figure out before he wants you to.

  • The Seven

    By Chris Hammer
    5 stars

    Great page turning Aussie crime novel. Easy read and captivating.

  • How to Loiter in a Turf War

    By Coco Solid
    4 stars

    I was a little slow on the bandwagon with this one. It came out a year ago and has been generally adored in English teacher communities. It didn't disappoint, sharing Māori and Pasifika perspectives on gentrification, casual racism and society overall. The narrative follows three artsy friends, Te Hoia, Q, and Rosina, a slice of life story dealing with daily life and growing up. A quick read, not conventionally written and enjoyable for teenagers and adults.

  • The Ferryman

    By Justin Cronin
    3 stars

    From the author of The Passage and The Twelve, this book starts strong drawing you into the narrative quickly. In the middle of the book, I got lost a few times as we're left pondering what's real and what Proctor is imagining, but things become clear at the end. Very different to his previous work, but enjoyable nonetheless.

  • The Year of the Locust

    By Terry Hayes
    2 stars

    Much anticipated next book from I Am Pilgrim author Terry Hayes. The first half is good, though not quite as captivating as Pilgrim. The book sadly goes downhill from there, and I was angry and disappointed that Hayes decided to take it in the direction he did. I wanted a good spy novel, this was something else, warping between genres, cliches and definitely jumps the shark.
