#booksky #pukapuka 💙📚🇳🇿 I read one piece of non-fiction per month minimum, this is my choice. @jonronson.bsky.social the blurb just seemed like it’d be a fun read. About male anxiety, manosphere And all that entails.

#booksky #pukapuka 💙📚🇳🇿 time for a thriller. @criminolly.bsky.social rated this one quite highly which is how I came to add it to my list. Billie wakes alone in a psychiatric ward. She’s told she’s the survivor of a tragic suicide group….

Aotearoa once grew 50+ kūmara varieties. Most supermarkets now stock two or three 🌱 RegEN’s Rob Small (Ngāpuhi) is changing that with Te Taonga o Ngā Kūmara, a pukapuka on 16 heritage varieties. First 200 copies sold out; get in line for the next print run. Read more: regen.aut.ac.nz/news/growing...
