EllyMae - Randomizer loved you best! Start when you are ready.

Wow! :o I am first???? I guess the randomizer got tired of dumping on me, and decided I should be favored for a change!! LOL

Whenever she wanders in here, I think I'll ask for our hostess to reveal. :grin:
KathyB, show yourself! :flasher:

Oh, I have Kathy's reveal but I can wait for a bit to see if she shows up first. I'll wait an hour or so before revealing her.

GACK! We've started? I'd better send out my reveal! :lol:

In my opinion being first is not necessarily being favored! :lol:

KathyB's Reveal



Polly by Amy Bryant

2007 Advanced Readers Copy - paperback

If you're looking for Polly Clark, she'll be the girl wearing Doc Martens and a Bad Brains T-shirt at the punk show. She'll be (almost) losing her virginity to a high school dropout, accompanied by the Beastie Boys' "No Sleep Till Brooklyn." She'll be looking for her artistic soul while trying to solve the mysteries of guys, life, her seriously dysfunctional family . . . and herself. In eight chapters, Polly is shaped by eight relationships in this honest, tender, original, and utterly endearing story of one girl's stumbles and successes in the world of punked-out 1980s suburban romance -- the unforgettable debut of an extraordinary new voice in contemporary fiction.

Books! Your reveal is needed!!

I sent my reveal to Kathy, Kel, Sejent, & Amber.

Am now going back to bed.

Got it! I hope you feel better soon! :hug:

I have my book chosen (and it is not a TBR! WooHoo) I will prepare and send off my reveal tomorrow first thing in the morning.

Hi everyone :wave:

Sorry I didn't know we started. Let me go make sure of the title of my book. BRB

I'm heading to bed. I doubt I'll be needed anytime soon, so I'm not going to leave any moves.

Goodnight!

My reveal:



Published: May 2004
From Publishers Weekly
The normally stable father of high school junior Jordan becomes involved with a married woman, then kills someone. Told as a flashback through Jordan's first-person narrative (although Jordan does not reveal at the beginning who dies), the novel takes place during the summer on a fictional island in western Washington. Debut YA novelist Caletti peoples Jordan's world with fascinating characters, including a hippie mother who runs a bed and breakfast with her kinetic artist husband, and her best friend, status-focused Melissa, who works with Jordan at a weight loss center run by an eccentric Christian couple. Jordan herself can be funny, making light of her situation with caustic remarks ("He was an optometrist for God's sake" she says when people ask her what her murderous father was like), and also vulnerable ("That's not what people want to hear-that my father was just a normal guy whom I loved, love, with all my heart") as she leads readers carefully towards her eventual realization of her own identity. She also weaves in pieces of advice she's picked up from Big Mama, a wise, warm-hearted fishery worker who often incorporates salmon into her lessons. Two subplots involving Jordan's romantic interests create unnecessary distractions, but captivating details make this scandalous story seem all too real, and Jordan's magnetic voice marks Caletti as a writer to watch. Ages 12-up.

Oh and it's TBR, sorry...but I will read it quick. Starting tonight. I will PM next up.

Sorry about that, I would like to see Ellymae's reveal, please.

Elly Mae's reveal!

Hellbent by Anthony McGowan



Conor O'Neil is in Hell. No, really. While chasing his dog, he got run over by an ice cream truck, and now he's sentenced to eternal damnation. He's stuck in a corner of Hell specifically designed for his maximum torture - lined with bookshelves and droning educational radio programs. Then he realizes that his personal version of Hell might be someone else's idea of Heaven - and vice versa. He sets out on a filthy, funny, and forbidden journey to search for his opposite number, accompanied by his repulsive pet dog, a depressed cross-dressing Viking, and Clarence, his personal devil. Can he do it? Conor is hellbent on finding out.

EllyMae, I've got your pretty Polly! Get your teen on! you're up!!

:pm: to Elly, btw.

I'm actually glad you took my pretty Polly, GG, 'cause I already have it!! :wink:

Let me look at reveals so far, and then think about what to do. BRB.

checking in. I should be around all day

Okay, well, looking at the reveal thread didn't help any, 'cause one reveal is mine and the other two I have! :rofl:

Fantasy, since you are here, why don't you reveal your pretty self to me??? :wink:

Bathing, eating & watching TV!

Sounds like an Amberkatze problem to me. That is usually what happens to her during swaps.

Funny that you already have Polly cause I thought of you when I picked it out thinking it would be one you were interested in and I guess I was right cause you already have it :rofl:

You sure about that Kel? If you think about it, you already know what I'm offering.... :whistle: I'll give you a minute to reconsider!!

All righty then!

We'll ask Boomda to reveal. :lol:

Oh, I have Boomda's. BRB.
