This is my latest children’s book illustrated by the wonderful @adelespencil.bsky.social. Once again Fanshaw narrates the funny, rewarding, and highly skilled antics of an RNZAF squadron in the 70s to the 90s. #HenryFanshaw #75Squadron #NZAuthor #RNZAF

I’m not normally attracted to crime thrillers, but this was an our book club selection. It’s well written and I was compelled to read to the last page but I really didn’t enjoy the content. Very dark. I need to read something light now.

On Christmas Day my husband introduced me to a new author (to me anyway) @emmadonoghue.bsky.social. Now I’m looking for more of her work. Great story-perfectly paced & worthy of being my first book finished in 2024. PS when I say introduced, he chose it based on the cover blurb! #LearnedByHeart
