Recs if you like Dead Girl Gone (The Bookshop Detectives #1)...

Haere Mai, welcome! Here you will find a non-exhaustive list of modern literature that evokes the feeling of what it is like to live in Aotearoa New Zealand today.

All books here are written by New Zealanders and set in modern time New Zealand (or a fictionalised version of).

Very open to recommendations!

Southern Hemisphere reads!! we will be running an unofficial SH season readalong, and our Spring readalong book is Wale Rider (1/9-30/11)! this is for any books written by SH authors, especially those set here, so pop your fav recs in the comments 😁 (i haven't read all of these! so double check content warnings if you need to)

All about books, bookstores, bookshops, bookclubs, libraries, writers, readers - All things Books! Books! Books!

Oh, to be buried in a good book!

Books set in, by, or adapted in NZ

NZ books are underrated! I’d love to share our culture with the world ✨

These sinister, spine-tingling, sensational novels may be standalones or part of a deeper, darker series, but they are all phenomenal and well deserving of a shout-out. More will be added to this list as I come across them, and I am always open for book recs.
