Three's new local psychological thriller series is set to follow two best friends- and a surrogacy pact that falls through.

Set in a post-quake Kaikōura, the series explores the town's recovery following the disaster, as the friendship between the leads turns toxic.

Series creator Sarah-Kate Lynch and lead actress Morgana O’Reilly say the earthquake provided a solid backdrop for the series, as it impacted people differently.

"For some people, the earthquake wasn't the end of anything, it was the beginning of things. If you were working on the roads, for example, your business might have done better. But if you had a little motel, you might have done worse."

Megan Singleton: BloggerAtLarge.com writer on her personal highlights from New Orleans

The Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley. In a near future London the Government’s experimenting with time travel, bringing five people from various points in history into the 21st century where they’re confronted by the internet, dating apps and Spotify. Implausible though this sounds, it’s fun, highly entertaining and works brilliantly - and I never, ever read time travel but have happily made an exception. It’s wonderful and highly, highly recommended.

Nothing Significant to Report by Dario Nustrini. Dario was just a year out of school when he decided to join the NZ Army, with absolutely no idea what to expect. This is hilarious and highly entertaining - he tells about the back breaking exercises designed to grind down the new recruits, to roleplaying in an SAS manhunt – in a series of self deprecating stories about misfits, mayhem and camaraderie.

The cost of living is continuing to bite, with Whittaker's confirming they plan to increase their chocolate prices in the coming days. Are more of us cutting back on our favourite things? What have we given up?
