A free book - YAY!!! (Second copy)
Received this one free when I purchase another book from 'The 2006 Books Alive Great Read Guide'.
FROM THE BOOK:
'Sylvie has always been the odd one out in her family. Her mother is a celebrated artist, known for her bohemian lifestyle. Her father, long estranged from the family, is a respected poet and academic. Sylvie's two beautiful sisters and her big brother are also making their mark in the design world.
Sylvie hasn't an artistic bone in her body. On the verge of turning thirty, back living in the family home in Sydney and working for her mother and sisters, she feels stuck in a major rut.
Then her brother Sebastian steps in with a rescue plan. He offers her a room in his Melbourne apartment for as long as she likes, on one condition. In an updated version of a treasure hunting game they played as children, she has to follow his instructions and go exploring the city.
Within days, she's doing things she's never done before, going to places she's never been and beginning to think of ideas for a new career. She is also getting to know a very lonely man. Life is looking up.
Then Sebastian reveals one final challenge...'

Removed from the Quick Turnaround BookBag. A nice thin one that would be perfect for those international relays.

OK, change of plans. Not destined for a relay at this stage, but is being reserved for the OZ VBB (general) - hosted by freelunch.
