Mana

By Tame Iti

4 stars
The Love Haters

By Katherine Center

4 stars

I liked how this book was just as much about learning to love yourself as it was about loving someone else.
Lola In The Mirror

By Trent Dalton

5 stars
Re-Storying Education. Decolonizing your practice using a critical lens

By Carolyn Roberts

5 stars

Accessible read that is applicable to practise in Aotearoa, not just in Canada
Sister Stardust

By Jane Green

4 stars

Based loosely on some true events, I found this an interesting look into the 1960s if you were famous, connected or lucky.
Peppa Pig: Peppa's Best Sleepover

By None

1 stars

Peppa Pig is marginally less irritating in this story than normal, hence the one star.
Into the River

By Ted Dawe

3 stars

I enjoyed this book, but the way it started was very disconnected to how it ended. The blurb talks about utu, but this idea doesn't really connect throughout the book. It is more of a story about the way in which many feel forced to abandon their Māoritanga in order to survive, and how we grow into ourselves or out of ourselves.
Privilege in Perpetuity: exploding a pākehā myth

Hera

Girl in Between

By Anna Daniels

2 stars

Easy read but lacks any substance. The two love interests have no chemistry and one declared their love with over 200 pages to go. Main character was a bit pathetic, might have been a realistic character but made for an irritating read. Kept wondering if I should stop reading it, but the pull of points kept me going.
This Pākehā Life, and unsettled memoir

By Alison Jones

4 stars
Bridge of Clay

By Markus Zusak

A History of British Baking

By Emma Kay

2 stars

Some interesting tidbits, but overall this book was in desperate need of an editor. Typos and incomplete sentences were consistent enough to be distracting, while odd segue between topics felt disjointed.
Mothering Heights

By Rachael Mogan McIntosh

4 stars

A relatable memoir of being in the trenches of motherhood.
