📚🇳🇿 I really enjoy all of Miriam Toews’ books. She often explores themes of mental health, Mennonite experiences, and family, both given and chosen. She also manages to be funny and serious without sacrificing either! Women Talking is quite different but v important. An author I’ll always read!

🇳🇿📚 Just finished this very good memoir. Young writer who interviews her dad, a rural GP. But it’s more than that and hopeful despite content.

📚🇳🇿 First book finished of 2024. Exceptional. Beautifully written with compassion and “lightness” despite heavy historical context. Highly recommend.

📚🇳🇿 Also started this excellent book of short stories. I love having a book of ss or essays on the go so I can feel like I’ve achieved something by finishing one a day 🤣

Time for a fun, queer romp. I wanted something easy to read but I love it when “easy to read” also equates to heartfelt and genuine.

Finished this recently and feel conflicted. Some parts were so well written and smart and other parts felt contrived. It also should be marketed as a horror imho. Anyone else read it?

Finished this yesterday and loved it. Each book in this series has improved on the last and this has a compulsive plot and also genuine characters. Definitely heartbreaking too, proceed with caution.

Highly recommend donating blood or plasma so you can get free biscuits and KitKats and get immersed in a new book! This is the first J.P Pomare I’ve read.
