ECO HOME: Smart
Ideas for Sustainable
New Zealand Homes –
Melinda Williams
Loaded with photos of
NZ homes, this offers
everything you need to
know to build, renovate
or just live in an eco-
friendly and sustainable way. Moving from
room to room, it looks at structural materials,
furnishings and general life hacks to improve
your personal green-star rating. Also includes
principles of sustainable building, choosing
a property, building a team, foundations and
floors. A colourful must-have book – both
entertaining and informative.
FLOURISH: NZ Women
and Their Extraordinary
Gardens – Barb
Rogers; Juliet Nicholas
This celebrates women
responsible for some
of the most-admired
gardens in NZ.
Often starting as a hobby that had to fit
around child care and domestic tasks, their
gardens evolved into living works of art.
This sisterhood of gardeners share common
bonds – hard work and a passion for the
landscape – but also stories of combating
isolation and loss. Showcases both well-
known and ‘undiscovered’ gardens – country
rose gardens to inner city courtyard and
edible gardens.
THE LOST MAN – Jane Harper
The man lay still in the
centre of a dusty grave
under a monstrous-
unrelenting sun, in the
Queensland outback.
Two brothers meet at
the border of their vast
cattle properties and
discover their brother
Cameron’s body atop
the stockman’s grave. A landmark so old, no
one can remember who is buried there. The
family’s quiet existence is thrown into grief
and anguish. Something had been troubling
Cameron. Did he lose hope and walk to his
death? Because if he didn’t, the isolation
of the outback leaves few suspects. Harper
has once again created a powerful story of
suspense, set against a dazzling landscape.
Wine Trails: Australia and New Zealand –
Lonely Planet
Following the
success of Wine
Trails, Lonely
Planet suggests
“40 perfect
weekends”, with
the most interesting
vineyards in wine
regions near major cities in Australia and NZ.
Clare Valley, Margaret River, Hawkes Bay,
Tamar Valley and Marlborough are visited,
and itineraries include some hidden gems off
the beaten path.
Winemakers help you understand a place, its
people and traditions through the wine made
there. Features gorgeous photos and maps.
SAM HUNT: Off the
Road – Sam Hunt;
Colin Hogg
An off-the-road
biography of NZ’s
best-known poet.
Thirty years after
Hogg and Hunt
collaborated on the
now-legendary Angel Gear: Off the Road with
Sam Hunt, the pair decided to throw caution
to the wind to create an older, possibly wiser
twin. A wild, hilarious, no-holds-barred book
about the non-stop life of a man NZ thinks
it knows, until now. Part conversation, part
story-telling, part poems, it’s also a book
about friendship, solitude, love, death, self-
destruction and endurance. Includes photos.
HERO OF THE SEA: Sir Peter Blake’s Mighty
Ocean Quests –
David Hill; Phoebe
Morris (ill)
Sir Peter Blake’s
life was filled with
amazing adventures.
During his 30 year
career on the ocean,
he sailed around the globe, won the world’s
most famous races and broke records. Even
his red socks became a national sensation.
But no matter how many trophies Peter won,
he always knew the survival of our planet
was more important. This illustrated picture
book for young readers tells the remarkable
story of a true Kiwi hero.

A SPARK OF LIGHT – Jodi Picoult
At Mississippi’s sole remaining women’s
reproductive services clinic, a gunman
bursts in and takes
patients and staff
hostage. Reasons
these individuals
came to the clinic
vary, from a woman
awaiting cancer
screening results, to
a protestor hoping to
catch the clinic in a
scandal. The hostage
negotiator’s daughter is also trapped inside,
and the gunman himself.
Meanwhile, across the state, a 17-year-
old lands in the hospital after an attempt
to self-terminate her pregnancy, and is
subsequently charged by the pro-life DA for
the murder of her unborn child. They, too, are
connected to events unfolding in the clinic.
