The romantasy genre has had a surge in popularity in recent years with with sales pushing UK fiction revenue over 2.2 billion dollars last year. With the help of Booktok; a sub-community on the social media platform Tik Tok; fantasy, dark and spicy novels have been making their way onto best-seller lists. Closer to home, Ruby Wallace has taken that digital community and turned it into real life with her romance bookshop, Enamoured, in Remuera in Tamaki Makaurau.

Photo: Kirsten Lewis Voted one of America's best photographers, Colorado-based Kirsten Lewis spent 15 years capturing the complex yet fulfilling roller-coaster ride of parenting. With her camera in tow, she visited families and spent hours and hours capturing raw and unfiltered moments of intimacy between loved ones. The result? A collection of black and white photographs showing that both parenthood and life are messy endeavours. Kirsten's Lewis' photobook Unsupervised is her visual counterargument to the social pressures for parents to appear "perfect" on social media. She says she hopes the project helps parents feel less alone.
