  • Pātea Boys

    By Airana Ngarewa
    5 stars

    A series of beautifully written interconnected short stories about growing up. The crafting of language was gorgeous.

  • Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow

    By Jessica Townsend
    4 stars

    A fun read

  • Richard Osman

    By The Impossible Fortune
    4 stars

    I love this series and decided to reread this latest one as I think when I read it this when I first read it earlier the year I rushed through it. In fact I had missed whole plot points!

  • The Astronaut Wives Club

    By Lily Koppel
    5 stars

    They say that behind every man is a good woman. This book is a fascinating exploration of how it was only with the support of their long suffering wives that America’s space race was able to succeed.

  • Everything is Tuberculosis

    By John Green
    5 stars

    A very different but fascinating read from John Green.

  • It’s Trevor Noah: Born a Crime

    By Trevor Noah
    4 stars

    I wanted to read the full autobiography but could only get hold of this version for younger readers. While it was still interesting, it felt like a little of details were missing and left me wanting more.

  • Evil Bones

    By Kathy Reichs
    3 stars

    I have read all of the books in this series and have to say that unfortunately this one was disappointing. There were editing issues and the ending was just too fast and a little unclear.

  • The Names

    By Florence Knapp
    5 stars

    I could not put this book down! Would your life be different if you had been given a different name? When Cora has to decide on a name for her son she has three different names to choose from - Bear/ Julian/ Gordon. Knapp presents three alternative versions of his life.

  • Coyote Hills

    By Jonathon and Jesse Kellerman
    4 stars

    Another Clay Edison whodunnit from the father and son. An easy read and perhaps one of the better ones in the series.

  • Babel

    By R. F. Kuang
    4 stars

    An exploration of colonisation and the idea that it is those who control language who have power.

  • The Dream Sleepers and Other Stories

    By Patricia Gace
    4 stars

    I particularly liked the story Journey.

  • Invisible Women: Exposing data bias in a world designed for men

    By Caroline Criado Perez
    4 stars

    Although woman make up 50% of the population they are often left out of decision making, the design process and the political process. This book explores the serious consequences of ignoring women’s voices and experiences. As Perez points out all they “needed to do was to ask women”.

  • A Christmas Carol

    By Charles Dickens
    5 stars

    A timely reminder about the value of kindness and goodwill at this (and any time) of the year.

  • Frankenstein

    By Mary Shelley
    5 stars

    Who is the real monster? The one who creates the creature and then abandons it? Or the creature who learns to hate because of the way it has been treated?

  • No Words For This

    By Ali Mau
    4 stars

    An interesting read.

  • The 113th Library Assistant: Lost in a Book

    By Stuart Wilson
    4 stars

    A good sequel. I like the idea of books literally being able to transport you to places not just metaphorically.
