So thrilling to see ASH making a list like this. I think a lot is owed to the incredible booksellers around the country, including Unity Books Wgtn, UBS Otago, Scorpio ChCh and Wardini HB, who have all been giving ASH lots of love. Thank you! 🧡 newsroom.co.nz/2024/05/17/t...

Happiest of publication days to ASH, the much-anticipated first novel by @louisewallace.bsky.social. This little gem of a book hits bookshops across NZ today and we couldn't be more excited to see it out in the world.

Age yourself with a movie you saw in the theatre as a kid. *Kid/teenager —> Audible lusty sigh from the theatre full of Gisborne Girls’ High School English students when Leo came on the screen 😂🥵

Freelancers/creatives My Christmas present to myself is setting up an out-of-office for my email (even though i do not have an *employer* per se). Takes the heat off when you are trying to have a break - you are allowed rest too! 💚

This was my favourite though. Most typographers who set poetry will know.

Dunedinites (though nationwide delivery also available at cost) - my son’s amazing school is currently running their big fundraiser this year - an online art auction, open until 13 Nov. If you need something cool for your walls please take a look! app.galabid.com/macbay23

I reckon that would be good! If the author in question wants that of course? Saves authors the hassle (i think there are less hoops for publishers to get books listed) - if THWUP doesn’t mind the time expenditure of course!
