confirming

Since I sat up till 3 this morning playing WOW, I better set my alarm clock :lol: Will (try to) see you around 9. If not, bump me I'll be here eventually. Of course I'm next to the last as it is so the bump won't hurt too much.... oh, gotta go get some sleep. My sense of humor at this late hour is just too lame!

Present and EXCITED!! :bananadance:

Just crawled out of bed, but see I could have grabbed a few more minutes. LOL

Going to find my reveal!

I'm up and ready. Physically anyway. :rofl:

Here and ready to go!!!

Oh heck! I got up an hour early!!!

:lol: Me too! For some reason I was thinking I was 2 hours behind Shaunie...... :rolleyes:

Well looks like I can actually wake up before starting. :lol:

Be back in 45! :whistle:

I'm up and I'm dressed. Now if I can avoid falling asleep at the keyboards.... :zzz:

Ack, did anyone see where I put my coffee pot! :giggle:

No..... but when you find it I'd love a cuppa!! :wink:

Will do Rosie. This mornings choices are Pumpkin Spice, Blueberry, Pecan Torte or Cinnabon.

Ooooo...... blueberry sounds wunderbar!!! :)

Strange people...I already ate breakfast ages ago....and lunch too!! I am already thinking about my tea!!

Real quick manual poll...

do you want to leave the steals at 3, or put it up to 5?

Well since I am last I would vote 5, but that is purely selfish, so that some of the books might still be in play by the time it gets to me. :P

I don't mind either way....I am used to 5 steals...

Don't mind either way.

It doesn't really make a difference to me, but with so few players, 5 steals could potentially really extend the amount of time we end up playing..... how about 4?

I'm fine with either 3 or 5 steals. Hostess choice

true, but at 3 it could be over too fast! :lol: I was thinking 4 too, I don't know why I didn't say it! :rolleyes:

4 it is then! :D

:giggle: Whatever you want to do is FINE with me, shaunie! :kiss:

I like 4, it just always seems like such a mental adjustment to do 4 for some reason, because we're always so used to 3 or 5! :lol:

Okay, everyone, take a moment, center, focus, think 4! Breathe in, breathe out... :rofl: Remember your F5 finger stretches! :giggle:

I STILL can't decide what book to use.

Well you have about a minute to decide.... :giggle:

Has anyone heard from appa?

It's TIME! It's TIME!

Alrighty, by my clock it's time!

Terra, start us off! Who's fangs would you like to reveal? (currently Appa and Rebecca are MIA, so those two reveals are not available)

GO! GO! GO!!! :bananadance:

Terra must be thinking. :giggle:

Rosie reveal please! :giggle:

I see Rebecca!

Faster Faster more more more!!

It appears that my computer time is about 3 minutes faster than the board time, interesting...

Mine too

Mine is 1 minute off.

Magic Bites by Ilona Andrews



Atlanta would be a nice place to live, if it weren't for the magic....

When the magic is up, rogue mages cast their spells and monsters appear, while guns refuse to fire and cars fail to start. But then technology returns, and the magic recedes as unpredictably as it arose, leaving all kinds of paranormal problems in its wake.

Kate Daniels is a down-on-her-luck mercenary who makes her living cleaning up these magical problems. But when Kate's guardian is murdered, her quest for justice draws her into a power struggle between two strong factions within Atlanta's magic circles.

The Masters of the Dead, necromancers who can control vampires, and the Pack, a paramilitary clan of shapechangers, blame each other for a series of bizarre killings - and the death of Kate's guardian may be part of the same mystery. Pressured by both sides to find the killer, Kate realizes she's way out of her league - but she wouldn't have it any other way....
