elsi!
You may start the game!

I'm PMing everyone to inform them that the game is about to start and that should send their reveal!

Enjoy folks ... am so sorry I can't be part of the fun ...

Wow! I'm honored. Let me quickly put together my reveal and send it out and then I'll come back and see whose reveal I'd like to see.

Please drop me from the swap Milan. Sorry my mom is still here and frankly even though she'll be gone Sat. morning. I'm not in a good place right now to feel like swapping. Sorry. :(

OK I PMed everyone so hopefully everyone will find PM in their inbox about the beginning of the swap and reminder to send their reveal (if they didn't so far).
Have fun, I'll peek if I have a chance!
:wave:

I'm sorry to hear that cheesy. I hope things will soon be better :hug:
(um ... you don't mean "place" on the list, right? :erm:)

:w00t: I'm number 5.....prime swapping ahead! :w00t:

I'll send my reveal out once the kiddos are in bed (in an hour or two). I'm hoping that my book will be :drool: worthy.

We've started??? But I didn't think we were beginning until the weekend!

Hells bells... better get my reveal out!

Having not participated in a swap with Therubycanary, I'm going to call for her/his reveal.

Checking in! I still have to decide on a book to reveal, so I'll get that organised and send it out ASAP.

My swap reveal is with Amberkatze, KathyB and da Brat.

Therubycanary is she :)
She's one of three BookCrossers (and two BOers) I've met in real live. She's from USA and was my guest here in Serbia for two weeks in January :)
I sent her an e-mail about her reveal just in case.

Oh my goodness! I am last! Oh well, lots of time to plot and plan. I am off to prepare and send off my reveal!

Ok... reveals out.... one in.... and time for me to go to work!

Hello All,

Well, I am an unprepared girl. But I'm excited about this one.



Unbowed
Wangari Maathai

From Booklist
*Starred Review* The mother of three, the first woman in East and Central Africa to earn a doctorate, and the first African woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, Wangari Maathai of Kenya understands how the good earth sustains life both as a biologist and as a Kikuyu woman who, like generations before her, grew nourishing food in the rich soil of Kenya's central highlands. In her engrossing and eye-opening memoir, a work of tremendous dignity and rigor, Maathai describes the paradise she knew as a child in the 1940s, when Kenya was a "lush, green, fertile" land of plenty, and the deforested nightmare it became. Discriminated against as a female university professor, Maathai has fought hard for women's rights. And it was women she turned to when she undertook her mission to restore Kenya's decimated forests, launching the Green Belt Movement and providing women with work planting trees. Maathai's ingenious, courageous, and tenacious activism led to arrests, beatings, and death threats, and yet she and her tree-planting followers remained unbowed. Currently Kenya's deputy minister for the environment and natural resources, Nobel laureate, visionary, and hero, Maathai has restored humankind's innate if nearly lost knowledge of the intrinsic connection between thriving, wisely managed ecosystems and health, justice, and peace.

In case someone doesn't know (or has forgot) 12 hours rule is strict rule! I didn't mention that earlier since I thought everyone knows but I've been asked to stress that here on the beginning! Thanks!

Looks great!
I don't think it's smart for me to look what books has been revealed :(

terra57!
Your turn and already opportunity to steal! Or is it gonna be reveal?

I'm so sad you aren't playing ZZZ. :hugz:

and I'm sad as well :(
But what is making my heart happy is to see how fun you guys are having ( :blink: gosh I can't believe I wrote that :lol:! what a horrible cliché :sick: )

Me too. But, Easter with the family is a nice consolation prize.

My reveal is with Amberkatze, Lmn60 and gategypsy

Most definitively! Can't wait! :boogie:
I love Easter and I'll finally see my family members (all in one place)!

What a bummer you aren't playing ZZZ. We will try to have extra amounts of fun in your honor. :hug:

I'm getting my reveal together and on it's way out in a few mins.

Terra I accidently opened your reveal, but didn't see what it was. I clicked on it instead of ZZZ's note by mistake. :unsure: Sorry!

TheRubyCanary I love your avatar! Such a lovely memory!!! :cheers:

ETA:
That's it. I'm having a drink right now!

I'm sad you're not playing too, zzz.... Especially as my book is on your wishlist!!

Mwahhhhhhaaaahhaa! :evil: (There... over your sentiment now???)

<_< lmn you are thrid person who told me that is offering book from my wish list in this swap (+ I just added Unbowed) :whip:
Or maybe all of you are offering the same book :erm: (fingers crossed) :lol:

lmn,

did you receive my reveal?

I sent it to you, scifisstrs, and xallroyx.

Yea, I love that picture. We're a happy and handsome bunch of people I must say. :kiss:

yes we are! :wink:
I realized I don't have beer in the fridge but I DO have Pelinkovac (remember that dark drink?) which is even better in this hour :)

I thought this was next week. Well it may be my turn by then!!! I'll get my reveal together!

OK bed time for me (almost 3.00am!). Ciao ragazzi! :rolleyes:

:peek: I'm here! Glad to see we have started.

Good night. I do remember that drink, it even grew on me by the end of the stay. :wink:

I've updated my siggie with details on who has my reveal.

I just noticed this started, and I'd totally forgotten about it. I'm not even sure I could find a good book to play with at the last minute now. Plus like Cheesy, I haven't been in a very good place lately. Things were starting to get better, but then every time I turn around someone else is hating on me so I'm not really up to playing. Sowwie.

nwpassage
luckaye
amberkatze
xeyra
CheriePie

All should have received my reveal!

reveal is out! I sent it to therubycanary, lmn60, CheriePie, Amberkatze, & boomda181. I also have received KathyB, Rootmartin, and Boomda181's reveals. All that info is in my sig.

I'm around -- cooking, eventually eating... maybe reading... I wrote two exams today so I'm trying to unwind.

I've sent my reveal to azuki, CheriePie, lmn60, Marlene, nimrodiel & noumena12... I'm a little nervous about it, but I guess we will just have to see... I hope there's at least a few people who like it! :P :lol:

I'm heading off to :sleep:

See you all in the morning!

And to those who will be going to the convention.... :neener: You don't get to play with us! :neener:
