Just started reading this Autumn and I KNOW I'm going to love it

I started reading this Claire, got up to about Chapter 5 then put it aside. Something about it was annoying me, can't quite put my finger on it, but I nearly always like the books you like, so I'll give it another try sometime later. I'm very captivated by books written about the two world wars, particularly ones set in Gt Britain.

Muggle Not would like to change his profile title from 'Huggle A Muggle', which he's had for some time now, so we're asking for suggestions. I always thought Huggle A Muggle was eminently suitable because Muggle is a much loved and respected, long-time member of this board, but if he wants something new, my suggestion is ... With a Song In My Heart It would be great if we could have as many suggestions as possible so he can choose the one he likes the best Choices so far ...

Thanks for the link, Claire. The names of NZ writers I picked up from this and recognise are, Denis Glover, James K Baxter, Bill Manhire, Patricia Grace and Katherine Mansfield. It's interesting walking around windy Wellington's waterfront, as mentioned, reading writer's quotes inscribed in various places. This one by James McNeish My NZ reading has tended to be rural based. Authors like Barry Crump, Mona Anderson, Temple Sutherland, Mary Anne Barker and Steven Eldred-Grigg. Ngaio Marsh wrote murder mysteries and there are several excellent NZ children's/YA authors I've enjoyed, Margaret Mahy, Joy Cowley, Joyce West and Lynley Dodds.

Feeling Good ~ Nina Simone or Muse (love both these versions)

That book sounds excellent, Frankie! I'd love to read that, but I guess it's only in Finnish I think I've read An Angel At My Table by Janet Frame, but it was quite a while ago. She was certainly an interesting and very talented writer.
