Where the Rēkohu Bone Sings

By Tina Makereti

5 stars

A challenging and read presenting complex emotions with no clear indication on how to navigate them. A bit like life.
Bird Life

By Anna Smaill

4 stars

Slow, surreal, with a quality akin to an old black and white film. Primarily a beautiful and poetic exploration of coping with grief, loss and mental illness.
The Rope of Man

By With Ihimaera

4 stars

Book 1, which I read as "Tangi" some years ago, is absolutely standout. While the second half of the book is good, it's in my opinion not as emotionally intense or culturally interesting than Tangi.
Lavinia

By Ursula Le Guin

3 stars

Interesting, certainly made the amount of times I thought about the Roman Empire rise significantly above baseline.
No One Writes To The Colonel

By Gabriel Garcia Marquez

2 stars

Just not really my thing I guess.
Lessons in Chemistry

By Bonnie Garmus

5 stars

Absolutely couldn't put this book down. Excellent holiday reading, highly recommend.
Good Morning, Midnight

By Lily Brooks-Dalton

4 stars

If I'd watched this as a movie starring George Clooney I would probably have hated it. But the book was a big muddle of wobbly feelings and unrealised futures and I loved it. Not for those who like knowing things for certain.
Cannery Row

By John Steinbeck

4 stars

Very enjoyable look at impoverished communities in mid-Century USA. Might fetishize poverty a bit, but I don't think that should be a surprise coming from Steinbeck. Still gritty at times, and outlines a beautiful, supportive and diverse community.
Audition

By Pip Adam

5 stars

Absolutely fantastic and memorable book. Balances a fine line between absolutely bizarre and absurd, and ideologically interesting and profound. I will read more of Pip Adam's.
Birnam Wood

By Eleanor Catton

4 stars

Finished this book yesterday and it hurts
