oooh high up in the list again :o
I'll pull together my reveal and send it out before I go to bed tonight

chronicbooker3 - February 20, 2007 02:06 AM (GMT)
guess I better decide on a book and send out the reveal to some peeps. Im at work tomorrow until 2:30 and cant access the site :angry:

chronicbooker3 - February 20, 2007 02:53 AM (GMT)
I have left my reveal with Camis and Antheras opposite sides of the pond :D

Ri - February 20, 2007 02:57 AM (GMT)
Yikes! I'd better find a book to offer!!

morsecode - February 20, 2007 04:12 AM (GMT)
I sent out my reveal to sunny, xall, and cheesy
I should be checking in around 8:30am EST

Ri - February 20, 2007 04:36 AM (GMT)
I sent my reveal to Sunny, Breeze and xallroyx. I'll be checking in sometime tomorrow morning, but I'm not sure how much I'll be able to check in throughout the day since I am being kicked out of the house! We are painting 2 rooms, and even though we bought the no VOC paint, I still shouldn't be around it while it is wet. I will probably take my puter with me though and try to find an unsecured network wherever I end up... :whistle:

Antheras - February 20, 2007 06:22 AM (GMT)
I've sent reveal information to Bree, Giz and Cheesy. Email me through here if you need me, although I doubt you will!

Happy Stealing!

xallroyx - February 20, 2007 06:22 AM (GMT)
Oh my--last! I better get my reveal together!

Sunlightbub - February 20, 2007 10:50 AM (GMT)
Checking in - I have Morsie and Sweet Ri's reveals. I'll send mine to Giz, Morsie and Ri.

I may be off line tomorrow and Thursday but Giz has my power of booktourney ( and my phone number!!)

camis - February 20, 2007 10:59 AM (GMT)
Ooh - first up! What a lovely Birthday suprise :lol:

I'd like to ask Sunny to reveal as I think she's still about here somehwere!

Sunlightbub - February 20, 2007 11:21 AM (GMT)
My reveal is:

The Little Lady Agency by Hester Browne

Sophie Kinsella fans will devour this romantic comedy about men, manners and multi-tasking When sweet, naive Melissa seeks a job with her old Home Economics teacher she is half way through the interview before it dawns on her that Mrs McKinnon isn't interested in her cookery skills, but is in fact running an escort agency. Melissa panics, but she needs the cash - and what harm can providing lonely men with stimulating conversation over dinner do? More exciting still, she'll get to wear a disguise...Enter her alter ego: Honey. As flirty and feminine as a Bond girl, as confident and sexy as Mary Poppins in silk stockings, Honey brings out a side to Melissa she never knew she had. A side that will get her into hot water, (and out of it) and that she'll never want to lose...

I thought of you when I decided ot offer this one ( It's a duplicate copy- I haven't read it yet) As I noticed you were after it in another swap..It's on a few wishlists of regular swappers though, but I'm sure they wouldn't steal from you on your birthday :whistle:

(my little girl just climbed on my lap and is tranfixed by the dancing bananas!! )

So, for Freja :bananadance: :bananadance: :bananacheer: :bananacheer:

Morsie's reveal:

Jade Tiger by Jenn Reese

Shan Westfall -- half-Chinese, half-American, one hundred percent kung fu badass -- is on a mission to recover five mystical jade animals before they fall into the wrong hands.

Fifteen years ago, Shan's mother led a secret society of female martial artists sworn to protect the small but powerful sculptures. Then the Jade Circle lost four of the five animals during a murderous attack on their sanctuary -- and Shan's destiny was sealed.

Now an adult and the protector of the remaining figure, a jade tiger, only Shan can recover the jade crane, snake, leopard, and dragon. Joined by geeky archaeologist Ian Dashell, her quest for the statues takes her on a dangerous trek across three continents. But when Shan finally confronts the man who destroyed her past, she loses hope. How can she possibly succeed where her mother failed?

Publishers Weekly Review:
Reese's vibrant debut introduces Shan Westfall, a half-Chinese, half-American crime fighter, who yearns to unite the mystical power of the Jade Circle, an ancient female order embodied by five jade animal artifacts. The Jade Circle is currently incomplete, broken by a ruthless crime lord who seeks the statues' power for his own nefarious purposes. Shan's determined search leads her to the jade crane held by archeologist Ian Dashell, who becomes an ally and, after a period of smoldering erotic tension, her lover. Flying kicks, heart-stopping spins and amazing somersaults propel the action. Complicating matters is Ian's colleague, Dr. Daniel Buckley, an antiquities expert; One-eye, an evil Asian martial artist; and Sifu Xia, a feisty 60-year-old kung fu queen. Reese choreographs both the romantic moves and the martial arts with flair. Juno is a new fantasy imprint of Wildside Press featuring strong female characters, exotic locales and romance.
