Looks like the Subdue Express is running through a lengthy track repair section of the track, with sections of creeping pace and even stoppages. Take the opportunity to stretch your reading legs!Or just gaze out the window at the workers .... bars, vending machines and buffets have been resupplied. And the viewing stands in the Cabanna Boy gym are open!

He was planning to see the Yankees and Twins. (He lives near NY city, but still roots for Minnesota.) Something came up and he can’t go now, but he’ll see them play in April.
Ok, I'm here and will do the rolls in just a few minutes. Let me back up to see who has requested one...
Roll requests for 2/23 (thank you all for posting how many dice you need!): Robin P (1)
Olivermagnus (1)

Hopefully that's what Anita does - just rolls the total number of dice needed and slots them in order of the requests + number of dice per player. Anyway, that's I'm going with so there are your rolls! LOL!
I am off to a Library Board Meeting-so FYI I won't be updating the "behind the scenes" Master board today, which means that no update can/will be posted here until at least tomorrow morning (and remember, Anita is off on holiday and won't be updating regularly again until Monday).
Thanks, Cindy! That roll takes me off the Engineer Board for the first loop. I'll get my new Board ready for the Engineer 2nd loop.Thanks for the reminder, JoAnne!

Today was the earliest of the next few days that I'll be around to do a roll. Sunday may be similar timing.
Friday/Saturday are going to be later with tomorrow (Fri) not too far off the timing as I post this now (maybe an hour or so earlier).
Today was the earliest of the next few days that I'll be around to do a roll. Sunday may be similar ..."Oh gosh, Cindy. I'm certainly not complaining and I apologize if you took it that way. Believe me when I say I have plenty of other books to read in the meantime. Thanks for stepping in during Anita's absence.
I would like a new roll please (2).@LibraryCin, thanks so much keeping the rolls going!
@Anita, have a fabulous trip!
I am starting my #69, the Villa and my Wicked 11 second book is going to be A Flicker in the Dark, which I am reading next. I forget whose gameboard it comes from, but will update. Currently writing a review of two other books blended and entwined, but got to 10% of the Villa this morning.

I know this! That's where I found it. Right at #14 on your Gameboard. If I say "Shelf" by accident, Theresa is going to have CGI Tom and the Cabana Boys throw me off the train with that damn cat right behind me.

I just wanted to take the opportunity that the timing will be a bit wonky while it's me doing it!
That being said, I'm here now, so give me a few minutes to see who needs a roll, and get organized, etc... Rolls coming in the next 5 minutes or so!
Ellen wrote: "Ooooh. Too late for a roll!Duh. I won't be needing the roll right now as I realized I could use one of my special rolls: 2+1 I will just move 3 spaces up to #19. thanks anyway."
Gotcha!

I was going to check special rolls, but to be honest, because I have not followed close enough to see what I'd be combining for those only rolling 1 die, I think I'll just leave that to Anita (or yourselves) to figure out!Of those who rolled 2 dice, though, I see that Jen has a special roll:
6-5: You must read a book that's on someone else's board and NOT on your own before you may roll again. (extra note here: you may read the book you land on first and then read the other person's book, or vice-versa. So two books must be completed before you re-roll).
I know Anita said she would so special rolls when she got back so I'm just documenting this for her. My last roll was a 3 and today's roll was a 1.

Lots of great options on the other boards. Will be hard to choose!
Note: That's a 5 then 6 for me, so I'll be reading a book from another player's gameboard in addition to the one I landed on.
My last 2 rolls were 3-1. So I think that means I get to choose a move for another player, but the Mods pick the player randomly. Since I haven't had this kind of special roll before, I don't know if I still read the book that is one space away (my last roll) or if I am supposed to request a new roll?
Cindy!!!! I am ready for a clerk level roll! Halfway through my actual, 69, although I do need to read another twisted mystery before I can actually move on. But I do want to see where this lands me. I am a lady who likes to plan, and one who likes to see things moving forward and progressing.

Robin, continue your board, as it does not effect you personally. You read what you rolled. I will alert Anita that you need a special roll of your 3-1 and she will administer it when she returns.

Great, thanks!
I was hinting at that with the "Clerk Level" Request, but yes - the two dice that get me closer and closer to the drivers seat of what appears to be the fourth or fifth train on the tracks.
No worries Amy, Cindy is not that familiar with the rolls and just trying to make it easier for her.
I'm ready for another 🎲 dice roll (2). Thanks.My last book was 544 pages so I get an extra die today.
Anne Boleyn: A King's Obsession
Joanne wrote: "@Cindy-RE: Amy's request it is a roll with 2 dice"Thanks, Joanne. I won't do the rolls until this afternoon, but Amy - did you say you have another book to finish before you can move on?
Am I mistaken, but don't you need to be halfway through your second book before requesting your next roll?
ETA: Oh, your other book is not for the game! (I reread your note.) Sorry for misunderstanding. I won't be doing the rolls until I get home from volunteering mid-this afternoon, anyway. (Likely closer to late-afternoon for those on the East Coast.)
