  • Niu Voices

    By Multiple
    4 stars

    A wonderful anthology of Pacific writing. I’ll definitely be using some of these texts with my classes.

  • The Boy Who Lived

    By David Holmes
    4 stars

    An interesting story about Daniel Radcliffe’s stunt double who was seriously injured during the filming of the series. It’s the story of his journey from learning to live a life completely different from that he imagined.

  • In Want of a Suspect

    By Tirzah Price
    4 stars

    Another story in Price’s revisioning of Jane Austen’s books as murder mysteries. A fun easy read.

  • Manslaughter Park

    By Tirzah Price
    3 stars

    Jane Austen meets murder mystery meets queer fiction. Fanny Price gets an even more rewarding ending than in the original novel.

  • Sense and Second-Degree Murder

    By Tirzah Price
    3 stars

    In which the Dashwood sisters become private detectives. A fun way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

  • Tonight I Burn

    By Katherine J. Adams
    4 stars

    My sixteen year old niece reminded me about this NZ book awards for kids nominated book that was on both of our to read lists. While I liked the concept, there was almost too much going on. However, we will be adding the sequel to our to read lists.

  • Pride and Premeditation

    By Tirzah Price
    4 stars

    Lizzy Bennett and Mr Darcy as training barristers for competing firms in 1810s London. An enjoyable and easy read.

  • Unreel

    By Diana Wichtel
    4 stars

    While Wichtel’s biography is fascinating, I struggled with her writing style at times. However, I’m pleased I persevered and finished this.

  • The Secret Society of Salzburg

    By Renee Ryan
    3 stars

    An easy read about a group of women helping to rescue Jewish children from Nazi occupied Austria.

  • Greta & Valdin

    By Rebecca K Reilly
    4 stars

    I loved this story about siblings both finding themselves and finding love. I would have given it five stars but I wanted just a little more detail at the end.

  • The Life Impossible

    By Matt Haig
    4 stars

    A great read.

  • The Price of Life

    By Jenny Kleeman
    4 stars

  • Greatest Nobodies

    By Adrian Bliss
    3 stars

    I was expecting this book to be a little more serious but ultimately enjoyed the humour. Imagine being Henry VIII’s toilet buddy!

  • The Players

    By Minette Walters
    3 stars

    An enjoyable holiday read about a time in history I hadn’t read much about.

  • Everest Rising

    By M.D. Kambic
    2 stars

    A slightly bizarre premise that just got odder as it went on.

  • Tu

    By Patricia Grace
    5 stars

    I had never read this but had always wanted to. I’m so pleased I finally have. I think it’s one of the best books I read in 2024.

  • The Mires

    By Tina Makereti
    4 stars

    One of my favourite books of the summer. I have raved about this to my department and now most of them have added it to their reading lists.

  • The Book of Lost Names

    By Kristin Harmel
    3 stars

    A story of survival about making sure that while some will do anything to destroy an entire race, there are always others who will fight back.

  • West with Giraffes

    By Lynda Rutledge
    4 stars

    While it initially appears to be a story about transporting two giraffes across the US, it’s actually a coming of age journey about a protagonist with a secret he has to come to terms with. I didn’t know much about the dust bowl prior to reading this and have developed a greater appreciation of how much of a struggle it must have been been for those who had to do anything to survive.

  • The Paris Enigma

    By Pablo De Santis
    3 stars

    An interesting murder mystery set during the Paris great fair.
