We thought our readers would also like to know what our booksellers have been reading over their summer. Hopefully there might be some new names and titles to interest you.
Jenny - Baumgartner by Paul Austen and Friends: Understanding the Power of Our Most Important Relationships by Robin Dunbar.
Sally - The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store by James McBride, The Postcard by Anne Berest and Killers of the Flower Moon by David Grann.
Sarah - YA Fiction : Heartstopper 5 by Alice Oseman and Divine Rivals by Rebecca Ross.
Esther - Gathering Moss by Robin Wall-Kimmerer, The Flow by Amy-Jane Beer and Patricia Grace’s novel Tu.
Sienna - The Covenant of Water by Abraham Verghese.
Caroline - The Bee Sting by Paul Murray, The Wager by David Grann.
Along with good reads we have also been listening to podcasts and RNZ in January. Here are two very interesting interviews: First, Witi Ihimaera remembering his first book Pounamu Pounamu and how this went on to be a classic, much read and studied in schools, and an inspiration to many Aotearoa writers.
Also fascinating was a New York Times Book Review interview with Stephen Sonderbergh on his Year of Reading.
