If you didn't buy Baby in 2017/2018, now is your chance to get it half price! A sunburnt psychological thriller of obsession and escape that Eleanor Catton called ‘Heavenly Creatures for a new generation.'

Whanau's critics expose themselves: misogynistic slurs, mockery of Māori heritage, mental health ridicule, sexualisation, & conspiracy theories. This isn't "political criticism". It's a toxic intersection of racism and sexism that esp. targets wāhine Māori, & there too, those in Green Party more.

This February, we saw a 275% increase in new Libro.fm memberships compared to February 2024.

More and more individuals are choosing to support their independent bookshop—and their local communities—over Amazon/Audible. Thank you for supporting your indie with us ❤️

Hi, just a reminder that when you use Libro.fm for your audiobooks, you support independent bookshops vs. large corporations that drive them out of business.

We also pay taxes. And so do indie bookshops.

Gaza

The dead boy tries to open his eyes.
He wants to see the world he is leaving.
But there is nothing to see here,
nothing and nothing, and anyway he is gone.
His parents held him while he died
but they are both dead, too.
Or he held them, no one remembers.
