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! :)
