terra57 - June 27, 2008 01:11 PM (GMT)

sejent - June 27, 2008 02:23 PM (GMT)
:wave:
Morning! I'm at work today...I will probably be away from my computer for about 4 hours, but after that I'll be checking in frequently.
nursiegirl42 - June 27, 2008 02:26 PM (GMT)

Good morning or afternoon to some of you :wave:
BooksnBeer - June 27, 2008 04:44 PM (GMT)
Hi - Afternoon.
Just checking in :wink:
rootmartin - June 27, 2008 04:48 PM (GMT)
I'm heading out soon to take my oldest daughter to a summer book club meeting. We set it up with some of her friends. They are meeting once a week over the summer and each week is "themed." This week is about animals so each kid read a book about animals and did a little "report."
It should be fun 'cuz it keeps them reading and they get to hang out with their friends.
Daelith - June 27, 2008 04:53 PM (GMT)
Very cool rootmartin. Ya'll have fun! :D
BooksnBeer - June 27, 2008 04:59 PM (GMT)
:D Root - Fun! Fun! A book a week - a little too much for me :wacko:
As a kid the library was my favorite place to go and cool off. :P
Booksforever - June 27, 2008 07:51 PM (GMT)
:wave: Booksnbeer. What state do you live? For some reason I thought you were in the UK in the Mt. TBR swap. Guess not. LOL!

Daelith - June 27, 2008 09:02 PM (GMT)
Nursie sent her a PM some time ago. Apparently she's not been online today. :cry:
BooksnBeer - June 27, 2008 09:04 PM (GMT)
:thinking: Heading out of here - It is Friday!!!! I check in later - I am definitely in need of a brewski. :cheers:
lovemylife - June 27, 2008 09:08 PM (GMT)
Wow. I thought it would be my turn by now. Usually we're halfway through by this time.
Booksforever - June 27, 2008 09:18 PM (GMT)
I wonder if Meshe lost her service somehow (storms??) she hasn't been online in over 24 hours.
Booksforever - June 27, 2008 09:20 PM (GMT)
K, I am going back to work...but will be checking in off and on since I am after Meshe. :D
Daelith - June 27, 2008 09:25 PM (GMT)
I'm heading home from work in about 30 minutes. I'll check back later tonight though it's going to be a while for my turn.
KathyB - June 27, 2008 09:59 PM (GMT)
Just got home! Will keep checking
meshe - June 27, 2008 10:18 PM (GMT)
I am soooooo sorry. My sister called me to come to her house yesterday and I left in a hurry. She's 45 and pregnant with twins and needed to be off her feet because they had started swelling. She had a yard sale planned for this morning and needed me to help. Sorry Sorry Sorry. Anyway, I'm back home and will take a turn now.

Lizabeth's Book is "Do Me, Do My Roots" by Eileen Rendahl
http://bookcrossing.com/journal/2504516 Amazon Editorial Review:
It's about healing.
After a couple of rough years, Emily is finally getting things back together. She doesn't need to re-do everything at work three times, her young daughter's soccer uniform is almost always clean the day of a game, and meals are pretty darn reliable, too. But hey, becoming a widow at thirty-three kind of knocks the starch out of you.
It's about family.
Then Emily's dad has an Event (only her mom would call a minor heart attack that -- what is it, a bar mitzvah?). Next, her sister Claudia's ex-husband starts stealing their kids' Ritalin for the high -- and wouldn't you replace it with The Pill to teach him a lesson? (His unexpected, uh, frontal development was just a howlingly funny bonus -- honest.) And then Emily's relentlessly sensible oldest sister, Leah, dumps her businessman fiancé for a rock musician.
It's about never letting them see your gray.
Now Jake, Emily's best friend, seems to be spending a lot of time at her house. Which she likes way too much. Which is kind of confusing. So what's a girl to do, but call an emergency meeting of the sisters' monthly hair-color-and-gossip session, to make the world seem sane again?
rootmartin - June 27, 2008 10:40 PM (GMT)
Can someone else update for me? I've gotta run 'cuz it's close to dinner time for the kiddos. Thanks! :kiss:

The Swap Fairy? She's BFF with the Book Fairy, you know, the little magical creature that takes over your car's steering when you drive by a bookstore ... or a book you really, really want :cry: suddenly & unexpectedly comes your way.
I'd update, but I'm out the door to the vet. My little Red pitbull girl can't keep anything down and won't eat or drink. :blush:

Thanks, meshe, for covering the update for me! :kiss:
The first book club meeting this afternoon was a huge success! There were four girls and a number of siblings. The theme was animals. Each girl had read an animal-related book and had done a little book report. They shared their reports with each other and talked about the books that they had read. They played with the rabbits at the house, ran through the sprinklers, had snacks and played two animal-related games. It was fantastic!
So, our little summer book club is off to a good start. :bananadance:
Booksforever - June 28, 2008 12:17 AM (GMT)
Terra, Please reveal. I will PM her now also.
Can someone do the update....I am on my way home from work. thanks!!
Lizabeth86 - June 28, 2008 12:24 AM (GMT)
I'm the first reveal. :bananadance: Lately I am usually one of the last so its a nice
change to have my book in play from the beginning of a swap.
