TAL A c c es s an d C o ntent L i b r ar i an

There’s a saying that keeps circulating around the internet, because it’s true for so many book-lovers: “I was born with a reading list I will never finish”. For every book I read, five new ones emerge that I can’t wait to get my hands on!

But I’ve chosen two that I consider to be significant items in our collection, because they break with tradition: Linda Rodriguez McRobbie’s Princesses Behaving Badly: real stories from history – without the fairy-tale endings This volume is so popular, we feature it in two different areas

of the Biography shelves! From a 5th century Scandinavian princess who turned pirate rather than give in to a suitor she didn’t want, to the princess who served in the Resistance and was executed by the Nazis, this book is jam-packed with fascinating, colourful, and notyour-storybook-typical heroine you’ll wished you’d heard about sooner!

compassion and her intelligence.

Relatable, strong women with a sense of humour and a good head on their shoulders, Novik’s heroines are refreshing and timely.

This book is really hard to put down!

Also available in our digital collection as an audiobook.

Uproot by Naomi Novik Continuing on from the theme of princesses and fairy-tales (and non-fairy-tales), I cannot praise Naomi Novik’s books enough!

Uprooted is an original fairy-tale with notyour-usual heroine, who wins everyone over with her W W W.U P P E R H U T T L I B R A R Y.C O. N Z
