I used to be very fond of the 'Dig it' relays, featuring anything archaeological: mysteries, thrillers, adventures, horrors, whatever, you name it.
Hope this relay will continue the tradition and will not become buried under the ruins...and I'm starting it with
The Codex by Douglas Preston

I want to participate but I only have a book in spanish (yes I know.... :bash: )
I am offering it anyways:
El egiptólogo by Christian Jacq
http://www.bookcrossing.com/journal/4844081In spanish. A novel about Jean Francois Champollion, an egiptologist.
Now, I don't want to ruin the fun for anyone, so this is going to be here just for a while, if nobody is interested I'll withdraw my offer and no harm done, so no
:bash: please. :unsure:

I'll offer
The Hippopotamus Pool by Elizabeth Peters.

Also bumping this - I really want it to fly off :wink:

Sorry Alteregozoe I already have that one - but trust me people it's great, very exciting and sort of "Davinci Code"ish.
I'm bumping this relay too cos I'd love to see some good stuff on here!

Well, I was kind of crossing my fingers The Last Templar would wait until I have something to offer, but I don't know when that would be :unsure: Hopefully, sometime next week.
*Still crosses fingers*

Sorry blackteiwaz but I would really like to read "The Last Templar".
I can offer "The Hippopotamus Pool" by Elizabeth Peters. I got this in a relay just a week ago and haven't been able to put it down.
Edit:
I just realized that The Hippopotomus Pool came from AlterEgoZoe also...we must have the same taste in books.
blackteiwaz - May 5, 2007 01:18 PM (GMT)
It was bound to happen *sights*, but I'm glad there really is intrest in this thread.
I'm going shopping anyways and will hope that you eventually decide to offer the last templar :giggle:
No rush, it is not like I don't have anything else to read. :D
Edit:
I went shopping today.... :whistle: :wink:

Hey, I have The Last Templar and it's a double, so if anything interesting comes up in this thread that I can take, I'll offer it up!
AlterEgoZoe - May 10, 2007 05:38 PM (GMT)
Um.. Thursday5 took the last templar and offered hippopotamus pool... i don't know if everyone realized that or not..

Digging this relay up!
I already have a copy of The Last Templar, but I like this relay a lot. :D
I can offer:
GraveConsequencesby Dana Cameron
It's a TBR, but will be bumped to the top of my reading list if someone wants it.

Refreshing with (TBR):
He shall thunder in the skyby Elizabeth Peters
Book Description
Trouble is brewing in Egypt at the close of 1914 and no one will escape the fury of the tempest to come. With the world around them at war, Amelia Peabody and her husband Radcliffe Emerson have returned to Cairo for another season of archaeological excavation -- despite the increasing danger of an attack on the Suez Canal and on Egypt itself.
A terrible conflict looms. A long-simmering love affair is resolved. A dastardly plot twists like a serpent writhing in the desert sun. There is no escaping the onrushing hurricane that now threatens the Emersons and their world -- so Amelia plunges right into it.
