Very open to recommendations!

Unreliable narrators
Some are a mix of different genres, but all have a definite case of unreliable narrator, which makes everything very interesting.

Xenofiction (animal POV)
A collection of novels that step outside the human perspective, inviting readers into the minds of animals. From intimate character studies to unsettling psychological tales, these stories use animal narrators to explore grief, survival, morality, and what it really means to be human.

Aotearoa New Zealand on the Page
Whether it be the authors, the characters, the setting, or the country itself, these books are some of the essential reads of Aotearoa New Zealand. Fiction to nonfiction, prose to poetry, the stories of our people and our land are here. This list is ever-growing, and I will continue to add to it as I read more pukapuka from our shores.
