There is no time to craft just for fun and evolution at the moment and I am starting to climb the walls. As a result I thought I would post pictures of the things I am thinking about, colours I would like to use, projects I would like to finish and paintings I would like to add blossom to.I am in desperate need of good books too (I am having a rare shortage) and would love, love, love to hear about your best reads of 2009/10. Please leave any suggestions in the comment section and I will be eternally grateful. In fact, I will post a list of my own as well. Thank you!!!

Really Really Really Great Books :: The Hundred Cupboards series by N.D.Wilson. You can read my review at my blog, amamzing.blogspot.com. Hope that helps!
Some of the books I enjoyed in 2009 were (and I can't remember authors so well but you could look them up!), The Good Parents, The Tall Man - Chloe Hooper, The Book Thief, Careful, The Turning - Tim Winton,there's a few to start with! Do you belong to your local library? That's a good place to pick up something new xo
simply one must read from last year...The Gargoyle by Andrew Davidson

Another one here who recommends "The Book Thief".
Kate - I would not consider myself a reader but I did read a great book last summer - The Friday Night Knitting Club by Kate Jacobs. I really enjoyed this book and have bought the sequel to read sometime. This is a great story about a knit shop and all that happens with a group of friends.
What types of books are you after?
Here goes....good simple no brainer reads
anything by Monica McInerney or Rachel treasure. Both Aussie authors and often relate to australian settings. I have just finished Amanda Hampsons "the olive sisters" her first book and was BRILLIANT. Yesterday I knocked off "persuasion" - jane Austen, but you have read them before! now I'm about to tackle Jane Eyre...wish me luck xx
I just finished two books by Rose Tremain--Music & Silence (my new fave) and the equally wonderful The Colour. I bet you'd love them! Also one of my best reads from last year was Daughter of Fortune, by Isabel Allende. They are all super, intelligent, soulful historical reads...:o)
One of my fave books is The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton. And The Literary Potato Peel Pie Society. Oh and The Villa in Italy.
Hello sweetie...I love Maggie Alderson books they are funny social commentaries with lots of raunch too. xxx Eve Mac
