This Challenge was suggested by Dreamer.

November's solo challenge asks you to move an imaginary piece across a gaming board by reading, as a way to roll the die. The number you roll is dependent on the number of pages of the book you finish.
You can choose for yourself whether you want to use the shortcuts on the board if land on them or not.

Here is a link to the free template I found:
https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-M_BAk02L9U...

Duration: November 1-30, 2021

Registration:
Everyone can join in at any given time of the duration of the challenge, just by saying so in this topic. Registration will begin in the last third of October.

Rules:
1) Read books to roll your die and move your imaginary piece across the board to reach the finish square.
2) Any book counts as long as it's finished in November.
3) How many fields you can move depends on the length of the book you finish:
<100 pages = rolling a 1
101-200 pages = rolling a 2
201-300 pages = rolling a 3
301-400 pages = rolling a 4
401-500 pages = rolling a 5
>500 pages = rolling a 6
>650 pages = you get a second die which automatically roles a 3 to add to the 6 you just rolled
>800 pages = you get a second die which automatically roles a 6 to add to the 6 you just rolled

4) Make a post with the empty board game image in this topic at the beginning of the challenge. Edit that post for each book you finish with a) where your piece is now and b) add the books you read to move it there as a list below with their pages.
5) Also please make a new post saying how your di(c)e rolled whenever finishing a book.
6) Have fun!

Nice, some are off to a good start already, and so far no one has opted for the short cuts ;-)

Congratulations on finishing, BLOBBIE!

I'll leave the thread open for another day or two so you can add any books finished in November you weren't able to post yet.
