Tēnā koutou! I’m Chloe, an indigenous book lover from New Zealand!  My tribal affiliations connect me to some of the most beautiful parts of our land and these landmarks are outlined above in my pepeha! I am a wife, mother, and whānau lover. I am a medical student currently studying to become a doctor. I love good kai, wine, cats, books and tramping!
Books have held me tightly since I was about 11 when I would stay up late reading to myself and my younger siblings. I love a variety of genres and especially love reading books by Māori authors. I am a firm believer in equity. I am staunchly antiracist. I am pro Māori.  I make no apologies for this and it show in my reviews and recommendations. Ngā mihi ki a koutou!
