Shelfie #5

WE Committee member, Gina Coatsworth from Te Pā o Rākaihautū, with her shelf(ie).

Share your shelfies with us. What are you reading and enjoying during lockdown? We hope it’s not just marking, and we’d love to see what is sitting on your shelf, or that massive pile beside your bed. We know you have one…!

WE Committee member, Gina:

Kia ora,

Nō Engarangi, Koterana me Wēra ōku tūpuna.  I teach English at Te Pā o Rākaihautū.  I am really passionate about te reo Māori, supporting our rangatahi Māori to reach their potential and supporting local talent.  I love stories that carry me away and make me forget my surroundings.  

I feel like I need a second picture of all of the books that I want to read but haven’t actually read yet.

I’m acutely missing my copy of “Small Holes in the Silence: Collected Works” by Hone Tuwhare which should also be on this shelf.
