  • The lion the witch and the wardrobe

    By C S Lewis
    5 stars

    A classic story that I loved as a child (and continue to love). Shared this as an audiobook with my boys during our Christmas and New Year road trips.

  • Too soon old, Too Late Smart

    By Gordon Livingston
    4 stars

    I saw this book at an Air BNB we stayed in. After reading the first two chapters I felt compelled to read more. Lots of thoughtful and interesting ideas and 'lessons'. I'll explore more of what he has written.

  • Gravity let me go

    By Trent Dalton
    4 stars

    Really enjoyed this one. Quite different from my previous experience reading Trent Dalton. Funny, had me quickly turning pages to the ending.

  • There is no wall

    By Allie Bailey
    4 stars

    Read an audiobook that I had listened to. Really enjoyed it.

  • The Pōrangi Boy

    By Shilo Kino
    5 stars

    A great young adult read. Positive themes of having a voice, standing up for what you believe in, loyalty to family and friends and lots of local humour and references.

  • Cuz

    By Liz Van Der Laarse
    3 stars

    Advertised as New Zealand's version of Hatchet (which was one of my favourite books growing up). This book is fast paced, an easy read and has lots of Te Reo interwoven. Will pass this on to my eldest son (11) to read.

  • The Ocean at the End of the Lane

    By Neil Gaiman
    3 stars

    A short but enjoyable novel. A story that is equally magical and unsettling.

  • Nemesis

    By Gregg Hurwitz
    4 stars

    The latest book in a series I've enjoyed.
