There is a 12 hour turn limit. If we have to wait for you longer than that, you will be bumped to the bottom of the list unless you've left moves (either in your signature or with another player). You may specify if your moves are to be used immediately, only in the case of no new reveals, or to wait for you if it's close to a particular time. Please send your reveal to at least two other players, preferably in different time zones.

Thankfully the weekend is here! I haven't got my reveal together yet...hopefully nobody will need it... Edited by Amberkatze, Nov 27 2009, 05:48 PM.

Posts: 2,728 Group: Members Member #132 Joined: January 17, 2007	dancing-dog's reveal: The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan Book Description: The escapades of the Greek gods and heroes get a fresh spin in the first book in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, about a contemporary 12- year-old New Yorker who learns he's a demigod. Perseus, aka Percy Jackson, thinks he has big problems. His father left before he was born, he's been kicked out of six schools in six years, he's dyslexic, and he has ADHD. What a surprise when he finds out that that's only the tip of the iceberg: he vaporizes his pre-algebra teacher, learns his best friend is a satyr, and is almost killed by a minotaur before his mother manages to get him to the safety of Camp Half-Blood - where he discovers that Poseidon is his father. But that's a problem, too. Poseidon has been accused of stealing Zeus' lightning bolt, and unless Percy can return the bolt, humankind is doomed. Riordan's fast-paced adventure is fresh, dangerous, and funny. Percy is an appealing, but reluctant hero, the modernized gods are hilarious, and the parallels to Harry Potter are frequent and obvious. OR Just Listen by Sarah Dessen (TBR) Book Description: Annabel Greene seemingly had everything: cool friends, close family, good grades, and a part-time modeling career in town. But it all came crashing down, and Annabel has spent the summer in shaky, self-imposed exile. She finds herself dreading the new school term and facing, well, everyone again. The last thing she wants to do is revisit old friendships while the losses are painful, the secrets behind the rifts are almost unbearable. Her solid family seems fragile, too. What happened to cause the stiff silences and palpable resentments between her two older sisters? Why is no one in her loving but determinedly cheerful family talking about her middle sister's eating disorder? Annabel's devastating secret is revealed in bits and snatches, as readers see her go to amazing lengths to avoid confrontation. Caught between wanting to protect her family and her own struggles to face a devastating experience, Annabel finds comfort in an unlikely friendship with the school's most notorious loner. Owen has his own issues with anger, but has learned to control it and helps her realize the dangers of holding in her emotions. Dessen explores the interior and exterior lives of her characters and shows their flaws, humanity, struggles, and incremental successes. This is young adult fiction at its best, delving into the minds of complex, believable teens, bringing them to life, and making readers want to know more about them with each turn of the page.

Then I came home, checked in here before collapsing into bed. My tv is still in its box by my door. Gunna have Chris help me set it up. I'm awake now but have to go back to bed in a few hours cause I gotta be to work at 10am tomorrow.
