I used the randomizer and this is the order we've got! So, we've got a twelve hour waiting period. When it is your turn, you will receive a PM. If you have not made a move in 12 hours, you will be bumped to the bottom. There is a maximum of 5 steals on this one. It's not mandatory to leave moves in your signature, but feel free to do so! Please do not forget to PM the next participant when you have finished your turn.

XALLY, you're up first! Who would like to see :flasher:?

Start us up when you're ready. Official timekeeping starts tomorrow. :)

* moved myself down as I don't know if I'll be able to make a move that soon and I don't want to hold up the game. :D

GateGypsy - May 9, 2008 04:45 AM (GMT)
I'm checking in to confirm I'm playing. I already sent my reveal out. However, I am going to bed. :lol: I have to be up to do an open tomorrow morning. I will check in when I wake up tomorrow morning.

nursiegirl42 - May 9, 2008 04:51 AM (GMT)
I sent my reveal to SimplyCee and GateGypsy!

GateGypsy - May 9, 2008 12:14 PM (GMT)
Checking in. I work a full shift today and then have a million errands to do. There is a really good chance I won't be back 'til after six this evening. Of course, if my turn comes up before then, then there's something very wrong 'cause there isn't enough stealing going on! I will not leave a move, in hopes that stealing will occur and I will simply have to wait for another day for my turn to come around. Have fun playing, girls! I'll check in this evening.

xallroyx - May 9, 2008 01:34 PM (GMT)
I'll ask for SimplyCee's reveal!

Split Ends by Kristin Billerbeck

She's armed--with hot irons, sharp shears, and a flair for color.

She's dangerous--truly bad news for bad hair.

And she's going to do whatever it takes to make a place for herself in the exclusive Beverly Hills salon.

Even if that means sweeping hair, emptying trash, scrubbing dummy heads, and making soy lattes for the stars that come to Yoshi's salon.

Even if it means hiding the fact that she's not really an up-and-comer from New York, but a drunk's daughter from small-town Wyoming.

Even if it means igoring her attraction to a tall, dark stranger in a fedora who just stepped off the elevator...and into her heart.

But can a talented hairdresser from the sticks really make it in image-obsessed L.A.? And can she ever find true love and real success in a town that wrote the book on fake?

boomda181 - May 9, 2008 08:20 PM (GMT)

Exes and Ohs by Beth Kendrick!!

http://bookcrossing.com/journal/5708815

Child psychologist Gwen has met the perfect man. Alex is gorgeous, sensitive, and wealthy. He is so perfect that Gwen is expecting a catch. Enter her new patient, five-year-old Leo, who turns out to be Alex's son with his glamorous actress ex-girlfriend, Harmony. Gwen is devastated. After all, when her fiance dumped her for his ex, she vowed never to trust a man with an ex around. In this case, her fears are well founded--Alex moves in with Harmony in an attempt to provide Leo with the stable home he never had himself. To further complicate matters, when Gwen starts dating a police office, she finds he's one of Harmony's exes, too. This is a novel that revolves around odd coincidences, but Kendrick's funny, light style makes these situations seem plausible. After all, everyone's roommate meets and marries an NBA star in one weekend, right? Maybe not, but this entertaining novel will have readers believing anything can happen.

[http://bookcrossing.com/journal/6111947]Girl's Guide to Witchcraft[/url]
by Mindy Klasky

Jane Madison, a somewhat timid, fashion-challenged librarian living in Washington, D.C., is none too pleased when she learns her salary is being cut by a quarter. Her supervisor eases the blow by offering to let Jane live rent-free in a small cottage on the library's property. Jane gets more than she bargained for when she discovers a hidden key that unlocks the door to the basement, which is filled with a wide array of witchcraft books. Jane is even more surprised when she recites a spell and it works, calling forth a familiar in the form of a handsome, cheeky gay man and bringing a stern but sexy warder, David, to her door, intent on helping her harness and moderate her newfound powers. Fans of Shanna Swendson's Enchanted, Inc. series will find much to love in Klasky's zesty blend of fantasy and romance as well as in her winsome heroine. Enchanted readers will also be pleased to learn that a sequel is already in the works.

Hey.. One of these days soon I'll be playing in another swap. :)

GateGypsy - May 10, 2008 01:00 AM (GMT)
awww... I just missed AM. Drat. :wave: anyway!

So we're watching Princess Bride and eating pizza for supper. Nice Friday evening, eh?

I've got to pop over to the books sent thread, but I'll keep checking in for the rest of the evening.

xallroyx - May 10, 2008 02:33 AM (GMT)
Finally able to check in!

GateGypsy - May 10, 2008 05:43 AM (GMT)
Well, it's late, and I'm sleepy and grumpy and achey, so I'm going to turn in. I'll check in the AM.

I was being the wingman for a girl. There's this guy she's interested in and he invited her to a friend's house party thing. And she wanted me to go along.

As far as I understand, the wingman is the person who is the helper in the situation. Usually, it's same sex. Actually, it's pretty much a guy thing lol.

Also, Marlene sent me a PM saying she had to withdraw from the swap.

Hi everyone, for some reason both of my computers are causing me some real issues. I couldn't log on to either one and only just got on. I still need to prepare my reveals so I am going to try and get it done quickly before this comes to a screeching halt. In the mean time I would like to steal Girl's Guide to Witchcraft from Sunny.
