Sorry for the delay, Marina. I am feeling in a classics mood this morning, so here are you choices:

The Time Machine
The Moonstone
The Call of the Wild

3. Roll = 4

Landed on Lord of the Flies - Owned by Julie.

1/8 From Julie's picks I chose The Sound of Glass

Julie - I just landed on Lord of the Flies.

Please pick 3 books from my list for me.

Thanks

Updated my links for this. Congrats Charity. Tien will update the board.

Just an FYI - Catcher in the Rye is now an owned property. Congrats to Charity! Please see the Owned Property links to request a book for this spot on the board.

And, I would like to echo Tien's comments in the post above. You all are great.

Lastly, I promise to have the closed request list updated by tomorrow.

Finally back in town, all and updates have been made. Finally getting back in the swing of things.

I loved that book Dom. Good luck with it!

Got it Charity. Good luck!

I would like to join the Book-opoly challenge. I have seen my wife doing it and think it looks amazing and really good fun. Here is a link to my shelf

Bookopoly Shelf"

Welcome aboard, Ross. I have been out of town and computerless for two weeks or more, but am back now. I will just set up the link to your shelf.

Charity wrote: "I'm going to attempt to purchase the property Pride & Prejudice by reading Romeo and Juliet (goodreads says it's 283 pages)."

Got ya, Charity. You have 7 days to read the book from today! Good luck!

Karen wrote: "This is so stupid of me but I thought this challenge started on January 1 and was waiting accordingly*bangs head on wall*"

Not stupid at all, Karen. This is a start anytime you want challenge, so go ahead and start now. It is non-competitive and designed to help you decide what to read by having others choose for you. There are still several properties for sale, too, so all is good there. Jump in!

It's that time of year, Kim. I haven't even updated the Book request thread yet as I have been up to my eyeballs in baking and cooking, lol. Thanks for posting, I got you updated on the threads...Tien will do the board update soon.

The lists were linked, and now the board is too, so it should be all good. I did notice the one in this thread, but thought it was before you finalized your side. Sorry, I should have redirected the person.

Just a heads up

We have several new properties whose purchase has been completed. Please check the purchased properties to insure that you are asking for the request in the right place.

Julie wrote: "K. Roll of thunder thread up. Sorry I think my brained turned to squash momentarily after plowing through the lazt 100 pages or so, but I made the deadline ;)"

Ya, I can't believe you even read the book in the first place. Plowing through the last 100 pages is never fun on any book. I hate deadlines.

No worries. So many things to remember. I made the update.

Thanks Julie. Don't forget to set up the book request thread. If you already have, I apologize....I am working on my phone and having a hard time finding things.

can you please set up a book request thread so that Tien and I can link it to the proper places.

Charity wrote: "I need to request a book...please give me 4 options.

Thank you!"

Here you go, Charity:

Romeo and Juliet

Can You Keep a Secret?
