Upside to my sick day… read all of The Widows’ Guide to Backstabbing by my lovely friend (and #NZauthor) Amanda Ashby. Loved it… it’s got an English village, great characters, sewing, baking and murder!! 🧵🪡✂️🍰🧁🔪🩸

Good news for writers of #pukapuka #aonzbooks #aotearoabooks #nzbooks #booksnz. Minister Van Velden has listened to commonsense advice and is making small but positive changes to NZ Public Lending Right payment scheme. Not a pay increase but more flexibility.

#Books of Frances Hodgson Burnett (1849 - 1924) like A Secret Garden, Little Lord Fauntleroy (from 1885), and A Little Princess (1905), present servants and poor people favorably. Her own life wasn't easy. She wrote what she knew but with happier endings. #booksNZ

Many #InfluentialBooks from UK with a few from USA. Many I know of, a few I own, and even fewer read. The category is #NonFiction but too few recipe books or gardening books. #books #booksnz

More than half my list of influential books are ones I read as a child. I still read them now so they're (theoretically) adult books too. Many themes and elements from those books are still important to me. #booksnz
