Stella Miles Franklin

Jill Roe, Fourth Estate, 2008

I have an abiding interest in Australian literature. This Christmas present from Hazel is 570 pages of bliss.

Kylie Tennant: A Life

Jane Grant, NLA, 2006

Dan Cederholm, New Riders, 2008 (2nd ed)

The Principles of Successful Freelancing

Miles Burke, Sitepoint, 2008

Simply Javascript

Kevin Yank & Cameron Adams, Sitepoint, 2007

Ukulele Chord Finder

Chad Johnson, Hal Leonard, 2005

The family gave me a bright red uke last birthday – time to learn to play it.
