KarenDawn -- the randomizer picked you!! Can't :pirate: so who should :flasher:

I have a book, so I'll go ahead and play.

:boogie: Wonderful!!

I've already sent my reveal out, I'm ready to play!

I should be sleeping, goddamn insomnia. :(

Me too.

I'm here. I will send my reveal out soon.

My reveal is sent out.

I haven't asked for a reveal in a long time! Usually I play :pirate:

Okay, since I seem to be alone here, I'm going to ask for a reveal that I have in my inbox. Eenie meenie minie mo (I've never tried spelling that out before) - Kathy!

KathyB's Reveal



The Red Thread by Roderick Townley

How do you avenge — or forgive — your own murder four hundred years after it happened?

Prompted by recurrent dreams, sixteen-year-old Dana Landgrave uncovers an ancient crime that has drawn the same souls together through three lifetimes.

There's nothing sinister about the girl's sunlit twenty-first-century American life in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Yet, centuries ago, terrible things were done — by someone she knows! Could it be her easygoing, easy-to-look-at boyfriend, Chase? Or her younger brother, Ben, who has been confined to a wheelchair since a school bus accident? What about Gianna, her inscrutable enemy on the yearbook staff? Or her eccentric psychotherapist, Dr. Sprague?

As Dana summons courage to reenter the past, each incarnation propels her to new discoveries — and new suspicions — until the threads of all three lives converge in a devastating revelation.

Can I still join?

Nursie, it's your turn! Will you start the :pirate: early or will you :flasher:

My schedule has changed a bit, and I'll be around more than I originally thought I would be. Is it possible I could still join? I don't mind being at the end.

If not, no worries. I can wait until the next one. Thanks!

The rules say:

New players can be added until 6th player's turn.

So I'll update my post to add you in, ellymae. I'll put you at the end (and if you're supposed to be randomized in, I'll leave that to Kathy)

I'm off to sleep. I'll be back first thing in the morning.

Thanks Karen. Didn't even see that; since I wasn't a player, didn't feel I needed to read those rules. LOL :giggle: Oh, and Rosie asked to play, too!

*off to find a book*

In that case, someone should add CdnBlueRose as well...

I'm here and also sent out my reveal!

What about me? :cry:

I say you can play Rosie!!!

And technically if we're just adding to the end, you should be before Kel as you asked first. :shrug:

I would like EllyMae's reveal please!

Thanks!

sent my reveal out to several people. I will check back in in a little bit!

I'm going to bed. I'll check in before work tomorrow.

Rosie got a new name??? :giggle:

Snitch by Allison van Diepen



In a school run by gangs, staying out was harder than joining. We knew who our friends were, and were careful what we said. If people thought we were haters, it would only be a matter of time...

Lines are clearly marked at South Bay High School. It's mixed territory for the Crips and the Bloods, which means the drama never stops.
Julia DiVino wants none of it. No colors, no C-Walks - it's just not her thing.
But when Eric Valienté jumps into her life, everything changes. Lines are redrawn. And then they're crossed.

Eli's reveal

Island of the Aunts by Eva Ibbotson



Description from the back cover:

Aunt Etta, Aunt Coral, and Aunt Myrtle need help caring for the mermaids, selkies, and other creatures who live on their hidden island -- and they know that adults can't be trusted. What the kindly old aunts need are a few sensible and sturdy children who can keep a secret. And while kidnapping is generally not a good idea, sometimes it just has to be done. (After all, some kids just plain need to be kidnapped.) When the newly kidnapped assistant caretakers, Minnette and Fabio, arrive on the island, all kinds of amazing and wondrous things start happening.

"Once again Ibbotson takes readers on a voyage to a place where magic is mundane and it's the people who are strange." -- The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

I'm on my way to work. I'll try to check in on my lunch period. If not it won't be until 3:30 or 4pm.

Well it was pretty late last night, so I guess she did :lol: My thanks to whoever fixed it.
