Congratulations, Rosemary.

May I suggest a change:

10. Advance to Go & travel to another Board, roll 2 die & accordingly move forward on The Board OR if you're already visiting, Advance to Go & return to your own Board and proceed by rolling 2 die.

I think I have everyone linked to here. If I have missed you, please let me know.

Thanks, LaurLa. Although I need to read them all during this month, I am going to choose The Beast as it will help me finish one of the PnM challenges...and, because I own it, I frequently choose to bypass it in preference to library books with due dates. This one needs to get some attention!

Hi, all. I am traveling here from Australia and would love to see your lovely country. Currently I am at Middlesbrough. Please select 3 destinations (books) for me to consider from my list (https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...).

I drew this chance card: 10. Advance to Go & travel to another Board [when you return, roll 2 die & accordingly move forward on The Board] OR if you're already visiting, Advance to Go & return to your own Board.

I understand that I am to travel to another board...but, what does the part in [] mean? Does it mean that I roll when I arrive at the new board? Or does it mean that I return to my own board?

I think this needs to be reworded. I am going to travel and will roll when I ARRIVE.

I have now landed at P: Questacon [which I've still yet to go! I'd really like to take the boys there one day before they grow up too much more lol], could I please have 3 picks from my shelf? Cheers!"

Here you go, Tien. Hope one of these works for you.

Above the Bay of Angels
Breath of Earth
The Secrets Mothers Keep

Michelle, I like your enthusiasm with the bonus picks. However, I would like to remind you that LOST has 3 games. The other two are dependent on your finish date - usually 10 books.

Lena wrote: "Congrats everyone! So cool! Everyone is so motivated and rocking this challenge.
Looking forward to the new challenge next year!

Unfortunately, I just can't finish my last book. It's huge (1300+ ..However, I will try to finish it in January so I can start right of with the 2020 challenge.."

Pulling for you, Lena. And, I will document your FINISH whenever you get it done.

Wow, Rosemary! You are completing challenges right and left!

Rosemary wrote: "I'm all done! https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Itching to start next year's!"

Congrats, Rosemary!

LOL! I am finding that my plan has to be reworked due to the fact that some of my books are in my hands right now and needing to be read for current or past games AND are from the library and cannot be held for another month. That is what I get for planning too far ahead.

Tien wrote: "Am going to go for Dirk Gently as it's an ebook I borrowed from library & is due in 3 days!! And I've no idea how to renew electronic..."

LOL, neither do I.

Tien wrote: "Roll #2 landed me on P: Fresycinet National Park
Could I please have 3 picks from my shelf? Thanks :)"

I will provide your picks for this roll, Tien.

The Daughter of Victory Lights - looks interesting
