What I am reading right now

Well, my blog post obviously! I am making the most of the long weekend and have done some major reading. So far I have read and enjoyed:

- 'Wild Lavender' by Belinda Alexandra. Ms Alexandra is visiting our library very soon and so I was keen to read her books. She has written three books, 'White Gardenia' (published 2003, I haven't yet read this one), 'Wild Lavender' (published 2005 and a great read), and 'Silver Wattle' (published 2007). This last book was the first one I read and it kept me reading, I started and finished it the same night to the amazement of my work colleagues (and my poor eyeballs). Go here to learn more about Ms Alexandra - http://www.harpercollins.com.au/global_scripts/product_catalog/author_xml.asp?authorid=AUS_0018805

- 'Seventh Son', 'Red Prophet' and 'Prentice Alvin' by Orson Scott Card. I feel like I have been revisiting an old friend as I have been a fan of Mr Card's for a number of years. These three books are part of The Tales of Alvin Maker series and the only ones I own. I will be requesting the other three when I get back to work. Check out Mr Card's official website - http://www.hatrack.com/index.shtml

- 'Uglies' by Scott Westerfeld. I really enjoyed this book and will checking out the sequel, 'Pretties' when I get back to work. Check out Mr Westerfeld's home page - http://www.scottwesterfeld.com/ and his blog - http://scottwesterfeld.com/blog/

And I am sure you are now asking how I have managed to get so much read and it is only Sunday night - well, I don't sleep much, because that would interrupt my reading! I have also managed to fit in some sewing and some cleaning and some playtime! A good day is a busy day.
