KathyB's Reveal



You Suck by Christopher Moore (TBR)

Being dead sucks. Make that being undead sucks.

Literally. Just ask Thomas C. Flood. Waking up after a fantastic night unlike anything he's ever experienced, he discovers that his girlfriend, Jody—the woman of his dreams—is a vampire. And surprise! Now he's one, too.

For some couples, the whole biting-and-blood thing would have been a deal breaker. But Tommy and Jody are in love, and they vow to work through their issues. Like how much Jody should teach Tommy about his new superpowers (and how much he needs to learn on his own). Plus there's Tommy's cute new minion, sixteen-year-old goth girl Abby Normal. (Well, someone has to run errands during daylight hours!)

Making the relationship work, however, is the least of Jody and Tommy's problems. Word has it that the vampire who nibbled on Jody wasn't supposed to be recruiting any new members into the club. Even worse, Tommy's erstwhile turkey-bowling pals are out to get him, at the urging of a blue-dyed Las Vegas call girl named (duh) Blue.

And that really sucks.

BLUE CAT!! You're up! Would you like to steal or reveal??

BTW, if someone takes my raided book out of play before I get to play I will be very :rant: and then I will have to :shedevil: you

Wow! The randomizer liked me this time!

Good Night

I like the juxtaposition of your message with the cheery snowman avatar. :rofl:

That's not too nice :(

:rofl:

They're just jealous 'cause you're first.

Oohhh ... we've started!!! I guess I'll be checking in every 5 minutes given my position in the playing order :wink: .

Though it DOES appear that every other player has sent me their reveal - so I'll be in and out to keep an eye on things :giggle:

You're a convenient time zone to cover, for sure :giggle:

I'm all excited 'cause already one of my wishlist books has been revealed :lol: This is a good portend for the swap :wink:

I guess I'm officially checking in and confirming here. I exist! and I'm playing! Yeah! Reveal is out with peeps, listed in my signature.

:lmao: :hug:

I am going to sleep. Since I am early up, my one move is OK to use!

well you asked for it :lol:

Checking in!

:peek:

:yawn: :coffee:

:peek: Saturday night, the boy is in bed, it's movie night! I'll check in again before bed.

:wave: Morning

I'd like to see CdnBlueRoses reveal please. I am afraid we'll have to wait until those Northern Americans get up! :P

Rosie's reveal:

A Singular Hostage by Thalassa Ali

BXing link: http://www.bookcrossing.com/journal/5052570



From Publishers Weekly
What's a Victorian girl to do? Twenty years old, not quite beautiful, more interested in military history than in conventional female doings, Mariana Givens sets off for India with Gov.-Gen. Lord Auckland's enormous party in hopes of finding a husband. Several eligible British officers are ready to propose, but Mariana would rather study Urdu with wise Munshi Sahib or hang out with the elephants. The officers are weepy or large-eared, except for Harry Fitzgerald, who turns out not to be eligible, after all. It's the eponymous hostage who steals her heart: Saboor, a luminous infant who was kidnapped by the ailing, one-eyed Maharajah Ranjit Singh, ruler of the Punjab, whom Lord Auckland is on his way to meet. After Saboor's mother is poisoned, Mariana is readily enlisted to return Saboor to his father, Hassan Sahib. Will she come to love Hassan as much as she loves Saboor? Although the ending is inconclusive, suggesting a sequel (one is in the works; called A Beggar at the Gate, it will be published in 2003), Mariana is unlikely to return to flower-arranging in Sussex. Sometimes lyrical and zippy, sometimes predictable and plodding, this richly populated novel is notable for an odd combination of strengths: a compelling mysticism, a convincing historicity and a flare for slapstick comedy sending up both the Indian and British patriarchies. Old-time Olympia Press readers will warm to the hair-waxing scene as Mariana is prepared for a sham (or is it?) wedding to Hassan.

Ah I don't have that one.

Geishabird's Reveal:



Survivor by Chuck Palahniuk (TBR)

A morbidly fascinating black fantasy about a young cult member's rise to fame and his fall from grace...

When an airliner goes down, the first thing the authorities look for amid the wreckage is the black box that contains a recording of the pilot's last words, which are usually grim but fairly restrained - almost always because the pilot doesn't expect (almost always) to die. Tender Branson's situation is unusual: the last survivor of an obscure American religion known as the Creedish Death Cult, he is dictating his confession into the black box of a 747 that he knows will soon crash somewhere over the Australian outback. What you've found, he declares, is the story of what went wrong. That's putting it softly. Like all Creedalists, Branson, raised for a life of obscure service to strangers, chose to hire himself out as an unpaid domestic while still in his teens. Probably he would have spent his life keeping house for the yuppie vulgarians who took him in, but an FBI raid on the Creedish Church compound in Nebraska resulted in a mass suicide within the cult. Since then, surviving Creedalists living in the field have been killing themselves on a regular basis, so that Branson is soon the only Creedalist left. As such, he becomes a genuine celebrity, complete with an agent who gets him book contracts, movie deals - and with a good lawyer intent on winning him uncontested title to all Creedish Church properties. A marriage is arranged for him...and televised live from the Super Bowl during halftime. But things turn sour when evidence mounts that many of the suicides were, in fact, murders - and that Branson's brother Adam may still be alive. Is Branson a serial killer? Or Adam? Can they ever lead a normal life again? Brilliant, engrossing, substantial, and fun: Palahniuk carves out credible, moving dramas from situations that seemed simply outlandish and sad on the evening news.

Night all, have fun.
