Team Battleship
Only one in the 3rd section that fits is Eunice's The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society which has the double E in the title.
Mod
I looked through all of the books and nothing else qualifies. At least we do have one but that's it. I'll post Eunice's book.
Mod
Sounds good.
So the tasks are the same for the spaces no matter how many times we land on them?
Correct. We just hope to have books to move on quickly. Next team can’t roll until the task is complete.
We landed on Pacific Ave (paid $26 rent) and collected $25 from Team Thimble. Our tasks are:
Read a book with a green cover (>50%)
Read a book whose title starts with a P
Read a book set in a place that borders the Pacific Ocean
Read a book by an author whose first or last initial can be found in “PACIFIC”
1.
for green cover. or
2.
fits authors initials found in PACIFIC... Claire Cullen is the author.They are low in values so it works out.
I'm down for whichever has lower points, I guess

We landed on Boardwalk!!!! I am shocked. I could swear we were going to land on another 9!Tasks are:
Read a book with a dark blue cover (>50%)
Read a book whose title ends with a letter in “BOARDWALK”
Read a book set on/near a beach
Read a book by an author whose first and last initials can be found in “BOARDWALK”
I am assuming most are away but I vote for
which I think fits dark blue cover and first and last initials can be found in “BOARDWALK” with RD. It is also only $19!
We have to buy it and that is a great option!
I agree.. it’s a must buy and if it’s there.. use it.
Thanks ladies! We haven't had much luck landing on available property, hopefully this is a good sign!

Tasks are:
Read a book with an orange cover (>50%)
Read a book whose title starts with J
Read a book set in Europe
Read a book by an author whose first or last initial can be found in “STJAMES”
Happenstance which is $10 fits in the 4th task. I think it's a given!
Also, we passed go and thanks to all of the reading we banked $414!!! And still have plenty of books to get us through the rolls! Woohoo!!!

Computers were hacked at work so I couldn't hop on like I usually do then just kid's games and birthday delayed me more. We did something small for the time being but the fact we sang to him and he played with his cousin made his day. He's super easy to please.

Hi team! Team Top Hat rolled earlier so now it was our turn! We rolled a 6 and landed on Park Place owned by Team Thimble... we owe them $35. Tasks are:
Read a book with a dark blue cover (>50%)
Read a book whose title contains all the letters in “PARK”
Read a book with a rich character
Read a book by an author whose first or last initial can be found in “PLACE”
I'm going to use the $29 book we have that fits PLACE. Next time we cross go, we're going to use the highest 10 books you all have done an amazing job reading. I'll throw in a novella or two for extra books to hopefully use on our next rounds.Any interesting reads? Recommendations? I know Raquel had one!
I just finished Tattered and the mc is rich! I just need to enter my completed date in the spreadsheet.
Mod
- added the date to the spreadsheet. No sure if we could have used it.

It has a high page count! If we don't use it for a task, it'll deposit nicely into our bank account!
If only I could really deposit the pages read into a real bank account ***sigh***
Mod
The banked books with check marks are used and done with?
Yes! We have deposited those in the “bank” and can’t be used for tasks.
Mod
We do need to pay rent and buy stuff...LOL
We got thrown in JAIL!!!!!!!!!Tasks are:
Read a book where a character goes to jail
Read a book where a character is held prisoner/captive
Read a book with a law enforcement character
Read a book with a title that contains ALL the letters in "JAIL"
Oof!! I recently finished a book that has a law enforcement MC, but it's 449 pages :<
We need 2 books...I know the book No Prince the MC goes to jail but it's 400 pages. I'm almost positive in 20 Years Later, a character goes to jail... Raquel?
Recursion has a law enforcement character which is $34Circus of the Damned, Anita is held captive for a little bit - we have two read on that book and it's $32 each

Ok so we’re not in jail… we’re passing so no tasks are required. We’re good!
Mod
Sorry for late response. Yes in twenty years later, a character goes to jail.
We landed on Virginia and surprisingly it's still available! Scooped that up for $160 and collected rent from Top Hat for $12.Here are the tasks:
Read a book with a pink cover (>50%)
Read a book whose title starts with V
Read a book set in Virginia or West Virginia
Read a book by an author whose first and last initials can be found in “VIRGINIA”
I think the quickest option is the first and last initials... Storm of Locusts by Rebecca Roanhorse... R is in VIRGINIA
