KathyB! Whose TBR would you like to reveal?

rootmartin - February 28, 2008 11:02 PM (GMT)
I sent a PM to KathyB.

I'll be out for a few hours tonight but will send my reveal out once I get home!

This is going to be so much fun! :bananadance:

CdnBlueRose - February 28, 2008 11:28 PM (GMT)
Oh-oh, it appears I have pissed off the Great Swap Gods! :lol: I guess it was my turn as I've been pretty lucky with positioning the last couple of swaps I took part in! I AM looking forward to this one - seeing what people have chosen! I'll send my reveal out shortly.

ETA: I've sent my reveal to Giz, wss4, EllyMae, and Xeyra - tried to send to luckaye as well but her mailbox is full!! :giggle:

CheriePie - February 28, 2008 11:30 PM (GMT)
Oh no! I guess I better get whittled down from the 9 I have on my list.

Was going to do the whole searching thing to make sure I'm not using something that everyone else has already read and that at least a few people would love to have.

But I also have to get my Idol picks on whose leaving this week in within the next half hour as well. (I think I've finally managed to get that whittled down to Jason Yaeger, Luke Menard, Amanda Overmyer and Kady Malloy.) :lol:

I guess it's another "down at the bottom" party for us, Rosie! :bash:

Danesnboxers - February 29, 2008 12:09 AM (GMT)
Cool we're starting early. I've sent my reveal to Brat, Breeze and Sunny, ramson too I think.

I was in the "down at the bottom" party last swap with Ri. So I'm glad I'm now partying with Kathy in the upper echelon. :lol: :wink:

Breeze - February 29, 2008 12:26 AM (GMT)
:wave: I'm here! Busy finishing an assignment! Will update my sig with the reveals I have and send out my own reveal tonight or bright and early tomorrow morning!!!

msjoanna - February 29, 2008 12:28 AM (GMT)
Well, I guess I can check back in a week or two...:rofl:

It's a rocking good time down at the end though.

Danesnboxers - February 29, 2008 12:29 AM (GMT)
luckaye, I need your address. I tried to PM you but your mailbox must be overflowing. :D

terra57 - February 29, 2008 12:30 AM (GMT)
Yay we're starting and I'm in a good spot. It's about time I say. :giggle:

AM10000 - February 29, 2008 12:32 AM (GMT)
I finally decided on a book! :) So hard to choose...and it isn't on my bookcrossing shelf, so, no need trying to figure out what it might be! :lol:

I've seriously spent hours...First I was randomizing and looking at the randomizer number then looking at the corresponding number on my paperbackswap TBR list..got some ideas..but decided to go with something completely different from those... :wacko:

All the cool people are at the bottom, y'know... :D

I'm actually kind of glad I'm far down since I'll be kind of busy this weekend. I'll be peeking in though!

Oh yeah, I need a reveal...I'll sort that out tonight.

CheriePie - February 29, 2008 01:00 AM (GMT)
Hmmm... I wonder if Melissa considered upping it to 6 steals. I feel bad for y'all down the bottom if you see stuff you want and it's gone before we even get halfway through. :cry:

With as many people as is in this swap, I'd have 6 steals, for sure.


I'm going to get Rosie's reveal for Kathy.

Rosie reveals:


Don't Die Dragonfly

user posted image


After getting kicked out of school and sent to live with her grandmother, Sabine Rose is determined to become a "normal" teenage girl. She hides her psychic powers from everyone, even from her grandmother Nona, who also has "the gift." Having a job at the school newspaper and friends like Penny-Love, a popular cheerleader, have helped Sabine fit in at her new school. She has even managed to catch the eye of the adorable Josh DeMarco.

Yet, Sabine can't seem to get the bossy voice of Opal, her spirit guide, out of her head . . . or the disturbing images of a girl with a dragonfly tattoo. Suspected of a crime she didn't commit, Sabine must find the strength to defend herself and, later, save a friend from certain danger.

GateGypsy - February 29, 2008 01:06 AM (GMT)
Oh, hey! I just realized I ought to check in :lol: I've got my night class tonight and I work tomorrow, but I don't see too much chance of trouble -- I'm not at the bottom of the list, but my turn won't come that soon.

:cherry: CHERIEPIE! The apple of my eye!! It's your turn! Do you want to steal :pirate: or reveal? :flasher:

Danesnboxers - February 29, 2008 01:13 AM (GMT)
I managed to make a bag of microwave popcorn without burning my microwave up. :rofl: I think the microwave still smelled a little from the last bag though. :huh:

cheesygiraffe - February 29, 2008 01:19 AM (GMT)
Whoa! How'd I miss sign ups for this swap? :blink: Oh well too many people for me to think about playing plus too much going on in RL to even consider it. :sigh:

Lizabeth86 - February 29, 2008 01:20 AM (GMT)
I just noticed Melissa's update on the rules about the Bxing link. I have my own opinion on these new rules that I'll keep to myself but I had already sent out my reveal before I saw the update so the people I sent my reveal to won't have link. Sorry.

Don't Die Butterfly

Heh, i remember seeing this one on Rosie's TBR list as I was going through it and was considering writing it down.

I'm watching Idol right now so I can only check in between commercials. I'm going to read up on this one and see if I wanna steal from Kathy or ask for a reveal, so you'll have to wait for a bit....

oh crud, I didn't read the rules either. I'll make sure that it's included in the reveal thread though.

Breeze - February 29, 2008 01:29 AM (GMT)
Is it Butterfly or Dragonfly?

Looks like Dragon on the cover...:shrug:

Breeze - February 29, 2008 01:30 AM (GMT)
And I just got to thinking...I'm leaving in 10 days...what are the chances of this being over by then? Slim to none I'm guessing!

Guess I'll have to ask someone to play on my behalf!

To be honest, I didn't pay attention to the cover. I just copied what she had in her reveal. I'll fix it.

Actually that's something Rosie added in (and PMed root to let her know). It's one of the things we'll be needing going forward relating to the Owed Books tracking. (But do hold comments on that until the relevant thread is posted in the next few days.)


So ummm.... Kathy I hope you didn't get too attached to that book, because with the dragonfly on the cover, and all the purple, I just can't resist. Purple and Dragonflies. Mmmmmm user posted image

I'm stealing Don't Die Dragonfly from Kathy!! :pirate:

I would usually just say heck ya but now not only is my nephew in the hospital, my mother in law just went to the ER. I don't know what's going on for sure with her. :(

Danesnboxers - February 29, 2008 01:43 AM (GMT)
I've read the rules. I think I am going to drop out of this swap and others for the time being and rethink everything but the SSS.
