Sprigs

By Brannavan Gnanalingam

5 stars
Nine Girls

By Stacy Gregg

5 stars

Has a whiff of Wimpy Kid about it. Awesome.
The Deadly Sky

By David Hill

3 stars

Mururoa was just a name, a vague association with nuclear testing for me, so I liked learning about it. And fiction makes the events much easier to retain! I liked how the author made comparisons with WW2 but overall it was it bit slow.
The Anxious Generation

By Jonathan Haidt

5 stars

Evolution, psychology, sociology, & social commentary all backed up by hard data. Loved it.
Fluke: Chance, Chaos, and Why Everything We Do Matters

By Brian Klaas

3 stars

Interesting blend of philosophy & psychology. A great line on p.63 sums up much of the book, "In a world driven by a sense that deliberate optimization is always the route to progress, sometimes the contingent accidents are the ones that most inspire and improve our lives."
We Burn Daylight

By Bret Anthony Johnston

His Favourite Graves

By Paul Cleave

3 stars

3.5 stars. A disturbing & twisty thriller set in small town USA. Cleave wrote this just after writing the screenplay for The Cleaner, which has a similar vibe.
We Do Not Welcome Our Ten-Year-Old Overlord

By Garth Nix

3 stars

An otherworldly sphere plays havoc in small town, 1970s Australia. Reminiscent of Stranger Things, but also really original. The 4 kids are well formed & have a nice dynamic. Intermediate age.
Red Rocks

By Rachael King

3 stars
How It All Ends

By Emma Hunsinger

4 stars

Graphic novel about Tara, who skips ahead a year level & goes to high school early. Really sweet story & the characters felt authentic.
All That We Know

By Shilo Kino

4 stars

Can't say I enjoyed it, but I'm not the the target market. I can appreciate that it is cleverly written & thought provoking though
Remember Me

By Charity Norman

4 stars

Slow burn mystery. Well written. Great characterization. If you like Jane Harper, give this a try.
Supercommunicators

By Charles Duhigg

4 stars

Pop psychology. Better than expected. Like Malcolm Gladwell.
The Mess of Our Lives

By Mary-anne Scott

4 stars
The Tomo

By Mary-anne Scott

By Dolen Perkins-Valdez

Set in 1970s America, this is the fictionalized account of two young, black girls who were involuntarily sterilized, & the resulting court case.
