REVIEW: The Road to Gondwana: In Search of the Lost Supercontinent by Bill Morris

JayneB Reviews / Book ReviewsAfrica / Antarctica / Australia / fossils / geology / History / India / New Zealand / non-fiction / paleontology / science / South America2 Comments

This is the story of a journey. Actually, it’s a story of many journeys, of paths woven through the fabric of Earth’s history, and of human history, all of which lead to one semi-mythical, and yet completely real place — the lost supercontinent Gondwana. An immersive and fascinating journey into ... more >

REVIEW: Pet by Catherine Chidgey

JennieB Reviews / Book Reviewsmystery / New Zealand / thriller4 Comments

Dear Catherine Chidgey: This book was mentioned to me by the esteemed Janine, who has more than once (or twice) directed me towards smart thrillers, even though it’s not a genre she reads herself. Pet ended up being very smart and unexpectedly dark. Justine Crieve is a 12-year-old in 1984 ... more >

Review: Murder on Milverton Square (The Milverton Mysteries book 1) by G.B. Ralph

SiriusB Reviews Category / B+ Reviews / Book Reviews / Recommended Readscozy m/m mystery / New Zealand9 Comments

Black and white image of a shirtless hot young man with tribal tattoos on his upper arms and chest, leaning against a wall with one arm above his head. He's looking down, kind of via his armpit. In his other hand he's carrying a rugby ball which is resting against his black trackpants-clad leg

Recommended Read

Dear Nalini Singh, It’s been a while since the last Hard Play release (Love Hard – I did in fact love it hard) and there have been a lot of books in between, so I’d kind of forgotten who Catie and Danny were and the various relationships in the Bishop-Esera ... more >

REVIEW: Quiet in Her Bones by Nalini Singh

JennieB Reviews / B Reviews Category / Book Reviewsmystery / New Zealand / POC / POC author / thriller8 Comments

Dear Nalini Singh: A friend alerted me to this book, knowing I was a reader of both your Psy/Changeling series and, in recent years, of the thriller/suspense genre. I was curious to see how my two interests would converge here. The book is narrated by Aarav Rai, an author whose ... more >

Black and white photo of a super hot Samoan man with tribal tattoos over his chest, shoulders and down one upper arm, holding a rugby ball and wearing only jeans, faded in all the right places.

REVIEW: Love Hard by Nalini Singh

KaetrinA- Reviews / Book Reviews / Recommended ReadsContemporary / enemies to lovers / Hard Play series / New Zealand / POC author / rugby / single dad9 Comments

Recommended Read

Dear Nalini Singh, Sometimes a book arrives at just the perfect time and that special alchemy that happens between story and reader happens; a combination of great book and the exact right reading mood. That’s what happened here. I admit enemies to lovers isn’t generally my favourite trope. But Jacob ... more >
