The world around the corner

By Maurice Gee

5 stars

Another classic from my childhood that I read to my daughter. All the magic I remember as a child is still present and wonderful as an adult. A story of a secret world and a special pair of glasses in an otherwise ordinary world.
Place of Reeds

By Caitlin Davies

3 stars

An interesting account of an English woman who falls in love with a man from Botswana and moves there to live. All is rosy until its not and the culture clash is enough to drive her back to England after 15 years.
Why the whales came

By Michael Morpurgo

5 stars

I read this to my 8 year old. Loved this when I was a kid and so great to re read it. A story of making friends and believing in each other.
My side of the mountain

By Jean George

5 stars

I read this to my 6 year old. A wonderful story of running away and survival and being at one with nature.
About Grace

By Anthony Doerr

3 stars

Nowhere near as good as "all the light we cannot see" by the same author. Interesting characters and a strange plot that takes you from Alaska to St Vincent and inbetween.
The dress maker and the hidden soldier

By Doug Gold

4 stars

A bit simple to start but turned into an interesting read about WWII and a kiwi soldier's war love story.
Vesper Flichts

By Helen Macdonald

3 stars

Lots of great short essays on nature and science and birds with interesting facts and observations.
Dogside story

By Patricia Grace

5 stars

Brilliant, still can't stop thinking about all the vivid characters.
Potiki

By Patricia Grace

4 stars
Lessons in Chemistry

By Bonnie Garmus

4 stars

A nice quick read that makes you appreciate the freedoms that women have in science now compared to the 50s/60s
