I adore dragons especially the green and blue ones.

CheriePie - March 15, 2008 01:08 AM (GMT)
I'm here!! :bananahop:

Just getting ready to send my reveal out now....

CheriePie - March 15, 2008 01:10 AM (GMT)
BTW, I like how you worded the rules Shaunie. You put it well what I was trying to get across in my own swap, so I might borrow your wording for numbers 5 and 6 there in the future. :grin:

elsi - March 15, 2008 01:41 AM (GMT)
I'm here. Haven't picked my reveal yet, so I'd better get to it. Fortunately I'm 2/3 of the way down the list, but that doesn't mean my reveal won't be needed sooner.

DragonGoddess - March 15, 2008 02:02 AM (GMT)
I'm here! :wave:

I will be in and out sporadically tomorrow as we are having a birthday party for my youngest. I've sent out my reveal if it's needed. I'm ready! :lol:

Lemonitsa - March 15, 2008 02:06 AM (GMT)
confirming!

:)

I'll send my reveal to a few people in a couple of minutes. Also wanted to let you know that I start work tomorrow at 9am and I won't be home until after 5pm, so I won't be checking in until then. I don't think my turn will come up before then.

I'll leave a couple of moves in my sig, just in case. :lol:

:hug: to you all, I'm off to read a little and get some sleep. I did the splits in the snow and landed on my knee :cry: It's been killing me for the past couple of days and for some reason I feel it more at night. I haven't been sleeping too well.

(It did get me out of running around today, so I'm not complaining too much!)

CheriePie - March 15, 2008 02:15 AM (GMT)
Terra or Shaunie, if you're waiting for Lexie's reveal, you might want to PM her to make sure she remembers this swap. Cuz I know she's had so much going on that she'd forgotten about the PUF swap last weekend...

Lemonitsa - March 15, 2008 02:18 AM (GMT)
'K

my sig is updated.
see you tomorrow afternoon!

:sleep: I'm off to bed. See yah all in the morn.

redhot-brat - March 15, 2008 04:09 AM (GMT)
I'm headed out to bed..... bit of a stress headache tonight. I'll get my reveal out as soon as I get up/get a chance to get to the comp tomorrow. :wave:

elsi - March 15, 2008 04:13 AM (GMT)
Night all.

teachie - March 15, 2008 07:01 AM (GMT)
OOH Lovely! This is all set up and ready to go! Thank you so much oh Great Randomiser. :worship: :worship: :worship:

Xeyra - March 15, 2008 10:37 AM (GMT)
Hey guys. I'm probably not going to be around much this afternoon (GMT) as I need to go shopping since I'm going to a wedding next week.

Not to mention I need to take my cellphone to the store to complain about it not working properly after it came back from technical assistance originally because it wasn't working properly!

I still haven't decided on a reveal so I'll try to do that this morning and send my reveal to some people. If my turn comes when I'm gone, I'll be back long before my 12 hours are up.

Xeyra - March 15, 2008 12:05 PM (GMT)
I've just sent my reveal to the people in my sig. And, as if all this didn't make it clear, I'm confirming. :P

lexilewords - March 15, 2008 12:58 PM (GMT)
i'm here, I didn't forget cherie :( I had no internet last weekend until two days after the swap started... :blush:

I won't be avail at all today, I'm actually going to get into trouble with the guy for being on right now (his computer is sacred now that its new and spiffy and so enhanced it could be a war machine...) should he find out, since I'm at boyfriend's all day. I'll be back sometime after noon tomorrow, so just bump me until then.

give me five minutes and I'll get my reveal together (I have it, just not put together).

Lexie

Lexie's Reveal:

Title: the Bone Doll's Twin (Tamir Trilogy Book 1)
By: Lynn Flewelling

user posted image

Description:
Dark Magic, Hidden Destiny

Sometimes the price of destiny is higher than anyone imagined....

For three centuries a divine prophecy and a line of warrior queens protected Skala. But the people grew complacent and Erius, a usurper king, claimed his young half sister?s throne.

Now plague and drought stalk the land, war with Skala's ancient rival Plenimar drains the country's lifeblood, and to be born female into the royal line has become a death sentence as the king fights to ensure the succession of his only heir, a son. For King Erius the greatest threat comes from his own line and from Illior's faithful, who spread the Oracle?s words to a doubting populace.

As noblewomen young and old perish mysteriously, the king's nephew, his sister's only child ? grows toward manhood. But unbeknownst to the king or the boy, strange, haunted Tobin is the princess's daughter, given male form by a dark magic to protect her until she can claim her rightful destiny.

Only Tobin's noble father, two wizards of Illior, and an outlawed forest witch know the truth. Only they can protect young Tobin from a king's wrath, a mother's madness, and the terrifying rage of her brother's demon spirit, determined to avenge his brutal murder....

Shaunie's reveal:

Magic Bites - Ilona Andrews (TBR) (Kate Daniels #1)

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 it's 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...

Xeyra - March 15, 2008 06:48 PM (GMT)
Whoa, wishlist book. Just see how long I'll keep that one.

:whip:

CheriePie - March 15, 2008 06:55 PM (GMT)
Are you updating Xeyra? I guess we need to be bumping Lexie down a few spots since she isn't going to be back until tomorrow afternoon.
