message 208: by Mama X (new)

Mama X (mamax) I'm still on roll #2. LOL Looks like I'll make it to the library in a couple years. ;)


message 209: by Mama X (new)

Mama X (mamax) It's just taken me a while to find a book about a group of friends that I was willing to read this year. I have so many I already want to read in 2017! So I decided to use Cress since I'm aleady reading it. It's not exactly "Pretty Little Liars" group of friends, but they ARE a group of friends and main characters, so it'll do. :) I was going to read The Perks of Being a Wallflower, but I didn't have plans to read it this year and again... too many books! LOL I'm hoping to finish it in a couple weeks. Or I can use Out of Darkness. I think I'm going to read it before Cress. The author told me that it's about a group of friends, so there ya go. :)

Hi Twist - tell me to mind my own business if you like, but I just happened to glance at your main post while I was updating mine and I think you might have "Gone home" without needing to.

Unless I'm reading it wrong, you did task #48 (Coffee) then rolled a 1, which puts you on #49 (Go forward 3 spaces) not #47 (Go home). I'd hate for you to start over if you don't have to :)
