Good morning! I think I'd like to see what Pepper has for us.

PepperVL - April 16, 2008 11:19 AM (GMT)
Fudge. I hadn't prepared my reveal yet.

My book is His Magesty's Dragon by Naomi Novik.

I'm off to work and don't have time to get a description or picture. I'll get it at lunch if I can get on or after work if I can't. Sorry.

Blood Engines by T.A. Pratt

Meet Marla Mason–smart, saucy, slightly wicked witch of the East Coast.…

Sorcerer Marla Mason, small-time guardian of the city of Felport, has a big problem. A rival is preparing a powerful spell that could end Marla’s life–and, even worse, wreck her city. Marla’s only chance of survival is to boost her powers with the Cornerstone, a magical artifact hidden somewhere in San Francisco. But when she arrives there, Marla finds that the quest isn’t going to be quite as cut-and-dried as she expected…and that some of the people she needs to talk to are dead. It seems that San Francisco’s top sorcerers are having troubles of their own–a mysterious assailant has the city’s magical community in a panic, and the local talent is being (gruesomely) picked off one by one.

With her partner-in-crime, Rondeau, Marla is soon racing against time through San Francisco’s alien streets, dodging poisonous frogs, murderous hummingbirds, cannibals, and a nasty vibe from the local witchery, who suspect that Marla herself may be behind the recent murders. And if Marla doesn’t figure out who is killing the city’s finest in time, she’ll be in danger of becoming a magical statistic herself.

I'm heading out for lunch! I keep forgetting that this isn't Saturday, since I actually took a few days off, and I'm like, where is everyone?! :lol:

Gonna go have Thai food at the Bangkok buffet! WOO! I don't get to have it nearly as often since I don't work right next door anymore!

Whew! This is the first chance I've had to check in all day. I'm glad no one's been waiting on me.

And I've been revealed! Yay! I'm in the middle of the book right now and it's pretty good so far. :)

DragonGoddess - April 16, 2008 07:33 PM (GMT)
Getting ready to head out and pick up the daughter from school, and then I'll be out for most of the evening (may try and make a couple quick peeks), but will try and check in before bed.

Shaunie's Reveal :tada:

Dead to Me - Anton Strout (reading now)


A new urban fantasy featuring a man working on the right side of law-with talents that come from left field.

Psychometry-the power to touch an object and divine information about its history-has meant a life of petty crime for Simon Canderous, but now he's gone over to the good side. At New York's underfunded and (mostly) secret Department of Extraordinary Affairs, he's learning about red tape, office politics, and the basics of paranormal investigation. But it's not the paperwork that has him breathless.

After Simon spills his coffee on (okay, through) the ghost of a beautiful woman-who doesn't know she's dead-he and his mentor plan to find her killers. But Simon's not prepared for the nefarious plot that unfolds before him, involving politically correct cultists, a large wooden fish, a homicidal bookcase, and the forces of Darkness, which kind of have a crush on him.

Speaking of... here you go!

Aerial combat brings a thrilling new dimension to the Napoleonic Wars as valiant warriors rise to Britain’s defense by taking to the skies . . . not aboard aircraft but atop the mighty backs of fighting dragons.

When HMS Reliant captures a French frigate and seizes its precious cargo, an unhatched dragon egg, fate sweeps Capt. Will Laurence from his seafaring life into an uncertain future–and an unexpected kinship with a most extraordinary creature. Thrust into the rarified world of the Aerial Corps as master of the dragon Temeraire, he will face a crash course in the daring tactics of airborne battle. For as France’s own dragon-borne forces rally to breach British soil in Bonaparte’s boldest gambit, Laurence and Temeraire must soar into their own baptism of fire.

DragonGoddess - April 16, 2008 10:21 PM (GMT)
Can someone do the update, I'm trying to get out the door...thanks!

Rhiana by Michele Hauf

Invaded by a cavalcade of vicious dragons, the villagers of St. Rénan are snatched up when they venture beyond the walls.

Yet Rhiana Tassot — who senses the dragons from a distance, who determines their attack scent from a mating scent, who is blessed with the instincts of a dragon, who dares stand before the fiery beasts without flinching — cannot use her skills to defend her home. For the lord of St. Rénan forbids her to track the beasts — not in fear for her safety, but by some twisted desire to protect the dragons.

So conflict rages within and without the village and a long-held secret begins to stir beneath their very feet. Rhiana's knowledge of dragons is no accident — and others begin to suspect why....

It's not cheating to change your reveal as long as you have not been revealed yet. Just be sure that you send it out to people and let them know it's an update for you!

I'm out for the evening, will probably be home 11-ish? Maybe earlier, don't know. See ya'll later!

Like actual Paris, TX. Home of our very own NeedMoreZoloft. I wasn't able to catch up with her tonight since she was working late.

Paris is just about 2 hours from my home. I have a good friend who lives there and I called her yesterday to ask if we could meet for supper tonight. I had to talk my hubby into taking me up there as a consolation for cutting our vacation short.

And ... to make this an on-topic post, I'm going to steal His Majesty's Dragon from Karen.
