Aotearoa NZ: Living Here Lately
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!

Postgraduate Book Club Spoopy Recs
Whether you are a horror lover, a thriller fanatic, a psychological suspense connoisseur, or you would rather something lighter for your October reads like a cosy fantasy or a comedic murder mystery, the PG Book Club has you sorted! Here you will find fiction recommendations across a broad range of genres, and maybe even a new favourite to share with your friends and family.






Crime Thrillers to Die For
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.
