April Subdue the Shelf Roll Requests
Anita wrote: "Hello everyone!I just got back. How's everyone doing? Is anyone waiting on me for anything other than Shake It Up Sunday?"
Welcome home, Anita!
It looks like Joanne took care of it, but I thought I'd point out two special rolls (that put previous rolls with the 1 die rolled yesterday). Diane H and Olivermagnus in messages 379 and 381. In case you wanted to take a look. Thanks!
And Chili got a special roll, as well, but it was an easy one for me to figure out and let her know.
Trying to get caught up today. Please alert me if I miss anything critical! Diana, you will be moving Nancy with your 3-1 roll.

Olivermagnus rolled a 1-1. I think the leader is clearly Joy. Joy, please move back three spaces once you have completed your current book
Update: I see, Joy, that you recognized this on your own, so thanks for that. Seems all situated!
Thank you, Joanne and Cindy, for holding down the fort for the weekend! So appreciated!!I have entered all of the dice rolls into my spreadsheet. I just have to review a couple of questions about individual boards that Joanne had, and then I should be able to get the consolidated boards posted this afternoon.

@ Anita and Joanne
I am now on 83.
My tracking post shows my moves, which included two "use when you want" rewards. I used my roll of "1" to get to #83.
I see that Diana gets to pick my next book!
(I've got my fingers crossed for two upcoming bookclub books - Horse and The Book of Longings. Miss Pettigrew fits a challenge to read a book written in the 1930's.)
I am ready for another roll, please! (1)
I'm ready for another 🎲 dice roll (1) Thanks.My last roll took me off the Engineer Loop 2 Gameboard. I've posted my new Station Master Board so it's ready for it's Screenshot.
Congratulations, OM! Cabanna Boys have been alerted and are scrambling to get that Welcome banner up and the caboose tidied!Hope you like the spiffy new uniform.
Congrats to OM! On the move, and looking sharp!
I'm ready for my next roll please.My last book was just over 500 pages so (2).
Here is the hardcover from Amazon:

Everyone knows the Caboose is the most fun car. After reading A Master of Djinn, I'm thinking of adding an optional bowler hat to the new uniform.
I would like my next dice roll (1), please. Thanks.

That would be AWESOME! Bring on the bowler hats!
I'm ready for my next roll. Thanks!
I love a good bowler hat, too. Maybe you could add a British accent to the outfit!

Can I have my next roll (1), please. My last roll was book 100 on my board, so my next roll will be my first on the Station Master board. I've posted my list there.
I'm ready for my next roll please (1). I know that Diana's special roll might move me first.
Great job Hannah! Have Oliver get a bowler hat too!
Joanne wrote: "Great job Hannah! Have Oliver get a bowler hat too!"I'm not so great in a hat, but I can definitely bring the British accent you were looking for!

Thanks Anita! That roll actually lands me on spot 15 which puts me elsewhere? Do I read #15 first?
Jen K wrote: "Thanks Anita! That roll actually lands me on spot 15 which puts me elsewhere? Do I read #15 first?"Oooh congrats!! Yes, read #15 first, and I will tell you what happens after that shortly.
**Attention former Engineers**If you could please hide your engineer boards using spoiler tags that would be super helpful!!
NancyJ wrote: "I'm ready for my next roll please (1). I know that Diana's special roll might move me first."I'll move Nancy to #97. I haven't read Horse but I have it on my TBR and would be interested to read Nancy's thoughts on it.

Well, that wasn't the biggest (luckiest) move we've had, Jen. But it's better than one die.
You should move to 28 after you read 15.

Thanks Diana, I just got the notice from the library, so I’m thrilled to start it tonight.

You need to read/review today's roll first - - just a heads up!
Anita and JoAnne, please mark my roll as 6+1, the additional 1 is from my saved "extra moves" from reading a book that matched the tag. I have marked it on my Gameboard.

Good enough! I need to read the books on the board anyhow. I will read #15 and then #28.

A proper British umbrella from James Smith & Son would be the perfect accoutrement to your Station Master uniform!
I still remember the day over 35 years ago that I happened to walk by their shop while on vacation. Too burdened with law school debt to buy one, I had to be satisfied just looking.
Very much a John Steed look.
I am ready for another roll, please! (1)

The latest roll takes me off the end of the Station Master Board for Loop 1. I will set up my board for Loop 2.
Theresa, maybe we land in the same seat again.

@Anita and JoAnne - I have no bolded spot on my Clerk board as I finished, reviewed, and crossed-out #77. Just waiting on my roll... hoping it's a really big one!
Theresa, when this happens I just leave you where you were until you get a roll-you should be moved today or tomorrow, depending on my schedule-thanks

We all get a surprise this morning, while we stop for short time. Pentatonix is waiting out on the platform for another train and they agreed to give us a song. Everyone open up your windows and be happy now~ and remember to dance! 🕺🕺💃💃

I just got back. How's everyone doing? Is anyone waiting on me for anything other than Shake It Up Sunday?"
Welcome back! If you could check that I moved correctly when Olivermagnus rolled a 1,1, I would appreciate it. See msg 386 above for details.
