Stellarv! You're first!! Who would you like to reveal??

:peep:

:D Thanks to hoserlauren for the snazzy layout that I "borrowed" from the non-fiction swap!

I'll be sending a PM to stellarv and sending out my own reveal.

See you in the morning! :wave:

:bananahop:

I'll send my reveal in the morning. Too tired to organize it tonight.

I have reveals for Vegan and Giz.

:peek:
Checking in

Morning!!! Looking forward to this. :wave:

Off to work now!

:wave: morning

Love the picture of your daughter, Sunny.

Yay, we're starting... soon-ish!

Morning. Yes I love that picture too.
My Gosh I am third? :blink:

Site is still slow . I just go do something else while waiting to post
Still have to decide which book to go with.
Which book do I really want to read?
Hmm the problem is, I do not owe TBR's so I read when i want to. :rolleyes: :lol:

and I cry when i want to too. ^_^

hey the site is back to its normal speed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :bananadance: :bananadance:

:peek:

It's 8.10am in Rio :rolleyes:

lol. well I think most people know when they are waiting for me , they should not expect me at 08.10. mostly not even at 09.10. :giggle:
I sleep late and long
long and late.
But Stella is not like me I reckon. :)

Good morning. I have jury duty today, so I won't likely be able to check in during the day....if only my laptop were working :shedevil:

Anyway, I'm actually hoping that I can get picked for a short trial because I'd really like to serve on a jury at least once. But they'll probably nix me because a lot of lawyers don't like lawyers on the jury.

I tried to send my reveal, but I can't tell for sure if it went through. The page hung in the "loading" phase after it was sent. I tried to send it to the folks in my sig, so if you didn't receive it, please no one ask for my reveal until I get back this evening. It'd be silly to hold up the game today for that.

x-post to the Afrikan swap as I must get going.

No, she's worse :rofl:

I have your reveal info :rolleyes:

I got your reveal too, Msjoanna. And it seems that mine went through to people too. Annoying this problem with the site at the moment - it's like having dial-up again (we've only had broadband for a few weeks and we'll never go back! Never!)
Good night all, I hope to see some stealing when I come back in the morning. :D

:coffee:

Warning -- I'm changing my reveal!! To all the people I sent it to, and who probably received it multiple times, please delete it. I'm leaving for work right now, but I will send out my new reveal around 2pm when I'm home and can check in. Sorry to be so last-minute (I thought I was so organised!) :blush:

That means we can peek after all and see your first choice? :whistle:

Joanna let us know what happened.
I am curious. (I read a lot of trial books) ;)


GG I will delete your pm although I would love to peek. :whistle:

Only for forum posts. PMs are still excruciatingly slow!


Good morning all. Checking in. I'm sending my reveal out to Sunlightbub, Krin511, KathyB, and VeganMedusa. I think that covers three distinct time zones.

10.35am in Rio :erm:

:peek: Morning!! Sunny - love the new pic of your daughter.

Morning :coffee:

And Sunny I love the new pic of your daughter too. Very adorable! :wub:

:wave:

I'm going to PM stellarv again in case my PM didn't go through last night.....very, very slow PMs last night.

However, if she's not here by noon EST (in two hours from now), please go ahead and drop her to the bottom.

I'm at work but will try to pop in later.

STELLA!!! She's online, looking Swap forum last 15 min... :whip:
(I will have to go soon)

I see Stella! :wave: I sent her an email just in case the PMs here weren't going through. :wink:

i'm looking at her last 10 min hitting F5 ... it must be very difficult decision to her :rofl:

People, sorry. Internet connection is terrible at work today!

Before it falls again, I'd like to see msjoanna's reveal, please!

msjoanna's reveal:

The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield



From Publishers Weekly
Former academic Setterfield pays tribute in her debut to Brontë and du Maurier heroines: a plain girl gets wrapped up in a dark, haunted ruin of a house, which guards family secrets that are not hers and that she must discover at her peril. Margaret Lea, a London bookseller's daughter, has written an obscure biography that suggests deep understanding of siblings. She is contacted by renowned aging author Vida Winter, who finally wishes to tell her own, long-hidden, life story. Margaret travels to Yorkshire, where she interviews the dying writer, walks the remains of her estate at Angelfield and tries to verify the old woman's tale of a governess, a ghost and more than one abandoned baby. With the aid of colorful Aurelius Love, Margaret puzzles out generations of Angelfield: destructive Uncle Charlie; his elusive sister, Isabelle; their unhappy parents; Isabelle's twin daughters, Adeline and Emmeline; and the children's caretakers. Contending with ghosts and with a (mostly) scary bunch of living people, Setterfield's sensible heroine is, like Jane Eyre, full of repressed feeling—and is unprepared for both heartache and romance. And like Jane, she's a real reader and makes a terrific narrator. That's where the comparisons end, but Setterfield, who lives in Yorkshire, offers graceful storytelling that has its own pleasures.
------------------------------------
I hope not everyone has already read this one at this point. I've been looking at it every time I turn on my computer (it's been sitting on a pile near the desk) and longing to pick it up, but forcing myself to stick to my owed TBRs and books for exchange partners. Now I can happily dive in.

It's the "no-guilt" Mt. TBR swap!!!!!

Liz!
You're second!! Steal (already) or reveal??

I'm here but also working. Give me a few minutes to decide whose reveal to ask for.
(I've already read The Thirteenth Tale which I really liked)

:ditto:

ETA: and I emailed Marlene to say that her turn will be very soon :rolleyes:

hummmm..the person I would like a reveal from hasn't sent hers out to anyone yet

Ri :whip:

I am going to send her an email and just wait alittle while and see if she comes on. I won't hold up the swap to long before asking for someone else's reveal.

I hope thats ok.

OK I have to go now. Can't wait any longer.
See ya!

Is everyone else having issues with the PM/email system loading SLOWLY?
