cheesy's reveal:First Among Sequels by Jasper Fforde
Fourteen years after Thursday Next pegged out at Superhoop '88, her Jurisfiction job has been downgraded due to a potential conflict of interest, since her previous adventures are now themselves in print. Thursday's time is spent worrying about her teenage son Friday and tutoring new recruits. This being fiction, however, jeopardy is never far away. Sherlock Holmes is killed at the Rheinbach falls and his series is stopped in its tracks. Before this can be righted, Miss Marple dies in a narratively inexplicable car accident, bringing her series also to a close. Thursday, receiving a death-threat clearly intended for her written self, realises what is going on - there is a serial killer is loose in the Bookworld. Meanwhile, Goliath have perfected a 22-seater Prose Portal Luxury Coach, and plan on taking literary tourists on a holiday to the works of Jane Austen. Thursday alone realises the true intent of Goliath's unwanted incursions into fiction, but she can't fight all these battles on her own. She must team up with the one person she really can't get along with - the written Thursday Next, currently starring in The Great Samuel Pepys Fiasco. But it's no time to be picky...

I am behaving, hoarding, stashing, hiding... they're all behaviours! ;)
BooksnBeer - June 20, 2008 03:42 AM (GMT)
:ph34r: Bye - you guys don't need me yet. I check back in the morning.
PepperVL - June 20, 2008 04:05 AM (GMT)
Oh. Um. I guess I'd better send out my reveal. Hmm.
PepperVL - June 20, 2008 05:38 AM (GMT)
Okay, I just sent out my reveal. It's 1:30 AM, I have to be up in 5 hours, I don't have time to get it together right now. That should work until tomorrow when I get home from work, and will send out a full reveal if I haven't been picked yet.
I'm sorry... they're spraying the whole building for bugs, so I had to empty my cabinets (that I JUST put everything back into this week!) and I have a test at work tomorrow that I've been studying for.
giz-angel - June 20, 2008 07:12 AM (GMT)
Morning all - just checking in to see what's happening.
What is a VBS?
Marlene - June 20, 2008 08:53 AM (GMT)
STOP SCREAMING. :angry: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
Jordanne - June 20, 2008 10:46 AM (GMT)
I just sent out my reveal.
I've got some horrible pc problems. Not with the provider but with our pc. I won't be able to check in as much as I usually do, but I try to check in regularly.

Since it's at church I think she means Vacation Bible School.
Though my first thought when I saw your question was Virtual Book Swap. :giggle:
BooksnBeer - June 20, 2008 01:14 PM (GMT)
:bananahop: good morning. Just looking in. YA! It is Friday!! One more day of work. A test at work - that doesn't sound fair :huh:
Anybody see Meshe yet?
elsi - June 20, 2008 01:33 PM (GMT)
I'm here. Last night I sent out my reveal to Daelith, CheriePie, Jordanne, and Giz-Angel. I have reveals from Giz, Shanesay, and Jordanne.
I absolutely hate delayed flights. I was supposed to leave St. Louis at 6pm -- the plane we were flying on arrived in St. Louis at 8pm. Fortunately, we load up fairly quickly and were in the air around 8:30. Landed in Dallas around 10:15, waited for luggage to come up, waited in line to pay the toll to leave the airport, then drove about an hour to the house.
Sorry I didn't have my reveal out earlier.
Daelith - June 20, 2008 01:36 PM (GMT)
Morning everyone! I'll be around all day.
Ri - June 20, 2008 01:49 PM (GMT)
Hi all! We are headed back to Cincinnati later this morning, so I should be able to check back in this afternoon. After that I'll back to checking in at a regular clip.

No but I did PM right after I posted the update last night. I know she's not working this summer since she works at a school. Maybe she's sleeping in. :shrug:
meshe - June 20, 2008 03:04 PM (GMT)
yep, I did sleep in this morning.
Can I have a reveal from Booksnbeer?? (I looooove that screen name and wish I had thought of it first!!)
meshe - June 20, 2008 03:06 PM (GMT)

BooksnBeer's reveal:
http://www.bookcrossing.com/journal/2459302Amazon Editorial Review:
Alone . . . Massachusetts State Trooper Bobby Dodge watches a tense hostage standoff unfold through the scope of his sniper rifle. Just across the street, in wealthy Back Bay, Boston, an armed man has barricaded himself with his wife and child. The man’s finger tightens on the trigger and Dodge has only a split second to react . . . and forever pay the consequences.
Alone . . . that’s where the nightmare began for cool, beautiful, and dangerously sexy Catherine Rose Gagnon. Twenty-five years ago, she was buried underground during a month-long nightmare of abduction and abuse. Now her husband has just been killed. Her father-in-law, the powerful Judge Gagnon, blames Catherine for his son’s death . . . and for the series of unexplained illnesses that have sent her own young son repeatedly to the hospital.
Alone . . . a madman survived solitary confinement in a maximum security prison where he’d done hard time for the most sadistic of crimes. Now he walks the streets a free man, invisible, anonymous . . . and filled with an unquenchable rage for vengeance. What brings them together is a moment of violence—but what connects them is a passion far deeper and much more dangerous. For a killer is loose who’s woven such an intricate web of evil that no one is above suspicion, no one is beyond harm, and no one will see death coming until it has them cornered, helpless, and alone.

Synopsis
Once, Special Agent Smoky Barrett hunted serial killers for the FBI. She was one of the best–until a madman terrorized her family, killed her husband and daughter, and left her face scarred and her soul brutalized. Turning the tables on the killer, Smoky shot him dead–but her life was shattered forever.
Now Smoky dreams about picking up her weapon again. She dreams about placing the cold steel between her lips and pulling the trigger one last time. Because for a woman who’s lost everything, what is there left to lose?
She’s about to find out.
In all her years at the Bureau, Smoky has never encountered anyone like him–a new and fascinating kind of monster, a twisted genius who defies profilers’ attempts to understand him. And he’s issued Smoky a direct challenge, coaxing her back from the brink with the only thing that could convince her to live.
The killer videotaped his latest crime–an act of horror that left a child motherless–then sent a message addressed to Agent Smoky Barrett. The message is enough to shock Smoky back to work, back to her FBI team. And that child awakens something in Smoky she thought was gone forever.
Suddenly the stakes are raised. The game has changed. For as this deranged monster embarks on an unspeakable spree of perversion and murder, Smoky is coming alive again–and she’s about to face her greatest fears as a cop, a woman, a mother…and a merciless killer’s next victim.
