  • The Priory of the Orange Tree

    5 stars

  • Yellowface

    By R.F. Kuang
    5 stars

    I read Babel earlier this year and loved it! Yellowface is set in a very different context in the modern world but covers similar and very topical themes of culture, race, and loneliness. Very thought provoking and gripping!

  • Under the Mountain

    By Maurice Gee
    2 stars

    A student in my whanau class gave me this for Christmas! Whilst I found it oversimplified I can see the appeal as a children’s book and it was cool to read something set in Auckland with familiar locations!

  • Intermezzo

    By Sally Rooney
    4 stars

    I found it harder to get into this one in comparison to her other books. Part of it was written more as a train of thought; it reminded me a bit of Ali Smith’s How to be Both. Whilst it required more concentration it is amazing to see Rooney’s writing continue to evolve. Overall, a very emotional and powerful story!
