I'm trying to finish up a bunch of challenges so I'm hoping that the moves I make land on something that will fit with what I already have planned to read. It's not going that well at the moment!

I just rolled two 1's in a row, the first of which sent me back to the start. I'll probably still be crawling my way to the library when you're on your second go around! :)

I would have been more specific but I don't think the name of the town was mentioned even once during the entire book. The reader just knows it's a small town somewhere in the UK
