That's too funny!! I had no idea I was a stealth Ken supporter!

Clearly Joy was tired of her shabby uniform and decided to hustle into Royal Coach! I trust the Wardrobe Attendant met you at the door with tape measure in hand! I understand some lovely loungewear has been added to the wardrobe for those whose clothes are being freshened or replaced for the next board.

Hmmmm - Sue, JoAnne, Amy, and BooknBlues all hanging in Second Class Lounge? No wonder there are mutters about the I'm surprised ANY reading is getting done!
We have been enjoying the refreshments quite a bit as well as the entertainment!

You are always on the cutting edge, clearly!
Theresa wrote: "Where's everyone hanging out on the Subdue Express these days? .."Officially I'm in the Locomotive! But I have to read 99 because I accidentally read 100 earlier this year, forgetting it was on my list!
Gnarly is probably pretty happy with the Meowy Wowwy!
I would like my next dice roll (1), please. Thanks!
Thanks to Ursula, I was moved back to the Second Class Lounge. Luckily, I have an excellent company sitting with Joanne, Sue and Booknblues.
I’m pretty sure that I’m there as well. Nice to have your company.

2nd Class a cornucopia of the U.S.A Diana, who I loved meeting, is here too! We are having a ball telling each other about our home town and enjoying the snacks and drinks. Leave Tom alone Theresa, he was my find and I can use his services as I want!
@ Joy, I love those those celestial loungers! They would look great one you
I am ready for another roll, please! (1)I've selected the dark blue with the celestial pattern :-)

That is a 1,1 for my last 2 rolls so plan to read the one I landed on and then back up 3 spaces. JoAnne, this will put me on space 89 ultimately.
I'm also in Royal Coach (spot 90 ... nearly 500 pg and just started it today). Still in Clerk level, though. I'd like RED jammies, please. (Although I DO like the celestial pattern ... good choice, Joy!)
Ok BC, now I keep trying to click on the pajamas so I can order a pair. I’ve been practically living in pajama pants, joggers, and soft t shirts, so an upgrade might be in order here. They’ll make me look just like these models, right?

Ah, they are available. In fact, here's the link - as you arrive in Royal Coach, just pick your size, style and color choice and let the Wardrobe Attendant know - direct access to the inventory.

All the boys and staff know who keeps this train humming along full of fun, frivolity, and flexing opportunities (for Cabbana Boys and Firefighters, though I spotted the Royal Coach Butler, in his Thunder Mountain Mickey Mouse hat, joining them at one point.)
CGI Tom has also been
I did hear Tom muttering under his breath that he's going to need to start charging these increasing expense back to a certain sassy Subdue reader. I merely suggested he clear everything with Train Management before undertaking any tasks or following instructions from anyone but Train Management.
Who is the Sassy Reader who is causing all the trouble, I might ask?Nancy, yes, putting on the silk pajamas makes you look just like the model. Money back guarantee!
I'm working through my Clerk list and am part of the lively Second Class Lounge group. If Tom is still taking special requests for loungewear I want this

Surely you know, Amy? There is only one reader who 'stirs things up' regularly causing Train Management to have to step in and read the riot act to Cabana Boys and CGI Tom.

I’ll have to go hunting for them. There are a lot of hiding spots in this house.

Tom is being so generous because he bought himself a pair-Though I did advise him not to tramps around the train in them-

My favorite color, too ... YUM YUM YUM!!!!!
I am ready for another roll, please! (1)
*pssst!*My next roll, please - 1
I have read and reviewed both the book I landed on and my 6:5 read from AJ's board.

Tom's been given a strict workout schedule in the Caboose gym since he insists on struttin' through the train in his silken loungers with the top unbuttoned. He's needs to tone up!
Oh Ursula! Look what we bought for you! Under the Sea silk lounging pajamas!
I'm ready for my nest roll (1).Thanks.
So sorry for the delay Joy!!!Rolls for 9/9:

My last two rolls were 2,1. I'm going to use participation points to move ahead 3 to 49 and will note it on my board.
@Anita and @JoAnne - just confirming as I am not used to getting any specials with my rolls - guess the Under the Sea silk pjs My last roll was a 6. This is a 1. 6+1=7 which means I move 7 spaces and either read that book or the one before or the one after, but stay where I landed.
If that is correct, I will move and note on my board which book I read.
Theresa wrote: "@Anita and @JoAnne - just confirming as I am not used to getting any specials with my rolls - guess the Under the Sea silk pjs bribe gift had some influence on Ursula - My last roll was a 6. This..."
That’s correct. I like this one. You don’t advance any faster, but I like having 3 choices.
Theresa, sent a message to Anita to respond-I have mixed thoughts on how this should be handled with one dice rolls.
If it makes any difference, I've done it before, using two consecutive rolls adding up to 7. (Link to post where I announced it on our thread back in August: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...)Based on this rule, which governs any Board beyond Clerk:
5. You will still be eligible for special rolls, however a special roll will be designated by two adjacent rolls of the die. For example, if your first roll in round two is a 6 and your second roll in round two is a 4, then you will be eligible for the 6-4 special roll and the surprise advantage that goes with that.
Thanks all, I really appreciate your responding. I can wait for Anita, Grand Poobah and CEO of Subdue Train Management, to give the final ruling. I have 3 other books partially read for challenges to finish and a Feminerdy Book Club to start. I suspect Anita's second job, which ends tomorrow, is draining every last drop from her before allowing in the blacksmith, which CGI Tom at my request hired to be on call to cut the shackles connecting her to that job's keyboard.
I've been doing this all through the Engineer Board, just noting it on my tracking. If I got a 4, then a 3 or a 5, then a 2, etc. I chose whether I preferred the book I landed on, the one before, or the one after. But as stated, you don't move your position. I think one time I read the book before, then rolled a 1 so I ended up on the original book anyway.
I am ready for my next roll. (1)I hope to be getting off this board with it. I have a new board prepared for my Engineer Round 2.
