That roll put me at #15.
It looks right, Anita! And that gives me a 6-4 "special advantage" with my last roll
Thanks, Amy! I am loving both the challenges and the tags
I'm ready for a roll on the Porter Level (1)

Olivermagnus, you move to #34 next!

Your special advantage is you can move 5 spaces in front of the person who is next in front of you. You may use this special advantage when you wish. Just please be sure to note it carefully in your tracking board.

Those were 15 books that had been sitting on my tbr for a number of years, so I am quite happy to have read them.

Yay, I rolled off my board! Thanks, Anita!

WOW! 15 books is great!
Ready for my next roll please - 2 Clerk
I finished my #100 book, so I'm done with this board! I'll post my E2 list by 3pm, and I'll need a new roll today please.

That is marvelous BnB! I am just about ready to move onto book #5 so 15 books for this level sounds great to me!
With regards to BnB's post above, I was going to post this morning how much I am loving getting rid of books that have been avoiding me the last few years! Good or bad, they are getting off the shelves, making room for newer books 🤣, I gave up trying to reduce the number of books there a year or two ago.
I am ready for another roll, please! (1)

Fantastic, Diana!!!!
Joanne wrote: "With regards to BnB's post above, I was going to post this morning how much I am loving getting rid of books that have been avoiding me the last few years! Good or bad, they are getting off the she..."I agree with both of you. I am on #65 of the Clerk board and have finished 9 books, 8 of which have lived long in the TBR Towers, including the book I picked from another player's board. And they are books I have long wanted to read!
Today I get a new roll, and I am starting to see the Locomotive ahead of me, thanks to Olivermagnus moving me ahead. I am already readying my Porter board! 😅 Since my reading pace there will continue to be slow given ongoing work and life demands, I have decided to front load it with books from my TBR identified for other challenges like Popsugar (already halfway through) and Around the Year (less than 20 prompts left). There are a couple of chunksters in there.
Meanwhile back on the Clerk Board, I will continue to wallow in all the light relatively short reads!

I need a roll as well, thank you (1)
Anita, I had to edit my Engineer II board, just before 3pm EST today. (In case you already made your copy.)

Two of my early rolls were books I've been avoiding, and then I just...kept avoiding them :) I didn't want to use swaps because the whole point of having them on there was to make me read them. And I'm glad I did, so it's working!

This roll keeps me enjoying the First Class Cafe! This morning's excellent breakfast sandwich and mango smoothie, plus the so comfy upholstered seating had me, while waiting for my next roll, start a history book buddy read that I have put into my reading rotation.Now to see what my next Subdue read is!
Those of us still lagging in Second Class got biscuits and jam for breakfast with some lovely Irish Breakfast tea-much better than the wilted salad they tried to push on me for lunch-yuk. I rummaged behind the bar and found the fixing for a Bloody Mary and loaded it with all the extra goodies (olives, a hunk of salami, some cheese and pickle and celery).
I'm ready for another 🎲 dice roll (1). Thanks
Joanne, I did very much enjoy my breakfast with you, albeit, Motzah instead of biscuits. How delicious to dine with you. My inability to get into that first parlor car with Teresa is astounding. But if I ever finish my tomorrow times three book, my next book, she’ll get me a new roll of the dice that will likely get me into the first parlor car. I would sort of like to be a porter by mid May.
I am ready for another roll, please! (1)(I won't need to use it after all.)
Thanks for the reminder about matzoh, Amy! Train management under the stern eye of CGI Tom has the Cabanna Boys and Firemen stocking every single car with suitable passover snacks - matzoh, macaroons, chocolate covered jellies, etc.

If I thought there might be macaroons in the box too, I might have been tempted to pretend it was my order.

In fact, mail coming to me has been returned as "no such address" even though everything on the envelope is correct! Our neighbor got someone else's patio furniture last week and ended up asking my husband to help deliver it to the right address as no one would come back to get it and take it there (we have truck, he does not).
I am ready for my next roll, please! (1)

Note: I'm going to the Orioles/Yankees game today (O's home opener) so the rolls may be doled out before and after that - - but not at the usual 3-4 pm).
I would like my next roll please. If possible, I would also like to use my extra 2 dice rolls that I gained when I finished Norwegian Wood on 23/3/23 as it was tagged Japan by 1959, now 1966, people: https://www.goodreads.com/work/shelve...
Thank you!
I am going to use a 7 (1 rolled on 3/5 and 6 rolled on 3/10) to get me past a few books that don't appeal at the moment.

Only great if your birthday is late in the month! I know I'm not really competing, but that would only add 1 to my roll! LOL!"
I'd be mid-month with 19 - I would take it!
