  • Silo

    By Hugh Howey
    5 stars

    Great novel, full of suspense! I will certainly be reading the rest of the trilogy.

  • Children of the Furnace

    By Brin Murray
    5 stars

    A post-apocalyptic, young adult adventure story by a New Zealand author. Gripping, exciting and character-driven. I can't wait to read the sequel, Crosstrees.

  • Land of Snow and Ashes

    By Petra Rautiainen
    4 stars

    Part history and part mystery, this novel is set in Finland during the Second World War. I learned a lot. Translated from Finnish and cleverly narrated by two narrators in two timelines.

  • The Messenger

    By Markus Zusak
    5 stars

    Dead weird and really memorable. I loved this book. "The gunman, is useless."

  • The Rest of the Story

    By Sarah Dessen
    4 stars

    Strong characters and an intriguing story. I really enjoyed this young adult novel. A teenage girl reconnects with her mother's side of the family, learning about her past and herself in the process.

  • Second Chance

    By Jane Green
    3 stars

    The blurb calls it 'a life-affirming tale of friendship and fate'. I would characterise it more as 400 pages of women complaining about their lives - not very uplifting... I did want to find out what happened to them all though.

  • Five Children on the Western Front

    By Kate Saunders
    5 stars

    A sequel to Edith Nesbit's 'Five Children and It' novels. This book is so good. Thoroughly recommend it.

  • Go Girl: A Storybook of Epic NZ Women

    By Barbara Else
    4 stars

    I love the artwork in this book. Short vignettes for young readers about important New Zealand women.

  • D (A Tale of Two Worlds)

    By Michel Faber
    5 stars

    "Glorious," proclaims Neil Gaiman on the cover. I couldn't agree more! Wildly inventive and clever. A genuine page-turner and a tribute to the works of Charles Dickens. Join the plucky heroine, Dhikilo, on her fantastic quest to set the world to rights and save the letter d.
