Luckaye's reveal



Dances With Wolves by Michael Blake

The world renowned, American epic Dances With Wolves is the eternal story of one man's search for his place in the world.
Set in 1863, the novel follows Lieutenant John Dunbar on a magical and unpredictable journey from the ravages of the Civil War to the far reaches of the imperiled American frontier, a frontier he naively wants to see "before it's gone".

His posting to a desolate and deserted outpost is the springboard for contact with the lords of the southern plains...the Comanches.

Though he does not speak their language, has no knowledge of their customs and is considered a trespasser, Lieutenant Dunbar finds himself intrigued by the exotic and alien culture of the buffalo-hunting people of the plains.

A simple desire to know more about his wild neighbors ignites a great adventure of transformation that culminates with the emergence of a different kind of man...a man called Dances With Wolves.

I sent out my reveal and hopefully everyone got it. :) I'm heading for bed now.

Good Night

Oh, hello... glad I checked in before going to bed! :D

Let's see...I'll have zosime reveal.

And now to :sleep:

:peek: Just checking in before bed. I should be able to check in at least a couple of times a day now. :wave:

Morning.
So we have started? :bananadance:

I have gotten a lot of reveals.
BO was offline when I woke up. :o . Not for long though :)
My messenger box was full but I emptied it.

sorry I do not have zosime's reveal.

Good Morning! :wave:

Will aim to check in throughout the day - got lots of bits to do.

I have Zosime's reveal:

The Last Days of Dogtown by Anita Diamant

Set on the high ground at the heart of Cape Ann, the village of Dogtown is peopled by widows, orphans, spinsters, scoundrels, whores, free Africans, and "witches." Among the inhabitants of this hamlet are Black Ruth, who dresses as a man and works as a stonemason; Mrs. Stanley, an imperious madam whose grandson, Sammy, comes of age in her brothel; Oliver Younger, who survives a miserable childhood at the hands of his aunt; and Cornelius Finson, a freed slave. At the center of it all is Judy Rhines, a fiercely independent soul, deeply lonely, who nonetheless builds a life for herself against all imaginable odds.

Rendered in stunning, haunting detail, with Diamant's keen ear for language and profound compassion for her characters, The Last Days of Dogtown is an extraordinary retelling of a long-forgotten chapter of early American life.

Shaunesay:

nice :)

Good morning. Will only be here for another hour and then have to work for 4 hours but will be back after that... :D

Morning. Guten morgen. ;) You have a good spot! on 9 is nice!

Good to know! ;)

ciao! I am off to bed :zzz:

I've left a bunch of moves in my sig.

I'm going to be flying this morning to CA, so I'll be offline for the next 10-12 hours. I should be able to check in once I get there.

If all my moves fail, I appoint geishabird to make a move for me.

I'm here, morning everyone :wave:
Will send my reveal to a few people (will be unknown fingers crossed)

QUESTION: (this is something that always confuses me) when someone leave moves in the sig are they order by its priority?
Move #1: steal X
move #2: steal Y
move #3: steal Z

after X is stolen and then someone else steal X again and then when it's time for move #2 should we use #2 (and steal Y) or steal back X?
Of course all that if the moves are without restrictions like not 4th or 5th.

Hope my question makes sense to you as well :erm:

Halleluja. It does to me. :o :evil:

That is why I always add the steals.
for instance, steal book so and so but not on 4th steal.

That's why I don't leave moves :blush:

I think I am going to stop leaving moves also. It seems quite a lot of people don't. and I am always online during my waking hours. :blush: :lol:

shame on me. :whip: I have no life!

Sh*t! It would be my fault! people will dislike me (even more :evil:)

Reason why I don't leave moves is that I like to be involved in the game actively (not passively while I'm sleeping). Of course I never break 12 hours rule :innocent:

Yep! That's how it works!

I try to make the person's 1st move. If that doesn't work, the 2nd. etc.

I sent my reveal out to zzz, azuki, luckaye, lizabeth and candy

I'll be around today in case my turn arises! :wave:

That's how would I do as well.

Morsie's reveal:

First, there is a River by Kathy Steffen

Set in 1900, Steffen's debut presents a captivating view of life aboard a riverboat a century ago.



Emma Perkins' life appears idyllic. Her husband, Jared, is a hardworking farmer and a dependable neighbor. But Emma knows intimately the brutality prowling beneath her husband's façade. When he sends their children away, Emma's life unravels.

A woman seeks her spirit.
Deep in despair, Emma seeks refuge aboard her uncle's riverboat, the Spirit of the River. She travels through a new world filled with colorful characters: captains, mates, the rich, the working class, moonshiners, prostitutes, and Gage, the Spirit's reclusive engineer. Scarred for life from a riverboat explosion, Gage's insight into heartache draws him to Emma, and as they heal together, they form a deep and unbreakable bond. Emma learns to trust that anything is possible, including reclaiming her children and facing her husband.

A man seeks revenge.
Jared Perkins makes a journey of his own. Determined to bring his wife home and teach her the lesson of her life, Jared secretly follows the Spirit. His rage burns cold as he plans his revenge for everyone on board.
Against the immense power of the river, the journey of the Spirit will change the course of their lives forever.

This is entirely too early for me to be up on Saturday! :wacko: Hubby received a work phone call at 3:30 am, 3 hours later, I notice he didn't make it back to bed poor guy, then thought well, I'm up, so I might as well put my reveal together since I forgot to do it last night... and then it was my turn as well! At least I didn't keep folks waiting too long! :blush:

And now, it's back to sleep, for this is much to early for a Shaunie-monster to be awake!

But I will PM Elsi first! ;)

I will be in and out during the day, sent reveal to Morse.

Cheers

:peek:

Wow, I've already been revealed! :blush:

Sorry you didn't get it, Marlene. :( I'm glad I didn't hold the game up too much.
