Monopoly - Zombies

[Susan]

I think I'll play, but am still wavering. I started planning, and it took me 14 rolls to get to my first Community Chest. That involved 2 trips to Quarantine, and therefore 2 zombie books. And that's not one you can skip and just lose points.

Meanwhile, while I'm planning, does anyone have any hints that help searching for particular things in cover art (e.g., indulgent foods)?

But couldn't you just take the first couple fines, then your $200 would be used up, and you'd go back to Go and can start again. Since you're doing this planning before Apr. 1., it seems like you'd still be starting with a clean slate (even though no money).

Interesting -- that space isn't marked with any points at all.

[Coralie]

I don't usually read zombie books and don't much like horror, but I did enjoy .

[Dionisia]

Very cool! Gah! I wish I had the time to do all these awesome challenges.

[Amy]

I'm in (of course--what a great game!) and am planning my reads. For Zombie Movie Studio: Read a book which has been adapted to screen (ie. made into movies / series etc) I was thinking of reading Double Dexter, the latest in the series on which the "Dexter" Showtime show is based. Would this be okay? I ask because the SHO series has deviated quite a bit from the books as the seasons have progressed.

So as I decided to skip my first roll so I could 'reset' my clock, I promptly fell on the same property again and then on Chance!

No luck, I tell you.

[D.G.]

Question, Tien. If we're restarting, then we can claim the $200 again, right?

[❀Tea❀]

Can I use Good Omens for Public Toilet? That's the only book I have with initials. If not I need to go hunting :D

❀Tea❀ wrote: "Can I use Good Omens for Public Toilet? That's the only book I have with initials. If not I need to go hunting :D"

Tea,
Pittacus Lore and Candace Robb are two possibilities. The first writes current young adult sci fi/dystopia, the second historical mysteries set in medieval Europe. Would either of them suit you?

I love historical mysteries! Although I haven't read any in medieval Europe :)
Thanks, I'll check them out.

I compared books with you, there are some books on your to-read shelf you coud read for this square? Did you actually land on this square?

@Amy (#57), Dexter is fine. It doesn't matter if the series have deviated from the book -it was "adapted" ;)

@Lauren (#59) -by "excluding forensics", the intention is to exclude any medical professional practicing in forensics so that'll include medical examiner.

Thanks, Karen. It came up Sweet Venom. I don't remember when or why I put it on my TBR, but it seems interesting. I wonder if I hunt far enough, I might find that it's on the "dark" shelf for next month, too.

I don't even see the pots one. Weird.

I'm sure that's ok if it has enough books on it to so there's a book that works.

here's Karen's task - the idea of the game monopoly was originally designed by Elizabeth "Lizzie" J. Phillips - for your task, read a book by an author who's first name is Elizabeth (or diminutives - i.e. Beth, Lizzie) or last name Phillips (Phillip or Philips are also acceptable)
