We gave readers another reason to pick up a book using one thing every young Kiwi could relate to; Facebook – something us Kiwis spend up to 1 hour reading every single day, which if we were honest, is not exactly quality material.

Audio book style narrator:

On the 30th of July 2015, Sarah Harris posted, “Just bought some fab new winter boots. Hashtag blessed, praying hands emoji.”

“O M G,” replied Tara Donnelly. “The green ones?”

“No. The brown ones,” confirmed Sarah.

“Gold trim?” inquired Tara.

“Yes,” confirmed Sarah. “Hashtag bling bling, hashtag these boots are made for walking.” Two people liked this.

“Awwwwww totes jelly!” lamented Tara.

“Oh don’t be jelly babes,” replied Sarah.

“But I am jelly!” replied Tara.

At this point Lisa Jones joined the conversation. “I’m jelly too,” she said.

The end.

The announcer pauses for a second.
