Mom's busy work

By Jacinda Adern

2 stars

Told from Neve's perspective. I like that a $3 donation is made to the Kindness Collective for every copy sold.
A different kind of power

By Jacinda Adern

5 stars

A Different Kind of Power is more than a political memoir; it’s an insight into how it feels to lead, ultimately asking: What if you, too, are capable of more than you ever imagined?
Billy and Old Smoko

By Jack Lasenby

4 stars

A great read aloud
Toi te Mana:An indigenous history of Māori art.

By Deidre Brown & Ngarino Ellis

5 stars

Bought as a gift that I had to read first. Amazing. Toitū te whenua, toitū te tikanga, ka ora ngā toi. When we hold fast to our land and values, our art flourishes
Aunt Effie and the Island that Sank

By Jack Lasenby

5 stars

Silly, funny and my mokopuna loved it.
The Parihaka Woman

By Witi Ihimaera

Aunt Effie

By Jack Lasenby

4 stars

Kāwai: For such a time as this

By Monty Soutar

5 stars

Loved it. Historical adventure tells the story of pre-colonial Aotearoa.
Mezzaluna

By Michele Leggott

4 stars

Poetry. New Zealand life, family, history, the interplay of real and surreal, and the act of remaking the world through words.
Tirama, Tirama, Whetu Riki e

By Translated Piripi Walker

5 stars

Love it. Ruru delivers mail to the other manu. My mokopuna read and sing this all the time
Debatable Land

By Candida McWilliam

2 stars

Six disparate individuals—including a painter, a skipper, and his wife—are on a yacht called Ardent Spirit, sailing from Tahiti to New Zealand. A little too much self analysis for me.
The Hairy Maclary Treasury

By Lynley Dodd

5 stars

A collection of Hairy Maclary stories. Great read aloud with mokopuna
Always Italicise: How to write while colonised

By Alice Te Punga Somerville

5 stars

In her first book of poetry, Māori scholar and poet Alice Te Punga Somerville does just that. In wit and anger, sadness and aroha, she reflects on ‘how to write while colonised’ – how to write in English as a Māori writer; how to trace links between Aotearoa and wider Pacific, Indigenous and colonial worlds; how to be the only Māori person in a workplace; and how – and why – to do the mahi anyway.
The Bakehouse

By Joy Cowley

4 stars

Good read. Told by Bert as an old man reflecting on his life as a child in Wellington during the war and how that impacted on his life.
A Beautiful Disguise

By Roseanna M White

4 stars

Left with an estate on the brink of bankruptcy after their father's death, Lady Marigold Fairfax and her brother open a private investigation firm marketed to the elite . . . to spy on the elite. Dubbed The Imposters, Ltd., their anonymous group soon becomes the go-to for the crème of society when they want answers delivered surreptitiously.
Marinoto Resource Book

By Health NZ

3 stars

Very informative. Tips for writing referrals. User friendly
A Dream of Death

By Connie Berry

3 stars

This is a murder mystery series with historical elements. A delightful Scottish mystery written by Connie Berry. The main character Kate Hamilton solves a killing that eerily replicates a murder still unsolved after 200 years.
