June in Books - 8 books and 2 audiobooks. A brilliant lineup topped by the audiobook Hine Toa, read by Ngāhuia te Awekotuku herself. Other standouts - the bitchily compelling Erotic Vagrancy and the horrendous scenario of Nuclear War. (Plus My fave thing is Monsters book 2 & half of Butter(

"I do not think that the novel is likely to have a wide appeal in Te Awamutu, but it is one, that should be read by all readers who like to be up-to-date in their reading."

1984 by George Orwell turns 75 tomorrow. I found the best review of it in the Te Awamutu Courier, 21 October 1949. paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/T... "Mr Orbell (sic) has etched with skill and vigour a picture that makes the writer, at least, glad that he is not likely to be alive in 1984."

If you've ever wondered why there are always some open bananas beside the Triton Dairy in Colombo Street, Sydenham - it is so the birds will go for them, instead of the ones for sale.
