February Subdue the Shelf Roll Requests
I finally made it to the baggage car. I sped right past creepy CGI Tom to the magical trunk. Since I'll likely be here for awhile I pulled out a Lego Hogwarts express set to work on. I recently finished the gigantic Hogwarts castle set in real life so it seems fitting. I also watched the Bullet Train movie over the weekend, I'm glad we're not on that train.
I'm not near the Royal Coach, but I'm not going anywhere where I have to dress up! Maybe exotic lounge pajamas would do. (I never liked dressing up in my outside life either, avoiding prom and wearing an informal dress for my wedding.)
I suspect that no one will be lingering in the Royal Coach long since the journey end is in reach, no matter how comfortably luxurious it is.
I'm ready for another roll. Thanks!

Thanks to a short book, I am now ready for another roll.
I am ready for another roll, please. Anita, my last book was 624 pages, so it qualifies for a roll of 3 dice.
I'm ready for my next roll, thank you.
I'm ready for another roll. Thanks!
Note- for my special roll I had to choose an extra book from someone else’s list. I chose The Ghost and Mrs. Muir from Theresa’s list. It was different than I remembered it (were there kids in the movie?) but i liked it. Thanks Theresa!

I've started reading Love Story and noticed that the hardcover is less than 150 pages. I guess I should choose any other book on my board. Can it be any of them or should I choose the one before or after Love Story? Does it count as a swap?

I will be finishing my current book today. The next one turned out to be invisible. A year or so ago, I donated a bunch of books that had been sitting on my shelves and I wasn't always good at removing them from GR. I also didn't go around my house to check all the titles when I set up my list, I'll have to do that next round! But I have another book to substitute that has more pages, fits the monthly tag and a challenge for another group! I will note all this on my tracking.

I think there were kids in the TV series - have the movie saved on my DVR to watch again. It's been years. Decades.
I think... haven't check the Master Gameboard ... but I think this roll takes KateNZ off the board and into the Locomotive, driving the train to give the relief engineer a break before she rejoins the Caboose as a Clerk! 🥳🎈🎈💥🍾
It does take me off the board - I just need to post my outstanding reviews and it will be an official finish. My PC threw a hissy fit trying to post the first one, and I finished the second book while I was waiting for it to reset. Caboose crew, here I come. Tell Tom to shift over and make room for me and my stitching frame.
Space has been steadily clearing out - I think one of the chaises is even free at the moment. I'm still there -- and I can't wait to see your stitching up close! I started a new project over the weekend while visiting a friend. I plan on bringing it along.
Excellent. Caboose stitching party it is. (Or ‘stitch and b*tch’ as my husband calls it …) I hope the lighting is ok, but I do have my portable lamp with me if we need extra.
Can I have my first Porter roll please?
I didn’t care for Ninth House despite the wave of rave reviews.
I am 3/4 of the way through my current read, so I would like a new role please. (Still stuck in the caboose!)

I have had lighting upgraded in all the cars, and had portable stitching and reading lamps stocked in each car! Fortunately this train is well wired with outlets, power strips and charging ports!
I would like another role please. Thanks!

AnitaWhitney, My Love, hardback version was 577 pages and qualifies for a second die. I'll take it today if it's not too late. Thanks!
I believe my roll of 3-1 is a special roll and I'm supposed to move someone?
Ellen wrote: "I believe my roll of 3-1 is a special roll and I'm supposed to move someone?"Lol, thanks, Ellen! I had a busy day yesterday. Let me get on that right now!

There were 45 items in your list. Here they are in random order:

So as per the rules:
You get to decide which book they must move to next on their game board - - backward or forward -- within a 15 book radius. So you can move your opponent up to 15 spaces back or up to 15 spaces forward to the book of your choosing.

Not an evening gown, tux, or tiara in sight. At least not since WWII. And frankly today's decor is downright pedestrian. Now, during Victoria's era....oh my.
Our Royal Coach is very luxe but not over the top exotic. Here the butler has keys to a special wardobe in the Royal Coach that supplies whatever item of apparel you feel you need while there.
@KateNZ - it has various tiaras for those who forgot theirs [note to self: bring one of my tiaras along).
