	Description:		While Spotify has revolutionised the way we listen to music, online shopping has done the same for retail, not to mention books.

Leigh Hickey runs The Good Story bookstore in Akaroa, on Banks Peninsula, which opened in April 2023. She gives Bryan her top book recommendations including The Place of Tides by James Rebanks, Raising Hare by Chloe Dalton, Ingrained by Callum Robinson, The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny by Kiran Desai, and Greta and Valdin by Rebecca K Reilly.
