Sonali Dev book jackets A Bollywood Affair, The Bollywood Bride

Video review: Reasons to love Sonali Dev’s Bollywood series

A Bollywood Affair and The Bollywood Bride are the first two books in Sonali Dev’s Bollywood series. They are two of my favourite romance novels, my go-to comfort reads, and brilliantly addictive. I could give a TED talk on why they should feature at the top of every Best Romance list.

Video review: Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao

Zetian is a girl with nothing to lose. When she signs up to become a concubine pilot to infiltrate the army so she can avenge the death of her sister, it’s in the full knowledge that the decision will likely kill her. Sure enough, she lands on the front line of the bloody war against an alien invasion. Throughout the riveting novel she battles aliens in the air and a patriarchal system that uses girls as cannon fodder on the ground. The book has been called a cross between Pacific Rim and Hunger Games. It’s powerful and beautiful and a must-read!
