The Things We Never Say

ShirlThe Things We Never Say completely won me over! Elizabeth Strout’s writing is as beautiful as ever and Artie Dam is a character I won’t forget anytime soon. This is one of those books that makes you wonder how your own life might have changed if you’d crossed paths with someone like Artie. I especially loved the classroom scenes and his interactions with his students, as well as the quietly evolving relationship with his son Rob. It’s a thoughtful novel reminding you of the quiet impact one person can have on the lives around them. I can't wait for everyone to meet Artie Dam!

The Valley

LizzyI was expecting this book to be dense and hard work and it may well be my favourite read of 2026. Over the course of several years lawyer trained journalist, Asher, spends many many hours experiencing the ins and out of the criminal court system in the Hutt Valley. What follows is the most incredibly thorough account of three men, two who are struggling to stay out of prison, and one who is struggling to keep them out. Asher uses this close witnessing of these men to explore what isn't working with our criminal justice system. What I loved is that it is clear almost everyone is doing their best, but the system itself and the lack of funding and resourcing is the biggest issue. It's an incredibly...

London Falling

I was gripped from the first chapter. Although a non-fiction which is normally outside of my wheelhouse, the sense of story telling and atmosphere is better than anything I’ve read in recent fiction! This is a gripping, sad and pensive tale, leading to questions about values, priorities, the corruptive power of wealth and the potential evils of social media. Emotional, driven by a powerful and urgent narrative, I can’t recommend this book enough. An absolute must read, and I hope a read that leaves a lasting impression and a legacy of change on us all.

The Modern Dad

A love letter to modern fatherhood and being a stay-at-home dad by one of NZ's most popular storytellers. Louis Davis (Ngāpuhi, Ngāti Whātua) is one of Aotearoa's most popular storytellers, with a combined global audience of three million people tuning in to see his heartfelt and funny videos about fatherhood, fishing, and whānau life. But even with three young childrenβ€”and a fourth on the way!β€”Louis says his life as a stay-at-home dad is far from a model of perfect parenting: like everyone else, he can often feel like he's making it up along the way.

No Pit Stops

DylanI'm looking forward to reading this one! Grant is a positive personality that has built up some iconic NZ businesses including 42 Below and Turners cars. He lives life to the full and has championed the next generation including Kiwi F1 driver Liam Lawson. Awesome that Grant has chosen to share his personal story, the highs and lows, and hopefully inspire the next generation of Kiwi entrepreneurs to take risk and pursue their dreams.
