October is New Zealand Book Month – anyone keen to post on a book a day for the month, starting on Thursday?
That’s only 31 books and it doesn’t have to be a full review. The name, author and/or a little about the book, and/or the author and/or why you like it or not, will suffice.
Or, if you’ve written a book yourself, and are in to shameless self-promotion, you could post about your own book 31 times.
If you need some inspiration, NZ History Online has 30 reasons to love NZ books and writing.

I’ll give it a go, ‘though I may specialise and work on children’s books.
Yeah, count me in….do they have to be fiction, though?
‘Cos Bollard and Buckle’s “Economic Liberalisation in New Zealand’ is a real page turner. And Malcolm McKinnon History of the NZ Treasury will have you on the edge of your seat.
Delighted you’re both accepting the challenge.
Any NZ book for any age, fact or fiction, accepted.
I’ll take your word on the page-turning and seat-edging properties of those two tomes though, Rob.
