'Gee's O Trilogy was so important to me when I was 10. I met the guy in my late 30s and didn't tell him this of course. We are supposed to look back and regret such cowardly moments but I don't. There's an honour in not bothering people.' —Nick Ascroft. www.thepress.co.nz/culture/3608...

There were two peeks inside Sick Power Trip on Reading Room this weekend! First, 'Bino' by Erik Kennedy. newsroom.co.nz/2025/09/20/s...

Just heard Jesse Mulligan say on RNZ he was surprised he’s 14 y/o daughter loved The Book of Guilt by Catherine Chidgey. BUT it has a 13 y/o narrator and is a belting page turner. PERFECT YA material. Give it to your young teens I say! They love dark stuff, just ask @patricknessbooks.bsky.social

there is just so much to love about this book - I hope every poetry fan gets a copy! nzpoetryshelf.com/2025/09/17/p...

Hot off the press and out next week! How to Save Democracy in Aotearoa New Zealand by Sir Geoffrey Palmer, a book so impassioned that it needed some big chunky 3D type for its title @thwupbooks.bsky.social

Getting ready for the stagers at our house, positioning myself as one who exclusively reads local literary fiction @thwupbooks.bsky.social 😍

No regrets about braving the weather yesterday to go and see Catherine Chidgey chat with Kate Camp about her novel, The Book of Guilt. I learnt many things including the topic of her next book and that she's motivated to write by a fear of death! ^MT my.christchurchcitylibraries.com/blogs/post/c...

Advance copy! @thwupbooks.bsky.social

This is it – the final day! ⌛ teherengawakapress.co.nz

Small sample of books on sale today: What Sort of Man - Breton Dukes Everything We Hoped For - Pip Adam Memorandum of Understanding - Bill Nelson Vanilla Wine - Geoff Cochrane Can You Tolerate This - Ashleigh Young The Commercial Hotel - some guy? Back with the Human Condition - Nick Ascroft

Last day today. They have an excellent selection of books.

The Vulgar Wasp was published in 2018 and I just swiped it up for $15. Very nice.

It’d be interesting to compare Politics in a pandemic (2021) with today’s takes. Also Stardust and Substance (2018). For #scifi fans: Monsters in the Garden (2020). In science, there’s Rebecca Priestley’s Fifteen Million Years in Antarctica (2019). Lots of NZ lit, some history, politics, etc.

📚 #NZ Go to 'Books by Year', then click on '2022 →', and you’ll see the ones on sale ⬇️

This is it – the final day! ⌛ teherengawakapress.co.nz

Some of the biggest bargains of our August sale are these boxsets. Monumental in size, meticulous in detail, and beautifully designed, the complete poems and complete prose of James K Baxter are usually $200 a set but currently $100, while the collected letters are usually $100 and are now only $50.

Tomorrow is the last day for this astonishing sale

Driven to total silliness by a month of packing and posting 1500 books sold in the August sale, the THWUP team are shown here cowering together in a stairwell with various volumes of Selected Poems on their heads. Buy some Selected Poems! Half price! teherengawakapress.co.nz/collections/...

My modest haul from @thwupbooks.bsky.social sale
