It's the anniversary of my liberation from the womb, and I got sent a copy of my super mulitalented cousin's #pukapuka - Terri Te Tau. Yaaaaay Terri!
Has anyone read it yet?

First review of my novel Mincemeat up on Goodreads – short but sweet.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

📚 #NZ #pukapuka Upcoming book ⬇️

#booksky #pukapuka 💙📚🇳🇿 trying a different genre than I’d usually read. Scientist find ancient body in bog for study, developers vs environmentalists. The cover art on this is just lovely too.

Well it has been quite a week at our place. Someone crashed into a power pole close to us so we had no power til about 1am this morning. So no reading for me last night! #pukapuka
Annnnd someone abandoned a stolen car halfway up our driveway between our place and the neighbours.

#booksky #pukapuka 💙📚🇳🇿 couldn’t finish last 2 books so I thought I’d give myself a win with a short book… why oh why did it have to be this one? Body horror and extremely gruesome, violent - I will not be reading the sequel.

#booksky #pukapuka 💙📚🇳🇿 gonna give this one a go and see if it’s my jam.

#booksky #pukapuka 💙📚🇳🇿 @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social has done such a good job advertising his books that I’ve picked one to see what all the fuss is about. Cats incl because he likes cats, mine were being uncooperative

#booksky #pukapuka 💙📚🇳🇿 described as “genuinely eerie” by Rachel Harrison. Came across this book by accident @talkscaredpod.bsky.social

New New New this week!
Plenty of exciting new titles winging their way to your libraries - Chris Tse, Jon Toogood, Paul Cleave, mountaineers, shoegaze, Barbara Cartland and MORE. my.christchurchcitylibraries.com/new-titles/#... #pukapukahou #pukapuka

Library run today, and many thanks to @neglectedbooks.com for pointing me towards MAKESHIFT by Sarah Campion - who long residence (primarily) in New Zealand more than qualifies her as a local author in my book(shelves). #BookSky #pukapuka

#nzpol 🇳🇿 #pukapuka 📚🇳🇿 it wasn’t even on the shelves yet, it’d only just arrived at the shop and was sitting out back. Now it’s sitting in my living room 😀

#Booksky #Pukapuka 💙📚🇳🇿 the librarians had placed this one so it caught the eye, catch my eye it did! It seemed to have good ratings, I love the name Frank and the story seemed ‘cute’ so I grabbed it. The House of Frank by Kay Synclaire - it’s time for a little magic.

#booksky #pukapuka 💙📚🇳🇿 I put this on my TBR ages ago because I think I liked the cover design and the title…. I’m completely shallow. The librarian keeps finding bodies…..mix between Buffy the vampire slayer and Murder She Wrote … I’m in! Give me some whimsy
