Bookarama

Marina from Avonhead

I just came across this article: www.stuff.co.nz...
Now I know why only rubbishy books were available during recent Bookaramas. Who donates their good books to Rotary so booksellers can make a heap of money? Bookarama is a community event, not an opportunity for book sellers to make a huge profit. Everyone should have the same chances. It's absolute bollocks that they put out more quality books. What they put out at the start is what was donated recently. Once the shelves get empty, they replenish with what was left over from the previous Bookarama. They should only allow bags up to a certain size. That would solve the problem and everyone would have the same chance.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
