I'll be leaving for work shortly so feel free to update and add anyone else who wants to join at the end.

I'll be leaving my reveal with Cherie and Morsecode.

I'm here! And I'm at the top of the list - w00t! I'll be leaving in about 45 minutes to take my car in, but then I can check in again once I'm at my parents' house. Then I'm going shopping, but I'll be able to check in within my 12 hours if my turn should come up.

Yay we're starting! Can't wait to steal play! :wink: :bounce:

Kel, got your reveal pm :wink:

Kislany, since you're here, what's your book? :D

My book is:
Playing with Fire by Gena Showalter
(2006-09-01)



Used to be my greatest achievement was holding a job more than three days. Now suddenly I can shoot fireballs, chill your drink or blow-dry your hair at fifty paces with a blink of my eye!

It all started when this crazy scientist dropped something in my Grande Mocha Latte.

Of course I got wicked sick.

Next morning I'm waking up with this total hottie bending over me.

He tells me

1) his name's Rome Masters,

2) he's a government agent and

3) I can control the four elements with a thought.

He seems even less pleased by my (apparently irreversible) transformation than I am…. Because now he'll have to kill me.

Checking in and I will be around all day.

Oooh...I would steal that if I didn't already have it!! :lol: Your book is safe from me, krin!!

Morning folks :) Will be here on and off till about 4 pm then out till tomorrow :)

Okay, I'm heading out.

People that have my reveal is in my sig. Can't leave moves yet, but I'll be checking in.

Have fun! :shedevil:

Yeah, I've checked on BC, you were the only one from the players who had it :D

Yay! I love this author, Krin you better watch out I'll be coming after ya!!

Ok off to work now :cry:

Oups, forgot to mention it's a TBR, but it shouldn't take me long to read it...

just checking in after a trip to the PO

From the Publisher
Curtis Sittenfeld's debut novel, Prep, is an insightful, achingly funny coming-of-age story as well as a brilliant dissection of class, race, and gender in a hothouse of adolescent angst and ambition.

Lee Fiora is an intelligent, observant fourteen-year-old when her father drops her off in front of her dorm at the prestigious Ault School in Massachusetts. She leaves her animated, affectionate family in South Bend, Indiana, at least in part because of the boarding school's glossy brochure, in which boys in sweaters chat in front of old brick buildings, girls in kilts hold lacrosse sticks on pristinely mown athletic fields, and everyone sings hymns in chapel.

As Lee soon learns, Ault is a cloistered world of jaded, attractive teenagers who spend summers on Nantucket and speak in their own clever shorthand. Both intimidated and fascinated by her classmates, Lee becomes a shrewd observer of-and, ultimately, a participant in-their rituals and mores. As a scholarship student, she constantly feels like an outsider and is both drawn to and repelled by other loners. By the time she's a senior, Lee has created a hard-won place for herself at Ault. But when her behavior takes a self-destructive and highly public turn, her carefully crafted identity within the community is shattered.

Ultimately, Lee's experiences-complicated relationships with teachers; intense friendships with other girls; an all-consuming preoccupation with a classmate who is less than a boyfriend and more than a crush; conflicts with her parents, from whom Lee feels increasingly distant, coalesce into a singular portrait of the painful and thrilling adolescence universal to us all.

The Penny Tree
by Holly Kennedy



Do You Recognize This Woman? As the years go by, I often ask myself this: How did I lose the only woman I ever loved? The answer isn’t straight, or simple, but if I don’t do something about it, I’ll regret it for the rest of my life...

Annie Hillman’s been dangling from the end of her rope for so long, she’s forgotten how to do more than hold on. Forced to move back to her small hometown, she’s working a temporary job that feels more permanent by the day. Her son Luke is becoming an out-of-control truant. And though her younger son Eric has survived a long illness, the medical bills are burying Annie. Her only refuge is the old Douglas fir tree that has been special to her since childhood, when her father helped her nail a penny to the trunk to mark an important chapter of her life...

Then the oddest thing happens. The local newspaper carries an ad featuring a picture of Annie—when she was young and free—on the front page, with an earnest message of love and regret from an unknown admirer. The paper’s editor refuses to name names, but the ads continue to appear. And when the story breaks, Annie finds herself in the national spotlight.

Now, for the first time in years, Annie is beginning to see that joy might be possible even in the midst of hard times—and that the life she’s led, along with the people she’s loved, might still show her the way...

Note: this copy is an Advanced Reader Copy, the book will not be available until April 2007

H everyone, just checking in. I'll be in and out for the rest of the night.

EllyMae, you're up! Will you :pirate: or :peek:

Wow, just in time to take my turn, and then I gotta run out.

I'll have Nan reveal, please. Thanks!!!!




Argh, can someone put the bold back in the update??? :blink:

checking in

I see that I've been revealed :)

I sent Nan an email cuz I don't see anything in her signature saying she's left her reveal with anyone.

What bold are you talking about? Ap didn't have any bold in the original post, but I added the Moves and the Revealed Thread line. Do you find it easier to read if the names are in bold or some other part? :unsure:

Does anyone have Nan's reveal? I think she usually checks in around 12n est so if no one has it I think we are stuck till then. I sent here a pm via bookcrossing.

Not that I know of... I checked her signature and there's no mention of it there. But I also sent her an email as I was conversing with her on something else anyway so hopefully she checks back in sometime tonight.
