 FREE and BARGAIN BOOKS for you.

 

The Yellow eyed Penguins have just finished their moult and can go back to sea. They've been starving for most of March and early April whilst their new feathers grew in and became waterproof. Their babies this year weren't healthy great fat fluffy grey offspring and had to be fed to raise them to survival weight – not enough fish - and inoculated against a new disease which arrived with the raised sea temperature. The local sea temps are so much higher we don't need wetsuits for a swim. We sure did 17 years ago when I retuned from Japan..

But there's a Hurray for April. The YA Edo period Japanese novella is with my editor, my human editor. It's already been to an A.I. editor who can do things very quickly that a human editor would not or could not do. A.I. can be a writer's friend for all those boring analytical tasks like trawling through Amazon algorithms, or checking all the key words of the best sellers in similar books to mine which A.I does in a flash, and which really help me. But it's the human editor who turns the story into a warm, emotional readable story, and corrects my misplaced commas!

A new order of books has arrived at the library. I found the Australian historical novel 'The Star on the Grave' by Linda Margolin Roya. A fascinating read based on her family's WWII history and what happens when some family members try to hide the past. Alas traditionally published the Kindle is outrageously expensive.

Pratchett gets better and better. Here he is again pointing out humanity's stupidities: racial prejudice,snobbish beliefs in superiority, why the rule of just law is important and why violence breeds violence, yet all done with humour.
