April-June 2024 Reading Challenge

[Liliana, YA Paranormal Lover]

How to play:
1. Roll a single die (it can be a real one or a virtual one—all you have to do is google ‘roll die’).
2. Move to the square you landed on and complete the challenge.
3. After it's completed (it doesn’t have to be done all in one sitting), roll again and complete the next challenge, and so on and so forth.
4. If you land on a square that has a challenge AND a ‘Jump Ahead’ or ‘Roll Again,’ complete the challenge FIRST before moving on.
5. The goal is, of course, to reach the END. You will have won the game after the final challenge is complete.

Two ways to play:
1. Easy version: In order for the challenge to be considered complete, you must read at least HALF the book where applicable.
2. Hard version: In order for the challenge to be considered complete, you must finish the WHOLE book where applicable.

Yes it really is!

[Kayleigh {K-Books}, YA Fantasy Fan]

That's such a difficult one for me. I don't even have a library card.

Which I still think is crazy! :) I'd be so lost without my library access! Or at least so broke lol

My library is so bad. Legit doesn't have any books published after 2015. There is legit no point in me having one. Also, I guess I'm super lucky that I live in the country that is apparently cheapest for books. We can get some paperbacks for like £3.

I'd be hurting financially or just not reading anywhere as much as I currently do.

[Brittany]

Being the cheapest for books definitely helps! Cant get new books for that price here unless they are on sale.
Hate that your library is so terrible though! I use mine mostly for manga and audios.

[Kayleigh {K-Books}, YA Fantasy Fan]

The libraries in the UK are shocking. There's next to no audios or online/ebooks either. It's bad. I honestly don't know a single person that uses the library near me. It's always empty because there's nothing there. I really wish it was different as they're so important to have but there's just nothing in there that I would ever want to read. I do use KU which I'm going to treat like a library for this challenge as I am technically loaning the book.

[Brittany]

Of course Id land on set in space after I read a sci-fi book... damn.

[Liliana, YA Paranormal Lover]

It was just national library week, so that's why I picked that one. Lol. I knew you guys would appreciate it 😆

Kay I had no idea libraries in the UK were so bad! That makes me really sad. Idk what I would do without my library... Be broke, probably lol

Yeah, I legit don't know anyone who uses theirs near me. I don't know whether it's just my area or the whole country but they're pretty dire. If I say to anyone in the UK that I don't use my library as a reader they're usually like 'yeah me either'.

[Liliana, YA Paranormal Lover]

Oh yay! Nicely done Elena! I'm just over halfway across the board, so we're getting there. Lol.

[Gord]

I'm about two thirds of the way through the board. I should be able to complete this as there are only a couple tough looking ones ahead of me.

[Brittany]

Congrats Elena!

I got myself stuck on space books. Maybe Ill read one but not likely right now

[Gord]

Finished another one!

[Brittany]

Nice Gord!!

[Liliana, YA Paranormal Lover]

Yay! Congrats Gord! Nicely done! How is everyone else doing?

I'm on the last line of the board so I'm hoping I'll be able to complete this board this time lol.

[Kayleigh {K-Books}, YA Fantasy Fan]

I will not be completing this one. I've barely read anything since the beginning of May. I'm super slumpy and I'm stuck on the 'read a book from your library' which I won't be able to do. I was going to use a KU book in its place but I'm slumping hard and can't even focus on any of those.

[Brittany]

Yeah I wont be completing it either. Still stuck on a space book, just not in the mood

[Lucy]

Almost done. Two more! Cutting it real close lol

[Lucy]

YAY! Finished! That was fun, looking forward to the next one.

[Liliana, YA Paranormal Lover]

Nice job Lucy! And you finished it just in time! Lol. I'll be posting the next one today as soon as I get home from work
