Matt Sallee: Pentatonix member on the group's musical journey

The Hidden Girl by Lucinda Riley. This was, in fact, her very first book written under another name and never made available here in New Zealand. Her son Harry Whitaker, with whom she had a long standing creative partnership, has edited it and given it a whole new life. It's classic Lucinda Riley and her thousands of fans will be thrilled. It’s an epic multi-generational saga which moves from Europe in WW2 to the streets of New York - very typical of the kinds of stories she’s so loved for.

The Siege by Ben McIntyre. An account of the 1980 siege of the Iranian Embassy in London when 6 terrorists took 26 hostages inside the building in a dispute which raged on for more than 6 days. The SAS were eventually called in and stormed the building by abseiling down from the roof and in through the windows and killed five of the terrorists and managed to rescue most - but not all - of the hostages. It was remarkable because it was the first time the SAS’s skills had ever been on such public display and the whole thing was televised and broadcast around the world.

Whitcoulls Recommends: The Hidden Girl and The Siege

Travellers and companions with time to spare will have opportunity to explore the new shopping mall opening right by Auckland Airport this week.

The new $200-million-plus premium outlet centre Mānawa Bay opened on Thursday, with launch celebrations running from September 19-22.

BloggerAtLarge writer Megan Singleton says this might seem like an unusual spot to set up a mall - but it gives people staying in the nearby hotels something to explore without going as far as the city.

This morning on Q&A, Wellington mayor Tory Whanau has said she may not have sold her car just to help pay the bills - contradicting her earlier appearance on Wellington Mornings. What do we make of this?

The Government is looking to have a referendum to determine whether to add an extra year on to our political terms. Do we need this change?
