  • Then there was you

    By Kara Isaac
    5 stars

    Lovely story set in Sydney with a side trip to NZ. The main character is dealing with grief and loss and trying to recover from the effects of the Christchurch earthquake. While it is a novel there were many elements that were factual.

  • A Villa with a View

    4 stars

  • Pinot and Puha

    By Nikki Perry and Kristy Roby
    5 stars

    Cute! Nice to read a story set in Wellington, NZ. The main character was setting up a new bookstore and it follows the challenges and hurdles she has to work through, it has a slightly sad ending but leaves you with hope for a new beginning.

  • New Beginnings at the Old Bakehouse

    By Christie Barlow
    5 stars

    Cute easy read.

  • The Last Light Over Oslo

    By Alix Rickloff
    5 stars

    Great historical novel, the characters were well developed and the challenges they faced were well described. I loved that it was based on a true story about a female US minister to Norway who was stationed in Oslo in 1940. It gave interesting insight into the beginnings of the war and the struggles they had to overcome to stay safe. Well worth reading!

  • The Christmas Bookshop

    By Jenny Colgan
    4 stars

    This is a lovely story about two sisters navigating life and figuring out how to support each other. There is also the element of saving a bookshop before Christmas. And finding love as well. The children in the story were special characters too, I could definitely imagine them in real life! It was a very nice book to read, especially in the lead up to Christmas.

  • True Colours

    By Kristin Hannah
    5 stars

    Great story, kept me hooked from the beginning. Nice to have a semi happy ending for the characters as well.
