Sarah Laing is a Wellington-based cartoonist, illustrator and fiction writer – the author of two novels, a story collection and a book-length comic. Ahead of the Listener’s 100 Best Books and Best Kids’ Books of 2024, we asked the voracious reader to create a visual diary of the books she has enjoyed over the year.
