Many thanks to Allen & Unwin for Losing the Plot, the debut novel from Aussie author Elizabeth Coleman, both hilarious and very topical re plagiarism. 5★s

I enjoyed this romantic thriller based around "out of place artifacts" and people with a magical ability to sense their histories by touching them:
The Time Collector by Gwendolyn Womack 4.5★review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I really enjoyed Professor Chandra Follows His Bliss for something a bit different.

It's still available on NetGalley for a few more days if anyone's tempted.
I'm still enjoying my favourite old Czech detective in Graham Brack's great series set in Prague. The third book is Death On Duty: Authentic detective fiction, packed full of suspense, and there are more to come! Dark crime and light humour. Perfect mix!

Now for something completely different! Blossoms in Autumn is a new, adult, graphic (in both senses of the word) novel about an older guy and an older woman, both alone now, and how they get to know each other, warts and all (yes, all). Have a look - I included some good illustrations.

Victoria Purman's soon-to-be published The Land Girls (15th April) is a great historical read set during WW2. Interesting and heart-warming.5★s

My review for: The Orchardist's Daughter by Karen Viggers
5★https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Although I enjoyed Butter Tea at Sunrise: A Year in the Bhutan Himalaya, it wasn't my favourite amongst the similar Bhutan memoir/travel books I've read over the years.

If you had told me when I was at Uni that one day I would request a book about politics from the publisher, I would have said you needed to consult a psychiatrist. I have obviously changed, a lot!
The people at Text Publishing were kind enough to send me From Secret Ballot to Democracy Sausage: How Australia Got Compulsory Voting by Aussie historian Judith Brett, when I asked them for it. Interesting, I learned heaps, and of course very topical.
