Blackteiwaz, start us off anytime!!! Whose's reveal would you like to see?

Oh no... I thought I'd made the cutoff! Is there any chance to reshuffle, since I was last in the November YBS? :(

Sorry, I had already made the list when I noticed your post. Re-shuffling is more work than you probably realize so no I won't do it again. Again, sorry.

Sent my reveal to Cats,Giz and Joanna but it took 2 tries. Today is my dumb day :lol:

Ace is here! show me what you have! :)

PMed Ace.
Breeze: I like the colors you used for the layout :D

My book is:

The Camel Club by David Baldacci



The Camel Club is made up of four middle-aged men: Stone (in homage to the director Oliver Stone), Milton, Reuben, and Caleb, whose lives have led them to be suspicious of the government and politicians in general. Their late-night excursions mainly consist of White House stakeouts, until the night they discover two men carrying another man while on Roosevelt Island and killing him while making it look like a suicide. The men believe a conspiracy is afoot, and this time, they're right on the money. Secret Service agent Alex Ford, who has a passing acquaintance with Stone, is called into to investigate the death of the man, who happens to be a Secret Service agent, Patrick Johnson. Johnson was supposedly living far above his means and may have had drug connections, but Ford isn't convinced Johnson took his own life. The Camel Club is conducting their own investigation, and before long they realize they've got a massive conspiracy on their hands, one that could affect the global political arena. Baldacci is a master at building suspense, and the conclusion of his latest novel will leave readers breathless

msjoanna's reveal:

Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim by David Sedaris



From Publishers Weekly
In his latest collection, Sedaris has found his heart. This is not to suggest that the author of Me Talk Pretty One Day and other bestselling books has lost his edge. The 27 essays here (many previously published in Esquire, G.Q. or the New Yorker, or broadcast on PRI's This American Life) include his best and funniest writing yet. Here is Sedaris's family in all its odd glory. Here is his father dragging his mortified son over to the home of one of the most popular boys in school, a boy possessed of "an uncanny ability to please people," demanding that the boy's parents pay for the root canal that Sedaris underwent after the boy hit him in the mouth with a rock. Here is his oldest sister, Lisa, imploring him to keep her beloved Amazon parrot out of a proposed movie based on his writing. ("'Will I have to be fat in the movie?' she asked.") Here is his mother, his muse, locking the kids out of the house after one snow day too many, playing the wry, brilliant commentator on his life until her untimely death from cancer. His mother emerges as one of the most poignant and original female characters in contemporary literature. She balances bitter and sweet, tart and rich—and so does Sedaris, because this is what life is like. "You should look at yourself," his mother says in one piece, as young Sedaris crams Halloween candy into his mouth rather than share it. He does what she says and then some, and what emerges is the deepest kind of humor, the human comedy.

----------------------------------

I really enjoyed this book. I listened to it on CD then reread my favorite essays. David Sedaris has an amazing ability to make the daily events of a regular life seem hilarious and meaningful at the same time. Definitely recommended.

Ace, Your turn!!! Whose's reveal would you like to see or would you like to steal????

No problem, maybe next time. :)

I'm going to bed. I will check in before work.

Morning :coffee:

Morning - I better decide on a reveal I suppose :lol:

yes me too. :rolleyes:
so hard

Hi all checking in will try and be back later xxxx

:peek: Hmmm! It's a loooong time before I have to worry about moves :o

aren't you playing now? :erm:
Or I see you are at the end.
Maybe more people will join babe

just a quick :peek: ---- :( Can't sleep ----- :wave: be back later!

I love this book!

Now done - my reveal is sent!

:wave: morning!

Good morning! :coffee:

My alarm clock did't ring and I am at home by the time I should already be at the office for 20 minutes! I'll hurry and post my reveal when I get there! :runaway:

Seeya!

I'm going to work. I'll check in during my lunch period.

lol. morning stella. Racing Stella that is :rolleyes:

Well I think I know which book to reveal. it is sto stupid I have so many great books but as always I must take care of the weight.
Otherwise I have to pay 13 euros shipping which is 19 dollars. :ph34r:
You can buy 2 New books for that in America (9.22645 GBP)

It sucks though. I have so many great books but I must make sure it does not weigh to much. :cry: If it is under 500 grams and above 250 it is 8 euros which is nearly 12 dollars.
so if I find a mass paperback then I pay (To US) 7,50 dollars, which is do-able.

On the other hand. The next swap will be in 2008.
Oh what to do, what to do. decisions. Man O Man :rolleyes: :lol:

I know what you mean Marleney but if it's too big you could mooch a copy to be sent direct? Sometimes that works out cheaper for me. Although I can never seem to mooch, but I send via Ebay direct :)

Okay. Pm sent , because I wonder how you will be sure they have the book you are offering on ebay or BM.

I always manage to find it somewhere :)

Thanks babe.
Big hug :hug:

On Bree's recommendation, I will steal

will do update
