Like quirky books with a puzzle? Then this is the book for you.
Strange pictures by Uketsu. A series of drawings and a puzzle that connects them. I loved it. It took me 3 days to read. Highly recommend it.

Absolutely loving this book. Set in early 1960s America, it's letters between a food writer in Washington State and a fan in California and friendship formed by ingredients. Read it, it's great. ##pukapuka #📚

This afternoon, I listened to the final two chapters of this amazing woman's book. Have to say the last 2 chapters did make my eyes water a bit. Thank you, JA, for your story and for making this country better and for saving so many lives. If you haven't read it, do. #pukapuka #Libby #📚

Over 20k have called for accountability for those belittled by our Dep. Prime Minister. This behaviour is designed to wear us down and make us feel alone. But we’re not alone. Let’s keep demanding our Government treats everyone with dignity and respect.

Hey Lovely
Can you do me a favour?
Can you unclench your jaw, drop your shoulders and roll them?
Now, can you stretch your body until you make that cute little noise?
Inhale 1 2 3 Exhale 1 2 3 4
Shake it all loose
Smile like you have a secret
Now have a good day on purpose
Luv you

We are heartbroken to confirm that our tuahine, MP for Tāmaki Makaurau, Takutai Moana Natasha Kemp, passed away this morning.
Even as illness weighed on her, she stood firm in the House, in our homes, on our marae fighting for Māori liberation.

Cam Slater thinks 20 years of slimy gossip and blog prostitution is something to celebrate, so he's having Winston over for a party at Leo's place. Judith's busy though. Nicky Hager's invite probably got lost in the mail.
I hope the staff piss in their whiskey.
