Just pmed LaurLa as well.

I think that all our missing players.

[VNerdbooks]

Haha yes i don't even know who's playing!

[Ghost in the Stacks]

I know...I had to find that list. I just knew everyone has stopped by, I knew we had more players hiding around here somewhere.
Might as well who else can fight for Oriental!

[VNerdbooks]

Haha this game is going to get brutal i think

[CassieV]

Sorry! I'm here! I won't be able to read over this for a while, though. Have kind of a crazy day lined up because I'm headed to the hospital immediately after breakfast and then have a school thing I'm committed to with my kids.

[CassieV]

Okay, I'm assuming I'm okay to roll even though it's Tuesday...?

Just in case I rolled 4 + 5 = 9. Which is Connecticut avenue.

Connecticut Avenue - Books I Own Shelf - Must read 1 book to own. Must read 2 books if the property is owned.

If that's not okay, I can re-roll next Monday to keep us all in the same day :).

[VNerdbooks]

noo Cassie it's fine, come join in the carnage lol

[Sally906]

I am not sure how often we roll - I guess when each of us has rolled once we roll again? Or do have to have rolled AND read our books?

[VNerdbooks]

i think you roll, read, roll etc

[Sally906]

There you go. Monopoly rule number 1 - roll, read, then role again.

See - if in doubt read the blooming rules! LOL!

[Berit☀️✨]

Me! I missing!
Let me get my kids off to school and then I will roll the dice, I completely forgot about this, sorry ;-)

[LaurLa]

I'm here now... it's been a crazy weekend for me and I spent yesterday reading my last Carnie book (I'm on one of the last 4 formed teams who got started a day late).

Anyway, did we decide we would only roll once a week to keep us all from going crazy with all of our other challenges? Did we decide we'd roll on Mondays? Monday roll - read - post - Monday roll?

[LaurLa]

I rolled 5 + 5 = 10 -- Just Visiting – Read a novella of your choice, 50 page minimum.

I'll be back later with my book!

[Berit☀️✨]

First roll 1+5=6
Oriental Avenue is this what everybody is fighting over???

[Laura]

Yes, Berit. I think you're the 4th one!

[Louise]

I'm changing my book on pg 3, I've got to get this read for Bingo, I'm so behind!

[VNerdbooks]

[Laura]

Review:
So, (view spoiler)[Donovan Caine is back! And he is engaged to Bria's best friend from back home! And he still wants Gin, although he's just as much of an ass in this book as he was when he stomped on her heart and walked out before. And in the end, when he finally admits to himself that he still wants her, and condescendingly tells her that, she PUNCHES him in the STOMACH. And tells him that's he made her feel when he walked away. And now she's over him. And then she walks out. And then Owen kisses her. *sigh* (hide spoiler)] Oh, yeah. And some bad guys got what was coming to them. And some good people got saved.

[Laura]

I own this one now! Too bad I can't collect rent from you people who are hanging about!!! :)

We're only rolling once a week, right?

[VNerdbooks]

Booooo !!

I demand a recount, I'm just starting mine!!!

[VNerdbooks]

Does this now mean I need to read 2 books from the 2013 shelf?
I haven't even started, I need to read my book for book club on Thursday, Station 11??? Just started

No. It says in the FAQ thread that if multiple people land on a square at the same time, the first one done owns it, but anybody else on the square gets a free rent stay and only has to read the one book.

[Berit☀️✨]

Oh good!

[Sally906]

V Audio Nerd wrote: "Yes just Mondays otherwise you'll own the board before we come back haha"

Ok - good. Is that my Monday or your Monday - because your Monday is my Tuesday!

[Laura]

Just roll on your Monday. If everybody does that we should be fine.

Wow, the book I just finished is tagged correctly for the shelf, but it's only tagged 35 times and the shelf stops at 51! Stink! Hopefully my next book fits ;)

I'm confused.... you mean it's tagged but it doesn't make the 'cut' when you view the shelf list? Have you asked if it will count in the Q&A thread?

[CassieV]

Yes, I guess, they cut it off as 100 pages for the shelf, and mine isn't on the list, lol.

That's a good idea, though, I'll ask in the Q&A in a bit :)

[Berit☀️✨]

Well, I'm definitely not going to finish my book for this by Monday, so I don't roll again correct?

[Ghost in the Stacks]

No, not until you finish your current book.
Once you finish then you can roll.

IF you happen to finish a book early...that is when you have to wait until Monday to roll.

[Ghost in the Stacks]

I wont vet mind done either...infact I haven't had the chance to even start it yet....

[Berit☀️✨]

I haven't started mine either, and now I need to read for carny

[Sally906]

Ok - it's Monday here so rolling again.

Rolled 3 and 1 = 4

Moving from Chance to St Charles Street - Ebooks Shelf - Must read 1 book to own. Must read 2 books if the property is owned.

No-one owns it so reading one book: Tumbler by Brand Gamblin

That always trips me out, I mean it is only 3:00 in the afternoon here. On Sunday.

I don't think so Laura, it's a roll and read thing

I don't think I know what you mean? Isn't any book that has that tag on that shelf? I didn't see anything that said it has to be in the first 100 books on the list! Were you on the app? I know that the app cuts off after the first 100 in Listopia.
