Loved Hello Beautiful by @napolitanoann. Listen to me rave about it on @ninetonoon this morning here: rnz.co.nz/audio/player?audio… (and forgive me for saying Irish Catholic instead of Italian Catholic! It just rolled off the tongue!) Honestly, I loved this a great deal! @penguinrandom

I just rolled up to vote at the library and a lovely elderly gentleman outside had to tell me that the library wasn’t open for 10 minutes. Some kind of hilarious library karma there.

Hi Library Land! I was thrilled to be asked to write a piece for Civica's The One Thing Series recently, in which I somehow make Ted Lasso and Allen Curnow relate to each other. civica.com/en-au/thought-lea… #librarylife #youthengagement #librarytwitter
