The Spinoff Book
The Spinoff Book | Toby Manhire, Toby Morris
14 posts | 2 read
Five years ago, The Spinoff burst onto New Zealand's media scene with smart, screamingly funny and seriously relevant writing. Since then, it has enraged and inspired all the right people, respectably won Website of the Year at the 2019 Voyager Media Awards, and expanded into television, podcasts and now - shockingly - a book. Edited by Toby Manhire, it's jam-packed with The Spinoff's best work, along with full-colour artwork by Toby Morris, photography, collage, poetry and a clutch of new and exclusive essays. Simon Wilson, Jemaine Clement, Lorde and Jesse Mulligan rub shoulders with Spinoff stars like Alex Casey, Madeleine Chapman and Emily Writes. From Shortland Street to sports, feminism to fashion and current events to Kiwi onion dip, this is an engrossing, original take on everything that matters in Aotearoa New Zealand in the 21st century. Featuring Toby Morris Hera Lindsay Bird Leonie Hayden Michle A'Court Ashleigh Young Lorde Jemaine Clement Alex Casey Madeleine Chapman Duncan Greive Simon Wilson Aldous Harding Emily Writes Scotty Stevenson David Farrier .and more "The Spinoff is where we find stories no one else is covering . . . stories we need to hear." 2019 Voyager Media Awards Judges "Right now, every left-leaning, media-savvy, university-educated hipster you know (and probably their baby-boomer parents) is reading The Spinoff." Sunday magazine "Crap and a waste of our money." Mike Hosking

My February TBR and #bookspin is up! Once more I‘m sticking to 10 options instead of 20. There‘s a lot of schoolwork and studying due this month so I will see what I can accomplish for the TBR part. @Librarybelle I‘m hoping to read another book from your list.

My list for #Bookspinand #BookspinBingo for December. This will be my first attempt at #BookSpinBingo.

This list is pulled together to help me score points for #WinterGames hence the Christmas theme of many of the books. Also a few Agatha Christie books on here #AuthoraMonth

Clwojick What a great list! ♥️❄️ 4y
Andrew65 @Clwojick Just scoured my book shelves and those available as ebooks or audiobooks from my library. They have a LOT of Christmas books! Could have produced 4 or 5 lists as long. (edited) 4y
Clwojick I DO have five lists 🙈 4y
Andrew65 @Clwojick 🙈🤣🤯 Why am I not surprised. I have some reserve books in mind. 4y
TheAromaofBooks Yay!! My list is full-on Christmasy as well!! 4y

Stardust is my #bookspin & Noah Hypnotik is #doublespin. Both I‘ve owned for about a year, so I‘m happy they were chosen. Filled out my bingo card but not sure yet what I will choose. @TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks I've been meaning to read the Noah Hypnotik as I've enjoyed Kids of Appetite and Mosquitoland. 4y
Scochrane26 @TheAromaofBooks I‘ve read the other 2, so I definitely wanted to read this one before his 4th book comes out. 4y

#BookSpin #BookSpinBonanza #DoubleSpin

So, I've been wanting to join in on the fun for a while, but always seem to forget or get sidetracked. Am I too late to join for June? I have my list ready just in case😉 Not even sure who runs it either, can someone help?

TheAromaofBooks Hey!! I draw the numbers on the 2nd of every month so you are exactly in time to join for June if you want!!! Just post your list of 20 books & I'll tag you with the numbers on Tuesday!! June is back to regular; I'm just drawing 2 numbers - hopefully I'll do another Bonanza (where I draw all 20 numbers) in the fall. Just let me know if you have any questions!!! 5y

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! Glad to have you back for another round!! 5y

Here‘s my #bookspin for May @TheAromaofBooks .... I‘m hoping to get to at least 3, maybe more.... 🤷‍♀️💕📚

TheAromaofBooks Three sounds like a great goal - and you can always adjust when you see what order the books are in! 5y
