Sharing the Sun

By Viggers, Stuart, Howden-Chapman (eds)

5 stars

This starts with a great overview of the history of electricity generation and regulation in Aotearoa. It then moves on to discuss distributed generation in theory before branching into case studies in both urban and rural areas. It finishes with a chapter on passive houses and an overview of the difficulties facing large scale distributed generation at the moment. A very interesting read.
For Duck's Sake

By Donna Andrews

5 stars

Meg Langslow continues to solve improbable mysteries in the lovely and festive town of Caerphilly. This time it is digging a new duck pond that is the catalyst for solving a thirty year old murder. There are all the regular shenanigans - this time Meg is busy organizing a Mutt March, to encourage the adoption of hundreds of dogs from local animal shelters, which makes for an interesting backdrop for the rest of the action.
Anakisha's Dragon

By Eileen Mueller

3 stars

Young adult Fantasy Fiction. Starts a bit slow but the pace picks up. This is the first book in a prequel series.
Operation Biting: The 1942 parachute assault to capture Hitler's RADAR

By Max Hastings

3 stars

A good review of the operation. However inconsistent editing leads to occasional annoyances in reading. Much time is spent early in the book discussing some of the personalities, but then we don't get to necessarily see much of what they ended up doing. Likewise, there is little conclusion about how important the actual outcome was (as opposed to the propaganda value).
OOTS: Dim Sun

By Rich Burlew

3 stars

A dark-sun alternate universe for the Order of the Stick
Death at the Dolphin

By Ngaio Marsh

3 stars

A bit slow paced. Read more like a romance than a detective story.
Slow down or die. The economics of Degrowth

By Timothee Parrique

4 stars

A full thought out, though distinctly Marxist leaning discussion of degrowth whys and hows. It covers a lot of the history of the degrowth movement along with its philosophy and politics, along with the economic and environmental necessity behind it.
Starter Villain

By John Scalzi

4 stars

This is a fun filled story of someone inheriting their uncle's villainous business. Lots of humour, a series of running gags with a coherent storyline behind it.
Bad Luck and Trouble

By Lee Child

3 stars

Standard Jack Reacher. Looks like it was the basis for one of the TV seasons. This volume sees Jack catch up with what has been happening to his team from the past.
