HELEN A.I'm in!
Starting Date 10-15-19
All must be 150 pages
You will need one six-sided dice to play.
Your library book is due back today but it’s early closing at the library and it’s right on the other side of town!
Move around the town by rolling the dice and completing the reading tasks for each space you land on – but beware, along the way there will be distractions from your mission. Get your book back to the library on time and don’t get fined!
Duration: Open Ended
RULES
Start on the 'Start Here' space, roll your dice and move to a numbered space.
You must complete the task for that space BEFORE rolling again.
If you land on a “GO BACK” space and get sent back to a task you have already done you must do that task again using a different book.
*FORFEITS: Some spaces will give you an option of going back OR doing a forfeit. If you choose the forfeit, stay on the space you are on and roll the dice once. The number you roll is the number of the forfeit you must do. Read a book to complete your forfeit task before rolling again and continuing the game. The 6 forfeit categories are listed in msg #3
If you land on a space that requires you to “GO HOME” you must return to the beginning and start over.
You do not need to land on 'The Library' by exact number to finish. (i.e if you are on 98 and roll a 5, you are done, you don't need to back track)
After each move, as well as updating your original post, please post a new message with the following information.

Book: Heroine
Finished:10/28/19
Summery:HEROINE shines a light on the young people affected by America's opioid crisis. Mickey Catalan is a good, well-liked teen. She's honest and hardworking and a star of her championship softball team. In fact, softball is her life, her passion. When Mickey and her best friend get into a serious car accident, Mickey is anxious to recover in time to play her senior season and secure a spot on a college team. She's prescribed OxyContin for her pain and discovers she loves the warm, painless cocoon the drug provides. Convincing herself that she should keep taking it until she's back in shape and playing well, she betrays the trust of her family and friends to get the drug illegally. Her descent into addiction and her need to hide her drug use upends her relationships with those who love her. With her life and future on the line, Mickey needs to face some hard truths about her behavior and her health, but the drugs make it far too easy to ignore these important problems and let her life slip away.
