Why should we know about snow? For goodness sake we live in Australia, land of sun, beaches and gorgeous blond surfers in skimpy bathers.
So when this snow stuff hit us, we were literally caught with our pants down. Around our ankles.
Where on earth did this silly stuff come from? Oh, we knew about the Australian Alps, Blue Cow and all those other resorts that the rich go (more. . .)

Oops! Is definitely the first word. It first came about when a Neanderthal man chucked a megaceros on the dirt in front of the doorstep of the hitherto warm, and welcoming cave mouth. He admitted that apologetic exclamation, complete with subservient grimace, when he saw the look of glowering anger and impending explosive result on the face of his previously warm and welcoming cave mate.
In embarrassment, he would have (more. . .)

In The Lover (L’Amant), Marguerite Duras reflects on her youth in 1930s Indochina. This memoir focuses mainly on her affair with the man who would become her first lover, the adult son of a Chinese millionaire at least 12 yrs her senior.  The short book (only about 100 pages) weaves in and out of the author’s memories in a dreamy manner that is not unappealing. I had the impression (more. . .)

These are books to be read on the beach, gin and tonic in hand.
Seymour Hersh in the New York Times has written about secret plans of the Central Intelligence Agency to establish and train teams of agents who would be entering foreign countries for the purpose of killing al Qaeda leaders, followers and sympathizers. The proposed program, started in 2001 following the attack on the World Trade Center, was (more. . .)

James, or Jimmy to those who irritate him, asked for a short Biography. He allowed us to know that he fished, didn’t do well at school and was an elephant circumciser. I knew he was an expatriate Scot, due to his late night emails reeking of single malt whisky.Jimmy, your fifteen minutes of fame is upon you.
Life, for our hero, was quite uneventful in the early years. The (more. . .)

MURDER, MAGIC, AND MADNESS AT THE FAIR THAT CHANGED AMERICA.
This is the first non fiction book that I’m reviewing here on Book Review Babes. The Devil in White City is an engrossing story that reads like a novel. Indeed, the facts within are extraordinary, and with such a tale, it is difficult to believe how infrequently this story has been told over the years. There are actually two narratives (more. . .)

Clive Barker is known for his twisted horror and suspenseful thrillers. I’ve always loved his writing, and a few of his works are among my favorites. I don’t know why I waited so long to read Galilee, but I’m glad I finally did, as it is now not only my favorite novel by Barker, but it has become one of my favorite novels, period.
Galilee is pure Southern Gothic…an (more. . .)

Have you ever wondered what happens to bodies that are donated to science? The lovely Mary Roach, who is not a scientist but takes a scientific approach to her books, has written a wonderfully informative, hilariously funny and at times utterly gross-out book. The subtitle of the book is “The curious life of human cadavers” and it really is a very curious book and one of the best things (more. . .)

First of all, just a quick note for those who are afraid that I’ve slammed my flag into Bookreviewbabes.com and claimed it in the name of Natalina, Don’t worry! Cheryl is on vacation (or holiday, as I believe they call it in her neighborhood) and she will return. In the meantime, read on for another of my thrilling reviews.
Utopia X by Scott Wilson has long been one of my (more. . .)

We all have quirks. Some of us have more than others..ahem..but none of us is perfect. Addition is the tale of one woman who lives with a BIG quirk, and her journey to build a reasonable and fulfilling life around it.

Mary Modern, by Camille DeAngelis is a tale full of near future intrigue, romance, suspense, and heavy drama. Borrowing some inspiration from that other Mary…Mary Shelley (Frankenstein), Camille DeAngelis has written a tale about the moral and ethical dangers of cloning, as well as what happens to the mind when in a deep state of sorrow and despair.
The book revolves around Lucy Morrigan, a genetics researcher at a (more. . .)

This has to be one of the most magnificent books I’ve read in ages. Full of humor, suspense, romance, philosophy, Buddhist principles, and enchanting prose, “The Sacred Book of the Werewolf” is one that I’d recommend a thousand times over.
This is a book about werewolves….actually, a werewolf and a werefox in Russia; Alexander and A Hu-li.Â
 A Hu-li is the werefox, who is able to transform herself into (more. . .)

Well as the lovely Natalina said, who knew that two babes from different continents would end up blogging about our love of all booky things together and be so fabulous? Well we think we’re fabulous and that’s what counts isn’t it?
I’m Cheryl, or CJ…depending on my mood and I’m from the sunburnt country of Oz – which happens to be totally waterlogged at the moment and in drought (more. . .)

At first glance, “Goodnight Nobody” appears to be your run of the mill classic chick lit. While it is true that there are elements that will appeal to the traditional chick lit audience, the reality is that this is also a fantastic murder mystery, as well as an unapologetic commentary on the way women tend to lose themselves in their duties to others. It comes from one of the (more. . .)

Here is my new review of a recently read book called My Sister’s Keeper by Jodi Picoult. It’s the fictional story of Anna, a thirteen year old who was genetically engineered and conceived to be a perfectly matched bone marrow donor for her sister Kate who has leukemia. Anna is not ill but she has had countless procedures and each time that Kate is sick Anna must give until (more. . .)

The Book of Job is a tricky section of the Bible, as it shows God and Satan entering into a challenge or a wager, with the life of Job, a humble servant of God, and his family, as the pawns.
I have always been fascinated by Job and his trials, and was mightily intrigued when I came upon the novel The Book of Joby by Mark Ferrari. I picked (more. . .)

When I picked up this book I had no idea it was a book meant for children. It was the blurb on the back that made me want to read it and although it is written for kids it is a story that just as easily speaks to an adult audience. It will certainly distress sensitive souls no matter their age because of the subject matter. It’s a simple (more. . .)

We are currently building the site so it may take on a few different schizophrenic personas over the next months as we toss ideas back and forth in a civilized manner over a cup of coffee and then move on to sipping Gins and Tonic…which will most likely end with us rolling on the floor pulling hair and bitch-slapping each other senseless until one of us gets our way.
