Sparse book review pickings...............
Three pages in the Saturday Herald's Canvas magazine, but then nothing in the Herald on Sunday and only slightly more than half a page in the Sunday Star Times, so it was a relief to receive the New Zealand Listener in the mail this morning and find no less than 10 pages devoted to books! Yay, go the Listener.

Quite heavy for holiday reads for reviewers too! You have to admit though that one of the pages is a full page of Justin Paton.

What ARE the books being reviewed in the Listener then? Should I buy a copy of the mag?
Sorry too busy to list them all but there were 12 titles and yes you should def buy a copy of the mag. Buy it every week is my advice!
