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!
