  • Kiwi bees have tiny knees

    By Rachel Weston
    4 stars

    I didn't know NZ had native bees and that they are so tiny.

  • Kindness The Little Thing that matters most

    By Jaime Thurston
    3 stars

    Ideas for actioning kindness in everyday life.

  • Kataraina

    By Becky Manawatu
    4 stars

    Great sequel. I like the ancestral connection in the story. The text flitting between time sequences kept me on my toes.

  • The Rabbit Effect

    By Kelli Harding
    3 stars

    This American based book (written in 2019) surprised me in describing the narrow emphasis on biomedicine in the US and the author purporting a preventive and holistic look at medicine which Eastern doctors have known for hundreds of years.

  • Breath

    By James Nestor
    4 stars

    Made me really think about the art of breathing well. From India and China many, many years ago - breathing well and its benefits were recorded and then seem to have been forgotten

  • Love for imperfect things

    By Saenim Sunim
    5 stars

    This is a repeated reading from earlier in the year. I find this book very comforting and full of wise words.

  • The Stress Solution

    By Dr Rangan Chatterjee
    4 stars

    Good practical advice for steps to reducing your stress levels.

  • The two most important days

    By Sanjiv Chopra and Gina Vild
    4 stars

    Practical tips for living life with purpose

  • Gratitude

    By Oliver Sacks
    4 stars

    A positive set of essays of end of life gratitude

  • Darling Girls

    By Sally Hepworth
    4 stars

    Having just read an article in The Press about a care home - this had very similar themes but I love the twist at the end

  • Welcome to the Hyunam -dong bookshop

    By Hwang Bo-Reum
    3 stars

    Very slow burning - almost too slow for me. But I perservered and the gems at the end do provide food for thought
