That's not bad, Beth. We just got Salary recently, so it's not too surprising that this one could be lower. We're going back into the longest segment of board to the next Salary spot, but I think we're in good position with our bank. That will let us get some chunky books banked potentially. I'm trying not to slump though, so I may be in small books. 😳 Idk what it is, but ends of the month are not motivational lol.

Yes, sorry, I grabbed a purple book out of our log and finished the turn. We got $116 I think...

Yeah, forbidden love is usually enemies (or family feud) to friends or lovers, so it all fits. :)

*Turn Complete*

Yeah, I would consider it a trope.

It's a random prompt lol. We have to pick a trope, and then guess how the other feels about it. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Cool! I saw Week 4 had dropped too; maybe we can get a little caught up this week. :)

Plan: request spin and complete task.

Just became our turn. I was rooting for a 2 and we got a 12. So it does have a 2 in it. 😂

We landed on Wheel of Colors, so I've requested the spin.

We are 8 away from collecting Salary as we circumnavigated the board.

It's the Literary Jackpot space, and it's up to $800. 😁 Lol, it's all random number generator I think, so...

Week: 3
Book Title: Disney After Dark
Author: Ridley Pearson
Page Count: 326
Reflection: I've been putting off starting this series

Yay, week 3! I don't understand the response question tbh. This could have been a purely cover choice, or a series continuation, but I think either way it satisfied curiosity?

Lolol, tbh, that could be a human name lol. Like Princess Peach from Mario! 🤣 But she is an amazing cat! I just don't think y'all want me taking a week to read one book lol!

Not bad, even with paying the penalty!

Yeah, also anthropomorphized entities, I'm thinking. But I haven't decided what I'll get into there, but there are definitely fantasy options. Worst case scenario, I read the next Dungeon Crawler Carl, since Princess Donut is a cat lol.

Did you get any of the same numbers I did? I assume they are tied to the numbers. It's a cool premise, but also dangerous since ... cryptids... 😳 At first I was like, shoot, I have to go get the Monster Hunter book back from the library lol, but non-human entity I think is broad enough for me to cope. 🤞

I don't have a book where a hospital is a primary setting on my current reads, and I don't think I have anything in the log. Hospital would have been a side location at best. But yes, shorty book so we pay less! At least we're getting salary this turn.

Our turn: we landed on Chance, so I requested the spin.

We passed the Salary space, so we will need to claim that this round.

I'm offline for a couple hours, but will check on this when I'm back. :)

Plan: request spin; collect Salary

Yeah, trying to enter my Thriller era, but the Cozy and Fantasy are hanging on lol. I should probably just take all my library books back and pick them up again later, but I have hope that I'll read them! And I don't want to make my library spend the money getting them to me again...
