I read Pirates by Celia Rees. A book I wouldn't have read had I not been participating in a reading challenge. Enjoyed it. In fact, I got it for our library and then I got Witch Child and Sorcesses (sp). Have Define Normal. I'm a Julie Ann Peters fan. Happy Reading.

Song of the Sparrow is phenomonal. Lisa Ann Sandell is one of my favorite authors. Her writing is simply beautiful. I've looked at Sovay many times, but have never gotten it. I'm curious to see what you think about it. Have fun reading all those fantastic books!
