Following the trend of Supernatural/Paranormal/Fantasy Books , I was wondering how long it would be until one was written based in New Zealand, this book hits closer to home for me as well . Throughout the story it describes New Zealand Myths and Legends , and the language is all something that I grew up on. Another piece of random information is that the main character's name in the story Ellie Spencer is similar to my cousin whose name is Ellie Spence. Only one letter difference and like my cousin , the main character's name is really Elizabeth. Review : Guardian of the Dead - Kar...

                                                              Looking around the stores in New Zealand anyway, we can start to notice that Cancer /Breast Cancer days are nearing . With Daffodil Day and then Breast Cancer month in October. The one thing that I like about these months is not only the celebration of awareness as I myself found a lump in my breast but luckily it turned out just to be a cyst of sorts. My other favourite thing is the release of the Breast Cancer stationery , being a big stationery lover and more towards the pen side , every year I make it a habit to pick up the annual release of the Breast Cancer's Parker Pen.

                                                                         A couple of years back I tried to read the series by Lisa McMann and found that I couldn't get into , but after watching the new movie "Inception". I decided to give it another go and now I'm thinking that back then I just obviously wasn't in the right frame of mind for the story. Review : Wake - Lisa McMann - 2008 After watching the film starring Leonardo DiCaprio "Inception" , the whole dream in a dream sounded like a really good idea and sent a little buzz to re-read the trilogy by Lisa McMann starting with the first book "Wake". For as long as Janie ca...

Are you a fan of the Christmas story "The Night before Christmas" or more similar to the book review today "The Ghosts of Christmas Past". Today's book review is a Supernatural read that's plot falls somewhere between The Night before Christmas and The Ghosts of Christmas Past. Review : The Nights Before Christmas - Kerry Allen Twas the Night before Christmas and Harvey Doyle was definitely dreading turning up to work. He had been so happy to find out that their wasn't going to be a Christmas Party but unfortunately for him - the staff had moved their New Year's Party to a Christmas Party as everyone was going to be on holiday. The other thing he most hated about Christmas , was the thought of giving gifts and his workplace was big on the Secret Santa . He hated Christmas soooo much, that he had earned himself the nickname "Grooge" - a mixture between The Grinch and Scrooge. Now this is the part where the humour element has played with t...

                                                                          Every now and again, authors are asked to re-publish novels many years later . They can choose to leave the story as originally published like Harlan Coben did with Play Dead or as Lori Copeland has done with Yellow Rose Bride, she has changed the title and added a bit extra pages to the tale. Yellow Rose Bride was originally published in 1996 under the name of Bridal Lace and Buckskin. Review : Yellow Rose Bride - Lori Copeland - 2009 This story starts in the year 1865 , the war has just finished and soldiers Teague, PK and El have just killed a...
